The right throttle knob on my Digitrax DT 400 throttle no longer responds properly. It's most noticible when turning the knob counterclockwise and instead of a straight-line sequence the readout might run 30-29-28-27-26-25-24-36-34-33-32-44-40-39-27-36-35 and so forth. It also happens when increasing speed but not so noticibly.

Is this something that I can reprogram or do I need to send my throttle to Digitrax for service?

Sounds like a service issue to me, you're working a variable resistor, and anything mechanical can develop problems which affect its electrical performance. http://www.digitrax.com/kb/ is their tech support page, a good place to start.


Well, except that the DT400 uses encoders instead of pots, I agree that it's a problem with your right encoder.

I'd call Digitrax first to confirm it's there's no way to "reset" it, but it sounds like a trip to Norcross is in order.
