Title: DCC Switching
Post by: JAS on January 18, 2008, 12:56:34 PM
Hello,
I'm considring buying the new Bachmann EZ-Track DCC switches such as the #44131 switch.
The problem is that there isn't any information on your website that describes how  these switches work.
How are the switches addressed, and switched?
Thanks!

Hey Bach Man--

How are you doing  Bach Man?  I met you at the WGH at Del Mar.  Thank you for taking the time to talk to me.  Anyway, I also am anxiously awaiting your DCC switches.

Any idea when we will get more information, per JAS requests? 

Thank you,

Steve

Dear Jas,
There is a set button in the roadbed of the switch. Presumably the exct procedure is dependent on your control system. The instructions come eith each turnout.
Have fun!

I have read elsewhere on this board that the Loco ID 9 is the address. I presume that the imbedded "set button" specifies switch #1 to 8.
Is this correct?

Thanks.

That's correct.
