PROGRAMMING FOR ARD AND REVERSE OPERATION
With E-Z Command and oth r DCC syst ms, forward and r v rs trav l is r lativ to th locomotiv and not th track. To assign a
dir ction that th train will r cogniz as b ing “forward,” first activat th locomotiv by running it forward a short distanc . N xt,
pr ss and hold th locomotiv ’s curr nt addr ss button AND th “Stop” button, th n r l as both buttons simultan ously. Th LED
pow r indicator will flash quickly to signal that your Control C nt r is in programming mod . Pr ss th dir ction button you wish to
assign as “forward” (figur 13). Finally, pr ss th locomotiv ’s addr ss button, th n pr ss th “Stop” button to xit programming mod .
Onc dir ction programming is compl t , you can chang th r lativ dir ction of trav l of your locomotiv at any tim by bringing
your locomotiv to a compl t stop and pr ssing th appropriat dir ction button.
RUNNING MULTIPLE LOCOMOTIVES
To run multipl locomotiv s simultan ously, follow th instructions d scrib d in th “Programming a Locomotiv to a Sp cific
Addr ss” s ction. For illustration purpos s, l t’s assum you’v assign d on locomotiv to addr ss 1 and a s cond locomotiv to
addr ss 2.
To b gin, pr ss th addr ss 1 button and turn th control knob clockwis to pow r up th corr sponding locomotiv . Th r d LED
n xt to button 1 will b lit, indicating that control of th locomotiv assign d to that addr ss is activ .
To activat th locomotiv on addr ss 2, simply pr ss th addr ss 2 button. At this point, th r d LED n xt to addr ss 2 will b lit,
and th locomotiv on addr ss 1 will carry on running at its last sp d and dir ction s tting (w call this “running in background”).
To activat locomotiv numb r 2, simply turn th controll r knob slightly. Now, locomotiv 2 is activ and you can d t rmin its
sp d and dir ction s ttings ind p nd ntly of locomotiv 1. Turn th controll r knob to s t th d sir d sp d. With up to 10 addr ss s
at your disposal, you can switch among multipl locomotiv s in this fashion.
NOTE: THE 1AM TRANSFORMER SU LIED WILL RUN TWO LOCOMOTIVES AT ANY ONE TIME. O ERATION
OF MORE THAN TWO LOCOMOTIVES WITH THE E-Z COMMAND CONTROLLER CAN AFFECT THEIR
ERFORMANCE AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL OWER IN UT. E-Z COMMAND 5AM OWER BOOSTER
(ITEM NO. 44910) MAY BE REQUIRED.
ELECTRIC MOMENTUM
Wh n using th sp d control knob to start and stop your locomotiv , your E-Z Command syst m allows your trains to op rat with a
r alistic acc l ration and coasting ff ct call d “El ctric Mom ntum.” Rath r than starting or stopping abruptly, th ngin will
acc l rat and slow mor gradually, r plicating th charact ristics of a prototyp locomotiv and cars. R m mb r to plan car fully
wh n slowing or stopping your train.
EMERGENCY STOP
Th syst m r li s on you to pr v nt crash s. To avoid a collision, pr ss th “Stop” button to stop all train motion. Trains will r sum
th ir xisting sp ds and dir ction wh n th “Stop” button is pr ss d for a s cond tim , so it is important that you tak th appropriat
st ps to pr v nt a crash whil in “Em rg ncy Stop” mod . Though som pot ntial collisions may r quir you to physically r ori nt
your trains in ord r to b av rt d, ou can also send preventive digital commands (e.g. changing speed or direction) to our locomotives while the
are in “Emergenc Stop” mode. Onc th appropriat commands hav b n nt r d, pr ss th “Stop” button again and r sum op ration.
Should a collision occur, simply pr ss th “Stop” button. Cl ar locomotiv s and rolling stock as n d d and plac th m back on th
track. Pr ss th “Stop” button a s cond tim to r sum op ration.CONSISTING
