When I plug in a DT402D throttle to LocoNet using a DCS240 as my Command Station, it flashes the display as normal then fades and continues to reset. Make sure you have a charged battery installed in your DT402D. The DT402D is attempting to power on the RF24 radio in the throttle and register with the UR92. Without a battery it cannot draw enough power from LocoNet to complete this procedure. If you plan to use your DT402D as a tethered throttle it is recommended that you use throttle options to turn off the throttles duplex radio capabilities. Press OPTN ...
Notes on IPL updating DT402 Throttles to R2 DT402 throttles can be updated to R2 using any compatible PC connection, including the DCS240 and PR3. Always make sure you are using the latest version of DigiIPL to update your hardware. When updating DT402D throttles the RF24 module must also be updated to the latest RF24 firmware. After updating the DT402s to R2 it is recommended that you reset the throttle to factory default. If you encounter any issue updating your DT402 throttle, the IPL update process can be repeated to resolve any issues. Occasionally running the update twice or 3 ...
This is a feature that helps prevent having the same address selected on multiple throttles and creating unexpected operations. When you steal you are truly stealing control of the locomotive instead of sharing it. When using a DT402 R2 throttle with an Advanced Command Station featuring expanded slots, each throttle ID is associated with the Loco Addresses it has selected. With a when you select a Loco that is selected on another throttle the second throttle will take ownership of the Loco and it will be deselected from the first throttle. By first throttle will display “StealZap” meaning it has ...
The DCS240 offers 400 locomotive slots and can support up to 400 throttles. These slots can be broken down in to standard slots and expanded slots. There are 120 standard slots in the DCS240, these slots are accessible using any Digitrax throttle. There are an additional 280 expanded slots available to DT402 R2 (tethered and Duplex) and later throttles. The DCS240 identifies the throttle type being used and assigns and adjusts the slots accordingly. Expanded capability throttles are given the Expanded slots first, leaving the standard slots available for legacy throttles. All this is done in the background and will ...
DT402 R2 Release Notes Access to Expanded Slots Updating the DT402 to R2 gives the throttle access to expanded slots in the DCS240 Advanced Command Station. Access to these expanded slots are only available when IR and Radio(RF1) options are set to OFF in your throttle. This means that throttles working in IR mode or Simplex Radio will not have access to the expanded slots. Simplex Radio throttles(DT402R) will have access expanded slots if radio(RF1) is set to off and the throttle is plugged in. It is recommended that throttles be factory reset after upgrading the firmware to R2. By ...
Clarifications of UR93 and DT602D/UT6D Duplex RF and network performance: The new UR93 and DT602D and UT6D throttles employ the new Digitrax designed and manufactured RF28 Modular Certified 2.4GHz transceiver module. The RF28 is configured to interoperate with existing Digitrax Duplex UR92 LocoNet access points and e.g. DT500D and UT4D throttles worldwide. All Duplex units employ IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC compatible devices using 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread- Spectrum (DSSS) modulation. The RF28 was developed for: a) Smaller size. The venerable RF24 could not fit in the small UT6D, and this case was designed in 2017, so a new smaller Duplex support ...
