Perform the following:
1.
Build the consist using your DCC system per the DCC system's
manufacturer's instructions. In many newer systems you have the ability to tell the
system which engine is reversed. Remember the consist address you told the DCC
system to be built at as you'll need to come back to that address to actually run the
consist. The instructions assume only CV19 gets the consists address and nothing more
2.
Call up the Front engine on your DCC handheld; address 1 in this example
3.
Select CV22 and write a value of 1. This tells the engine that it's a forward
facing engine and that you want F0 to control the FL function at the consist address.
The engine will give you two horn blasts to announce that it received the CV change
4.
Ensure F0 is deactivated at the Front engine's address. Most systems have a
light bulb icon to indicate whether F0 is active or not. Ensure that it is OFF
5.
Call up the Rear engine on your DCC handheld; address 3 in this example
6.
Set CV19 to 128 + the value of your consist address
l
So, if your consist address is 4 you would add 128+4=132.
You would write 132 to CV19. This tells the Rear engine that
it's reversed in the consist. You will get two horn blasts to
announce that it received the CV change. Some DCC systems
may already do this for you but the instructions assume your
system does not. If you are in doubt then go ahead and follow
step 5 as it will do no harm
7.
Set CV22 to a value of 2 to the Rear engine's address to tell the Rear engine
that you want to control its FL control with the F0 button at the consist address. The
engine will give you two horn blasts to announce that it received the CV change
8.
Ensure F0 is deactivated at the Rear engine's address. Most systems have a
light bulb icon to indicate whether F0 is active or not. Ensure that it is OFF
9.
Call up the Middle engine on your DCC handheld; address 2 in this example
10.
Ensure F5 and F0 are toggled OFF. You may have to toggle F5 on/off a
couple times to get the lights in sync with the DCC command station. This will depend
upon your DCC system
11.
Call up the consist address (address 4 in this example)
12.
Press the F0 button to ensure the FL is toggled on. Most systems have a light
bulb icon to indicate whether F0 is active or not. Ensure that it is ON
