victorrichard Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 can any one help on programing a ADS2FX decoder. I put the switch to set then clicked on each button on my railmaster track plan then i moved the switch to run and nothing worked.Previous to this i went into track design gave the point a number and identified that it was a ADS2FX.

Fishmanoz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Victor, on the track output, not the programming output, move the switch on one port to Learn, throw only the point you want it to control by clicking on the point button, put the switch back to Run, and that port should now throw that point when you click on the button again. Does it? Now repeat for the other 7 ports and points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorrichard Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks will try again and let you know how it goesHiSent the decoder back it turned out to be faulty. New one on the way.Can you tell me if I want two points to work to gether I just have to wire both points into the same connections.Do I then set the AD-S2fx to set and flick each point or do I have to do each one on its own then join the wires.Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just wire them together Victor. You will still have to set them up with different point numbers in Layout Design and clicking the point buttons on either will then throw both. If one goes the wrong way for what you need, swap the + and - wires on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one goes the wrong way for what you need, swap the + and - wires on that one.Fishy,If the two points are a crossover, then they should be set up with the SAME point number in layout design, that number being the one for this decoder port. When the decoder learn switch has been set to the learn position, it is only necessary to press EITHER the green or red button of either point configured with that port number. If the two points are at each end of a passing loop, as discussed on another thread, it becomes more complicated. The two points should still be wired into the same decoder port, but extra steps need to be taken to get the blue/grey route indicators to reflect the actual point positions on the layout diagram, and even then Propack may be needed.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
