OR use Both the IR Remote and the Throttle controls at the same time. This is deal for running trains where you want to continuously change train speeds by adjusting the speed crank or pushing the IR Remote ▲▼ buttons. See quick start guide above for train operation.
Moving Voltage and Current Display Screen (#3):
Short press the green button on the center of the digital potentiometer speed crank to pause/start curve writing. The voltage and current display over time is perfect for trouble shooting layout track power problems, locos issues like motor and gear train health, or intermittent shorts due to locos shorting track current due to track or locomotive issues
The moving display graph is is also useful for displaying current loading of train and locomotive buffers quickly suck up current when track power is turned on. You can easily see the spike and duration of current over time and it’s effect on actual track voltage.
Memory Parameter Setting Interface Screen (#4):
- This screen is used to review and change your preference for the 10 memory settings.

How to hookup and use the SL Digi Throttle Sets:
Get precision control of your analog trains with this ready to run set
Follow the Quick Setup Guide printed on the rear top of the 8 amp throttle:
Use these instructions for setup on any digi throttle set:
1) Plug the power supply output cable to the throttle's input jack
2) Connect track wires to the throttle's output 5 way binding posts.
3) Connect AC Power: The SL Digital Throttle comes preset for running G Scale Trains using memory setting M1. See instructions or tutorial for setting up other memory locations for different Gauge Trains with your choice of maximum voltage, current or wattage allowed.
(Piko quick connect power track clips show above are optional) The binding posts work with up to 12AWG size cable. Choose cable size depending on your cable length;: use 18AWG cable for up to 10 feet, use 16 AWG for 10 to 30 feet and 14AWG cable up to 100 feet and over 100 feet use 12AWG cable (all available at our store) The larger the cable the lower the power loss.4) Push the Power ON/OFF button to connect the output power and the Forward or I button to set the direction and you are ready to run.
5) With the 8 amp you can use the IR remote control (see quick start guide above) or run from the throttle by tapping the blue button 3 times for medium momentum, with the 5 amp throttle push the V button and tap the blue button 2 times, then rotate the speed knob clockwise for faster speeds, counter clockwise for slower speeds and stop.
HINT: Use the IR remote when you want to 'lock' the throttle in train speed control. Once it is 'locked', you can use either the crank or the up/down blue buttons to change speed. To 'unlock' and Exit the speed mode do one of the following: Push the OK button on the IR Controller or push the blue button on the digi pot for 2 seconds. See the Quick Start Guide below and printed on the top of the 8 amp throttles.
To change the momentum and accuracy of track voltage push the blue button at the center of the rotary control to cycle through your choice of 1V, 1/10V and 1/100V steps. With the 8 amp throttle you can use the IR remote to change both the speed and the number of speed steps (see step 7 and 8 of the Quick Start Guide above)
