Programming DCC Turnouts

[Tfgfran]

Can I use a Digitrax Zephyr to program the Bachmann DCC Turnouts addresses, then operate them during trail opertions?

Yes, you can program the DCC Turn outs wit a Digitrax. It was easy once I found out the secret.

Following are detailed instructions that worked for me.
To Program:
1   Press and hold the program button on the turnout till it toggles.
2   Press the "Switch" key on the Digitrax DCS51.
3   Press the # key you want to assign to the switch.
4   Press the cv-wr key to program. The switch will toggle 4 times to indicate it has been programmed.
To Operate:
1   Press the "Switch" key.
2   Press the # key you assigned to the switch. 2 switches programmed to the same number will work in tandem but must be programmed individually.
3   Press t (cv-rd) or c (cv-wr) key to toggle the switch to Thrown or Closed. For some reason my switch indicator is opposite to the actual position.
4   Your throttle and direction controls will work normally while in Switch mode.
Hope this helps.
