UWT-50 - Change Speed

Change Speed

To adjust the speed of the active locomotive, turn the thumbwheel to the right to increase speed, and to the left to decrease the speed. On UWT-50P models, the knob will have a hard stop at 0 speed and full speed (126). The UWT-50E will rotate continuously. On the UWT-50E, the speed will increase or decrease at a faster rate depending on how quickly you rotate the knob.

By default, pressing in on the knob on a UWT-50E will set the speed to 0. The encoder button is also programmable in addition to the other 8 softkeys, and can be assigned any other function. You can make this change via the “Change Buttons” menu. Refer to the Programmable Buttons section in this guide for more information.

The throttle will always display 128 speed step mode but can still control locomotives operating in 28 or 14 speed step mode.
