Auto Dispatch Timer

The AD TMR setting determines the amount of time (in seconds) that the

Auto Dispatcher will hold a locomotive in an AD Slot before retiring it from

its assigned sound channel. You can set an auto-dispatch time from 0 to

99 seconds. A setting of 0 disables the feature, keeping the locomotive

dispatched until it is manually removed or power is turned off. The default

value is 10 seconds. The Auto Dispatcher is fully explained in the Auto

Dispatching section beginning on page 3:1.

User Interface Timer

The UI TMR setting controls the amount of time in seconds (default is 10

seconds) that any menu option is displayed before the system automatically

exits to System Monitor mode when there is no user activity (in other words,

when you are not navigating the menus or making any adjustments).

A setting of 0 disables the menu timeout. You will need to manually select the

BACK or EXIT options to change to a different menu. This is useful for new

users who need to refer to the user manual frequently, or when monitoring

one of the DIAGNOSTIC displays. Settings from 5 to 60 cause an automatic

exit after the specified time has elapsed with no activity. (A value of 15 would

take 15 seconds to time out.) Settings from 1 to 4 results in a minimum 5

second timeout.

BDL Set-up/Support

Currently, SurroundTraxx is compatible with Digitrax BDL-168 and BDL-162

transponding block detectors. The block detectors are typically set up using

Digitrax DT-300, DT-400 or DT-401 throttles. If you do not have one of these

throttles, or are not using a Digitrax command station, SurroundTraxx' BDL

Set-up feature will allow you to configure your block detector's address and

ops switches. To proceed, you must first put the BDL-168(162) block detector

into programming mode. Please refer to your BDL owner's manual for details

on this procedure.

Note: If a BDL's address or settings are changed while a locomotive is
