Q: Where do I locate UR91 for best performance? A: The UR91 works best in simplex radio mode if it is mounted in a central location on or near the ceiling. A few layout configurations may require a second UR91 for best performance.If the UR91 is also to be used in IR mode, then the recommendations for the UR90 should be followed.
Q: Where do I locate UR90 for best performance? A: Infrared signals are transmitted and received in the line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Most problems with IR reception are caused by people or things blocking this line of sight. UR90 should not be mounted in the layout fascia below track level because that is where we stand when we run trains.UR90 works best when mounted on a wall, opposite the operators, near the ceiling, at a 30° to 45° downward angle. The reason for this positioning is simple. When you are making speed and function changes on ...

Setting Duplex Group Name You can use the DT402D to edit the UR92’s Duplex Group name to one you prefer. Note that this change is optional, and the UR92 factory default will always work out of the box. The Duplex Group Name is stored in non-volatile memory and is remembered even when unpowered or disconnected from your system. You should have all UR92s connected prior to changing the Group name or they will automatically renegotiate and may change the preferred name to a default. 1. Connect the DT402D or DT500D to the front RJ12 jack of any UR92 ...
Troubleshooting Your Installation To get the best performance out of your duplex radio installation, walk around the layout and check Duplex operation to ensure complete signal coverage. Depending on the layout size and geometry and surrounding materials it is often possible to move the UR92(s) to better cover dead-spots. Experimenting with UR92 location usually will quickly provide a position that is best for most layouts. Note that DT402D orientation and your body position may also affect range and reception. On very large layouts or layouts with problem areas, it is possible to add more than one UR92. Adding extra units ...
