Setting Base3 & Cab2 channel number
When you are operating in a club environment or a display
environment with two or more Railroads in operation in close proximity there
will be communication problems if both Railroads are using the same channel on
their respective Command Bases. You must change one of the Command Bases to a
new channel and then match the Cab2 remote you wish to use to that channel.
TO LEARN THE CHANNEL OF YOUR BASE3:
Press the “Remote Channel” button on the front of
your Base3. Watch the Base3 yellow light bar blinking
Observe and note the number of repetitions
That number is the channel of your Base3
TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL OF YOUR BASE3:
Press the “Remote Channel” button on the front of
your Base3 again. Each time you press the button the Base3’s channel will
change. The channel can be between 1 and 9.
Watch the Base3 yellow light bar blinking
Observe and note the number of repetitions
That number is the new channel of your Command Base
Repeat to change the channel of your Command Base again.
Your Cab-2 remote must be set to the same channel as your
Base3 to operate with it.
TO MATCH THE CHANNEL OF YOUR CAB2 AND BASE3:
Press the CTC button
Scroll to channel select
Using the Touch-Screen numbers, enter the channel of your
Base3 (the same number you located by watching the Base3’s yellow light)
The system operates on the same frequencies as many other
common wireless devices. If you experience signal quality issues, or lack of
range between the Cab2 and Base3, you may need to change channels to resolve
the issue.
BASE COMMUNICATION
Two command base units cannot exist on the same channel. If
two bases in close proximity are set to the same channel, range and reliability
will be compromised.
RADIO LINK WARNING LIGHT
If you are operating the Cab2 out of range of the Base3, a
red Radio Link Warning Light will flash on your remote. If the Radio Link
Warning Light triggers at close range, it is a good indication that the channel
frequency is experiencing signal quality issues. Try to find the best channel
for your environment. A clean channel can extend range greatly and ensure
reliability.
INTERFERENCE FROM CAMERAS
Popular wireless cameras used in the railroad hobby use
channel 1-4. Setting the Base3 channel at 5 or above will correct the problem.
