PROGRAMMING YOUR E-Z COMMAND® TURNOUTS
Note: To avoid derailments, stop all locomotives on the track before beginning the programming process. Also remove any locomotive with
address 9 from the track.
The factory preset address for all E-Z Command® DCC turnouts is address 3. If you wish to program the DCC turnout to a different
address, the procedure is as follows:
1. Press address 9, then press the FUNCTION button once. The FUNCTION button will turn green, indicating that your
control center is in turnout control mode.
2. To access the programming button on your E-Z Command® Turnout, remove the programming button cover as shown in
figure 1. Use a pen to press the programming button (figure 2) for two seconds. The turnout will toggle twice to indicate that
it is in programming mode.
3. Choose an address from 1 through 8 that you wish to assign to your turnout. Once you have decided on an address, press the
corresponding number button four times. The turnout will toggle four times to indicate that it has been programmed to
this address.
4. If you have entered programming mode and cannot continue the programming process within two minutes, the turnout will
toggle twice to indicate that the programming has been canceled. The turnout will retain its original address.
Note: To cancel the turnout programming process while using your E-Z Command® Plus control center, simply press the STOP button. The
turnout will retain its original address. To exit turnout control mode and return to locomotive control, press the FUNCTION
button once.
DEFAULT TURNOUT POSITION
The default position is the turnout position when the E-Z Command® Plus Control Center is turned on. For all E-Z Command® Turnouts
other than the #5 Wye Turnout (Item No. 44134) the factory-preset default position is the diverging track. For the #5 Wye Turnout, the
factory preset default position is to the right. Please refer to the instructions included with your E-Z Command® turnout for a full list of
default turnout positions.
If you wish to change the default position, the programming procedure is as follows:
1. Press address 9, then press the FUNCTION button once. The FUNCTION button will turn green, indicating that your
control center is in turnout control mode. From here, select the turnout you wish to program by pressing the associated
number button.
