Example of a Route
You want your train to go east from Point “A” to Point “E”.
The Route will take it through turnout numbers 1 through 4.
• Turnout #1 is a right hand turnout and the train will take
the Diverging Route (curved leg).
• Turnout #2 is a right hand turnout and the train will take
the Diverging Route.
• Turnout #3 is a left hand turnout and the train will take
the Main/Tangent Route (straight leg).
• Turnout #4 is a left hand turnout and the train will take
the Diverging Route.
In this example, all turnouts in this Route are wired
normally so that activating button #1 (when prompted to
enter “1or2” during operation of a Route) makes points go
through the the Main/Tangent Route, and activating
button #2 makes points go through the Diverging Route.
The normal polarity of these turnouts is the forward ()
direction.
To program this Route (lets call it Route #6):
On your Cab –
1. Press SYS followed by 5
2. “Route SET” appears on LCD. Press ENTER.
3. Enter the Route number (1 - 31), in this case 6.
Press Enter.
4. “Add Accy #” will display. Using 0 to 9, enter an
accessory address number (1-255), in this case 1 for
turnout #1. Press Enter.
5. “Add Accy #” shows in display again prompting you
to add the next accessory into this Route. In this
case, press 2 (for turnout #2). Press Enter.
6. “Add Accy #” will display. Enter 3 (for turnout #3).
7. You want the train to take the Main/Tangent Route at
junction #3, which is opposite of all other junctions,
you want this turnout programmed for reverse polarity.
Press DIRECTION until display shows reverse ().
Press ENTER.
7. “Add Accy #” will display. Enter 4 (for turnout #4).
Press ENTER.
8. “Add Accy #” will display. Press ENTER without
entering any data. Normal screen appears on the
LCD.
Congratulations…you’ve just programmed in Route #6!
