Cab Addresses for NCE
Throttles.
Wireless Throttles
Wireless ProCabs must
be set to cab addresses in the range of
3-17.
Note problem below about Radio Procab addresses.
Wireless Cab04p, Cab04e and Cab05 must be set
to cab addresses in the range of 19-49.
See http://www.mrrc.com.au/sse-003.htm
for details.
Cabs with addresses outside these ranges will not work
wireless.
Wireless Procabs shipped with the default Cab
Address of 2. Should be changed for successful radio
operation. See the note at the above link.
Not sure about Cab04s
default address.
Note: There have been some reported problems with Radio
Procab addresses 2, 7, 8 and 17. This has been rectified with the
new 12/04 EPROM and the Radio Fix selected ON in the Command Station.
With the 2004 EPROM, there
still is the occasional problem with Cab Address “8”, DON’T USE “8” if
possible.
Don’t use these 4 addresses
with the old 2002 EPROM.

Power Cab,
The Power Cab will only work on address 2.
The extra optional
throttle, Procabs or Cab04s, must be set to address “3”.
When the Power Cab is used
as a Procab on the larger Power Pro system, the address can be anywhere in the
non wireless Procab range of 2 to 63. When the Power Cab is plugged back in to
the Power Cab system Power Panel it will automatically go back to address 2 for
Power Cab operation.
Connect the Power Cab back
into the Power Pro system, it remembers the “changed”
address that was done to operate it as a Procab. In my case it remembered the
63 address that I gave to it previously.
So this Power Cab can have a
“permanent” cab address at the Club layout and be on the Cab Address Register
permanently. I would still check it when I plugged in as the cab address come
up briefly on plug in. See below for the Club Register.
Extra notes for Clubs.
Because of the many
throttles that come to a Club, there must be some form of register to keep
control of the addresses.
An easy way is to list all
the cab addresses 1 through to 63 and each member puts his name against the
number he uses. This register can be just a sheet of paper or similar, that is
located at a convenient location, say next to the entrance door. When a new
member comes along, he scans the register sheet and he can ONLY use an
un-allocated address. He them marks his name against this address.
The club should make one or
two addresses available for casuals or visitors. These numbers are only for
them and no members should use these. This allows for continuing use of these
numbers.
