History
This throttle replaced the DT500 Advanced Super Throttle and the DT402 Super Throttle before that.
Description
The DT602, DT602D, and the DT602DE (referenced as DT602 as all models function the same except for their communication method) is a handheld Advanced LocoNet Throttle from Digitrax. The DT602 can handle nearly every aspect of layout control. For a wireless version, see DT602D or DT602DE for Europe.
All DT602s are factory equipped with infrared capability. When a UR90, UR91, or UR92 LocoNet device is added toe the Digitrax Throttle Network, the DT602's can make use of infrared operations.
Additionally, the DT602Ds are equipped with Duplex Radio and require the use of a UR92 or UR93 to the throttle network if one wishes to use the throttles in wireless duplex radio operations.
The DT602 represents a major departure from previous Digitrax Advanced throttles, with a new design, simpler keyboard, and a larger 2.4" (61mm) color LCD display.
