 Press the [Turnout] key in order to confirm selection of the new “base 

address”. The display will now revert to indicate the speed of the 
currently selected locomotive. 

2.3.3 How to change the turnout format (type) 

A DAISY-System can control Motorola (default) or DCC accessory 
decoders. All controlled accessories (turnouts, signals, etc.) must be of 
the same type: either all Motorola or all DCC. A mixed type operation of 
accessory decoders is not possible. 

The format of the accessory decoders can be changed only while the 
DAISY throttle is connected to the “DAISY” connector of a Power2. 

Attention

  It is not possible to edit the turnout format (type) if the DAISY throttle is 

connected as an add-on throttle to a LocoNet Command Station (e.g., 
an Intellibox). 

This is how to proceed: 

 While in turnout mode, press the [Turnout] key. The display will 

display the turnout address controlled by the [f1] key (i.e., the “base 
address”), e.g.: 

W  1

 

 Press the [function] key. The currently selected turnout format (type) 

is displayed, e.g.: 

 Mot

 

 Rotate the encoder to select a different turnout format, e.g.: 

 dcc

 

 Press the [Turnout] key to confirm turnout type selection, or press the 

[function] key to go back to turnout base address selection without 
changing the turnout type. 

Attention

  If an analog locomotive is being controlled through address 0, then 

operating Motorola turnouts or signals will result in the analog 
locomotive performing a short “jump”, possibly in the opposite driving 
direction. This can be avoided by using DCC accessory decoders.
