DT400/DT400R
When a 9 volt battery is inserted in a DT400 or
DT400R throttle, the following two splash screens
are displayed in sequence.
The first splash screen displays the firmware ID
and version.
The second splash screen displays the battery
voltage.
When a DT400 or DT400R throttle is plugged into
the LocoNet it displays either Ir" or Ra and the
LocoNet ID of the LocoNet it is plugged into.
When a DT400R throttle is then unplugged, it will
only control trains on a LocoNet with that ID.
A DT400 throttle has no radio capability and needs
to be plugged into the LocoNet to change any
setting, such as speed and direction. However, it
will work as a memory throttle. You can unplug
the DT400 and the train will maintain its speed and
direction until the DT400 is plugged in and a
setting is changed.
A DT400R has a simplex (one way) radio capability. Once the LocoNet ID has been set by plugging
it into the LocoNet, speed, direction and functions, e.g. headlight, can be controlled with the DT400R
unplugged. The DT400R needs to be plugged into the LocoNet for all other operations, such as
entering a decoder number.
