DCC Checkout
The sound board default address is 3. Select 3 on your DCC
controller. Turn the speed up and down. Sounds should play in
coordination with the changing speed commands. Test the function
buttons. The default function button assignment chart can be found on
page 11.
Reed Switch Checkout
If you will be using a reed switch and magnets to sense speed, you
may wish to hook them up and experiment with the magnets to get an
idea of the sensitivity of the reed switches. This will help you decide how
to mount them in the locomotive or car. Whenever the trigger (C2:4) is
connected to the trigger ground (C2:3) the system sees motion. The first
closure should play the start toots and the starting bell.
