CONTROLS FOR DC OPERATION
Power Switch
The master on-off switch is the left side of the cabinet. OFF disconnects the
power going to your Throttlepack 9950 to completely shut down the unit. ON will
power the unit and LCD will light up indicating there is track power available.
There will be a slight delay in the LCD until the Throttlepack 9950 powers up or
powers down.
*Scale/Gauge Switch
On the bottom of the cabinet is a small micro-switch. Turn OFF the Throttlepack
9950 before toggling this switch. Slide this switch into the position to match the
output of the train controller for your layouts scale or gauge, (HO/N or O/G).
Sliding the switch towards the front of the cabinet will put the Throttlepack 9950
into the O/G mode. Placing the switch into the opposite direction sets the
Throttlepack 9950 to the HO/N scales.
Momentum Button
The momentum button allows you to toggle the momentum on/off. With the
momentum OFF a change in the throttle setting results in an immediate change
in the locomotive speed. With the momentum ON, the locomotive starts out more
slowly like a real locomotive. The LCD will display a light bulb icon when
momentum is on. This feature can substantially add to your model railroading
enjoyment. When a real locomotive is given an increase in throttle setting there is
a lag until the pre-set speed is reached. The heavier the load of the cars being
drawn, the longer the lag time.
Brake Button
The brake button on your Throttlepack 9950 is a momentary push button. Hold
down the brake button to operate the brake function. Your locomotive will slow at
a steady rate. To have a more gradual decrease in speed you need to activate
the Momentum by pressing the Momentum button and then use the Brake
button. After releasing the Brake button your locomotive speed will return
according to the setting on the Throttle Control.
Direction Button
The direction button reverses the polarity of voltage applied to the track and
reverses the direction of your locomotive. This button should only be operated
when the locomotive is not moving (throttle control turned to STOP) to prevent
damage to the locomotive mechanism. The LCD will display the direction you
have selected. Forward direction is indicated by an Up Arrow and reverse
direction is indicated by a Down Arrow. Note: Your Throttlepack 9950 will
remember the last direction used after powering down.
