Digitrax Zephyr "Blast Mode"

[Herc Driver]

Please!!! Make sure you see the information posted on that website. There's plenty of information to read over before trying to do this. (Although I did it successfully, I still held my breath when I pushed that last button to enter in the four digit address.) If you mess it up, you can recover from it by doing a reset on the decoder. You have to make SURE there is nothing else connected to the layout that would draw power when you're in this "blast mode" or you'll reprogram everything. I took every engine off the layout and had only the engine I wanted to program and a few cars with plastic wheels.

I hate sending people to other websites, but in this case there are almost a hundred posts about this "blast mode" and it's worth the time to read them yourself to get an idea of people's problems and how this little known feature can help. Go to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://groups.yahoo.com">http://groups.yahoo.com</a><!-- m --> and search for the Digitrax group. You'll find my question there regarding the Nscale Athearn F45 address reprogramming problem...post 148771. That's exactly where I found the information about this "blast mode."

Hope all this helps!
