DCS Operation

The Mini Commander series of products may be operated with the DCS remote system available from MTH electric Trains.  The "class", or address type, must be set to ENG, with the ID number between 1 and 99.  Furthermore, at this time the configuration of the Mini Commander must be done with the TMCC Cab-1 Remote.  This guide is applicable to version 2.0C firmware.  Previous to 2.0C, the throttle operation is restricted to 100 speed steps.

After configuration, DCS operation is as follows:

AX0

   All outputs are deactivated, then LC1 is activated

AX2

   HC-1 output is activated

AX7

   HC-1 output is activated

AX8

   HC-1 output is activated, LC-2 output Strobe activated

AX9

  HC-1 output is activated, LC-2 output is deactivated

HDLT

  HC-2 output is activated (keypad # 7)

  Keypad # 1 activates LC-2 as a Strobe feature

  Keypad #2 activates LC-1 (LC-1 is active at power on)

  Keypad #5 deactivates LC-1

  Keypad # 3 activates LC-2 as Steady on

  Keypad #6 deactivates LC-2
