Page 6: Operating Modes
If the button is pressed longer than the pre-determined pulse time, the output will still be switched off. The SwitchPilot 3 Plus has a total of 16 transistor outputs, which are grouped in 8 output pairs 1 to 8. Each output pair contains Limiting the switch-on time prevents accessories to blow. -
Page 7: Operating Peco Turnout Drives
Incorrect wiring or a short circuit at an output in PECO mode can down (so-called „zoom” for incandescent lamp simulation). destroy the SwitchPilot 3 Plus decoder! K83 operation may cause problems with older DCC command sta- tions, because they do not transmit the required „Off” command (e.g.: older Lenz command stations). -
Page 8: K84 Operation (Bistable Continuous Operation)
Operating modes 4.4.4. K84 Operation (Bistable continuous operation) In K84 mode, the two outputs are alternately switched on and off: When pressing the first button (red) on the command station, the Output Out A is turned on. It remains active until pressing the assigned button (green) activates the output Out B of the same output group. -
Page 9: Alternate Flasher Mode
Operating modes 4.4.5. Alternate flasher mode In this mode, the outputs Out A and Out B of an output pair are switched on alternately with an adjustable flashing frequency. The alternate flasher is started with the command „Straight/Green” of the assigned button and stopped again with the command „Di- verging/Red”. -

For smaller layouts with only a few electric loads turned on at the For larger layouts with many electric loads, we recommend the same time, the SwitchPilot 3 Plus can be supplied directly from the use of an external power supply. DC and AC power supplies are command station or booster. -

Configuration with the programming tack 9. Configuration with the programming track You can write all the CVs of the SwitchPilot 3 Plus decoder and read them subject to the capabilities of the command station. With the ECoS, this is done as follows: In some cases, it may be desirable to change the properties of the SwitchPilot via the programming track of the digital system. -
