UT1 & UT2 LocoNet Utility Throttle Manual
Table of Contents (continued)
1.0 UT1 & UT2 Utility Throttle Features & Specifications
· The UT Throttles are "traditional" hand held DCC throttles. The UT
Throttles are laid out with a single knob for speed control and a sim-
ple toggle switch for direction.
· Digitrax LocoNet network forms a simple, reliable interconnect
between all Digitrax Command Control System components using
extremely reliable and convenient gold plated RJ12 6 pin modular
telephone jacks.
· Control up to 98 locomotives (97 DCC & 1 Analog)
· 128 speed step operation!
· Simple locomotive selection using two rotary selectors.
· Control directional lighting & 5 additional function outputs from the
keypad. If you have locomotive equipped with sound, controls for
bell & whistle are on F1 & F2. F2 is a non-latching control that
allows you to sound the horn for as long as the key is held down. F2
can be configured to be non-latching.
· F3 can be configured to be momentary for remote coupler functions,
etc...
· Special "DISPATCH" function to allow consists or 4 digit addresses
to be operated by the UT Throttle.
· "SAFE" mode operation allows smooth pick-up and or release of
trains or locomotives.
· UT1 does not have programming capabilities. UT2 can program
decoder CVs 01-99.
Your success with and enjoyment of our products are very important to
us. After all, this is a hobby and it is FUN!!! Please read this manu-
al carefully before you install your system. We have included lots of
hints and operating ideas based on our experience with the Digitrax
system. If you have questions not covered by this manual please
contact your dealer or Digitrax.
2.0 Using your UT Throttle
For operation, the UT Throttle does not need a battery. The UT Throttle
will remember the last throttle settings after it is unplugged from
LocoNet and will resume when it is plugged back into LocoNet.
Plug the UT Throttle into any LocoNet jack on your LocoNet system
When the UT Throttle is first connected to LocoNet all the LEDs in its
display will blink on and then off again. This means that the throttle
is working and is communicating as it should.

2.1 Turning On Track Power
Turn on the track power by pressing and holding the "RUN/STOP" button, then
simultaneously pressing the "ON/F1" button. The command station will beep
once and the "TRACK STATUS" light on the command station will come on.
2.2 Turning Off Track Power
Turn off the track power by pressing and holding the "RUN/STOP" but-
ton, then simultaneously pressing the "OFF/F2"button. The com-
mand station will beep once and the "TRACK STATUS" light on the
command station will go off.
2.3 Running a Locomotive
Connect your UT Throttle to any LocoNet jack connected to the command
station in your LocoNet system.
2.3.1 Run An Analog Locomotive on Address "00"
The address "00" is reserved for "Analog" locomotives or any locomotive not
equipped with a decoder.
1. Place a non-decoder equipped locomotive on the track. The locomo-
tive will make a "humming noise", this is the normal sound an ana-
log locomotive will make on a DCC layout.
2. Select the two digit address "00" of the analog locomotive you want
to run using the rotary dial selectors on the UT Throttle. The left
rotary dial selects the "tens" and the right rotary dial selects the
"ones".
3. Press "ACQ/DISP" to select locomotive. The "STATUS" INDICA-
TOR should be a steady green to indicate that you now control that
locomotive.
4. If the "STATUS" INDICATOR is off, the locomotive that you tried
to select is already being controlled by another throttle in the system
and is not available.
5. A red "STATUS" INDICATOR indicates that the direction switch is
not set to the same direction as the locomotive you are trying to
select. Reverse the direction toggle switch and the "STATUS" INDI-
CATOR will turn green.
6. Strobing green "Chase Lights" across the top of the keyboard indi-
cate the throttle speed is higher or lower than the locomotive you
are trying to select. If the LEDs are strobing Left to Right, turn the
throttle knob clockwise until the LEDs stop strobing and the "STA-
TUS" INDICATOR turns green. If the LEDs are strobing Right to
Left, turn the throttle knob counter clockwise until the LEDs stop
strobing and the "STATUS" INDICATOR turns green. NOTE: if the
4
"STATUS" INDICATOR is red then change the direction of the tog-
gle switch.
7. Flipping the toggle switch to the left will make the locomotive go
forward. Flipping the toggle to the right will make the locomotive
go in reverse.
8. Turn the throttle knob clockwise to increase speed and counter
clockwise to decrease the speed. The throttle knob can rotate
approximately. 300 degrees from start to stop.
2.3.2 Run A DCC Equipped Locomotive
Connect your UT Throttle to any LocoNet jack on your LocoNet System.
In order to select a DCC locomotive, you must know its address. All
Digitrax decoders are factory programmed to the default 2 digit
short address "03." If your decoder has not been re-programmed
then select "03" as the address.
1. Select the two digit address "03" of the DCC locomotive you want
to run using the rotary selectors on the UT Throttle. The left rotary
selects the "tens" and the right rotary selects the "ones".
2. Press "ACQ/DISP" to select locomotive. The "STATUS" INDICA-
TOR should be a steady green to indicate that you now control that
locomotive.
3. If the "STATUS" Indicator is dark, the locomotive that you tried to
select is already being controlled by another throttle in the system
and is not available.
4. A red "STATUS" INDICATOR indicates that the direction switch is
not set to the same direction as the locomotive you are trying to
select. Reverse the direction toggle switch and the "STATUS" INDI-
CATOR will turn green.
5. Strobing green "Chase Lights" across the top of the keyboard indi-
cate the throttle speed is higher or lower than the locomotive you
are trying to select. If the LEDs are strobing Left to Right, turn the
throttle knob clockwise until the LEDs stop strobing and the "STA-
TUS" INDICATOR turns green. If the LEDs are strobing Right to
Left, turn the throttle knob counter clockwise until the LEDs stop
strobing and the "STATUS" LED turns green. NOTE: if the "STA-
TUS" INDICATOR is red then change the direction of the toggle
switch.
6. Flipping the toggle switch to the right will make the locomotive go
forward. Flipping the toggle to the left will make the locomotive go
in reverse.
7. Turn the throttle knob clockwise to increase speed and counter
clockwise to decrease the speed. The throttle knob can rotate
approximately. 300 degrees from start to stop.
