- Сыноо: After assigning the address, exit programming mode and test the turnout operation by sending commands from your command station to the assigned address.
Controlling Turnouts:
To change the position of a turnout connected to the decoder:
- Select the assigned accessory address on your digital command station.
- Send the "throw" or "close" command (often represented by 'T' or 'C', or a specific button) to change the turnout's position. The turnout motor will activate, and the points will move.
- Observe the turnout to ensure it moves to the desired position.
