Activating routes
Clearing routes
Switches
Select any route you’ve programmed by pressing
RTE and your chosen RTE ID#. Make sure you
press and hold the ID# button for one full second.
This ensures the command is issued to every switch
controller on your railroad.
“PRESS AND HOLD”. When you are
pressing the ID button, some of the
switches may not actually throw until
you’ve released the button. Switches
activate at different times once you’ve
selected the route—this keeps your
system (and your railroad’s power
supplies) from overloading due to
simultane ous activation of multiple
switches.
Clearing an existing route requires an abbreviated
version of programming new route. In this case, do
not add any switces to the route. This removes any
switches previously stored as part of this route.
