Safety Selection

With the exception of the DT402D Duplex throttle, while tetherless, the DT400/R & DT300/R operate as a one-way transmitter. The DT400/R & DT300/R must be plugged into LocoNet to select an available locomotive address. After an address is selected on your DT400/R or DT300/R, you can unplug from LocoNet and run the selected addresses with infrared or radio. The throttle will automatically convert to infrared or radio operation for all speed, direction, function, operations mode programming, and switch commands. Digitrax calls this “safety selection.” This is an important operational safety feature. Digitrax chose not to allow one way address selection to prevent multiple operators from being able to select and send commands to the same addresses at the same time. Having multiple operators sending commands to the same address can result in serious problems in an operating session because locos can appear to be out of control.

With the exception of the DT402D Duplex throttle, Digitrax tetherless throttles must be plugged in to LocoNet to program locomotives on the programming track and to set up and break up consists. DT400/R and DT300/R can both be set up to prevent release of loco addresses unless the throttle is plugged in to LocoNet.

Can I add Radio and IR to my Zephyr?

Adding radio and or IR to Zephyr is the same as adding it to Super Empire Builder and Super Chief. Just add the DT402D & UR92 for Duplex Radio operation, or add the DT402R or UT4R & UR91 for Simplex Radio operation. All Digitrax LocoNet Throttles work with Zephyr.
