Ajay1 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi I am a newby here and have just recently renewed my interest in model railways again,having had a Marklin set way back in the 60s which I now no longer have and have opted for Hornby. Now I have a small number of trains at the moment one of which is the Hitachi 395 EMU set which has directional running lights. For the life of me I am unable to get these working now (sort off), they were going before. Let me explain: I have a Select unit which when connect to the track and select the 395 the lights work as they should, I also purchased an Elite Digital Controller which had v1.3 firmware installed,when I used that and selected the 395 and pressed the On/Off button on the unit they also worked.I have since updated to the v1.41 firmware and pressing the On/Off button now on the Elite has no effect. Am I doing something wrong here? I have read through the operators manual pgs 20-22 (if they are the right pages) and still can't work it out.I would be greatful if some kind fellow would be able guide be through getting them up and running please step by step .Oh, and sorry for my such longwinded explaination here.

Fishmanoz Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi Ajay, welcome to the forums. Have you downloaded the latest manual from this website to check there has been no change in the way it is supposed to operate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay1 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, I have the latest manual in hand v1.41, I'm sure it must be something simple,function button perhaps. Anyway hopefully someone here may be able to point me in the right direction as to how to turn them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The On/Off buttion on the Elite has nothing to do with lights or even switching the unit. It is used purely for topping up the fuel when using a Sapphire decoder. Its described fully in the Elite manual downloadable from the Hornby website. The v1.41 manual is different in detail from that included with a boxed Elite.To switch the 395 lights on/off - given it has a decoder fitted - you use F0 accessed on the Elite by pressing first the Function button to bring up the various function groups in turn (F00-F09, F10-F19, F20-28, Off F), then pressing the associated number button i.e. 0 is the default for directional lights.
