DR5000 not recognizing loco on programming track

St Paddy #197 I'm having trouble with the programming track output on my DR5000. When not in programming mode I can drive a loco on a track connected to that output so I know all the connections are good but in programming mode it just shows No Load. ? Am I missing something obvious? ? Andi
Dennis Cherry All Messages By This Member #198 You have 2 track outputs on the DR5000. The one in the middle is the power to run your trains it is marked 'TRACK OUPTUT', it will not read CV's but can program a CV using the POM function. The Track output just to the left of the power connector "Prog Track' is for reading and writing CV values, this is where you should have a piece of track connected just for that purpose. When you are not programming on the 'Prog Track' reverts to a normal section of track so you can check out your changes. Dennis

Put lower voltage and it will work. James toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 17 Feb 2020, at 20:01, St Paddy <andi@...> wrote: ?

St Paddy #200 开云体育 Hi James, Thanks for a quick and accurate response :) Is that mentioned in the user manual anywhere? I hadn’t noticed it. Problem solved though. Thanks again Andi ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] on behalf of James <james@...> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 8:13 pm To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Digikeijs], JMRI, Rocrail, Itrain, Walthers, Tortise, Cobalt, Switch Machine, Roco, Throttle DR5000 not recognising loco on programming track ?
