Configuration for the
Professional Quality HP 0/1 Color Light Signal
A new signal must first be programmed in order to operate it digitally.
To do this, leave the new signal in its packaging and connect it to the
Central Station. If the signal has already been taken out of its
packaging, make sure that the wire bracket encased in cardstock
(programming bracket) is hooked on to the underside of the decoder.
Note:
When you are programming signals it is important that no locomotives be
run during the programming period. In addition, you must remember that
the signal will stop the programming procedure if no entries are made
within 30 seconds.
Set up the signal in the keyboard in the normal fashion. Make sure that
the switching duration for this signal is set at 1,000 milliseconds.
Now switch the Central Station to the normal operating mode.
Now, the signal to be programmed starts blinking. Click on signal icon
for this signal on the Central Station.
76391 -> Hp1
76395 -> Hp 1 and the home signal
assigned to the distant signal
76393 -> Hp1/Hp2
76395 -> Hp1/Hp2 and the home
signal assigned to the distant signal
76394 -> Hp1/Hp2/Sh1
76371 -> Sh1
76392 -> Sh1
When the signal begins to switch between the signal aspects, the
programming process is completed. You can now disconnect the signal and
remove the programming bracket. You can also now reset the switching
duration for this signal back to about 250 milliseconds.
Now install the signal on the layout according to your plan and connect
it to the track. The signal will receive its switching commands
directly from the track.
Note:
Keep the programming bracket; it will be necessary if you change the
address for the signal.
Note:
Keep in mind that a distant signal is always assigned to the next home
signal down the track. The signal aspect for the distant signal also
shows what the home signal assigned to it is showing.
On signals with a distant signal and a home signal mounted on a mast,
both signals are programmed together. They give first the signal
aspects for the home signal and then the signal aspects for the home
signal assigned to the distant sign.
