10 There is another command station on the system. The DCS240 will beep ten times and cut track power. The DCS240 actively scans the LocoNet looking for command stations every two minutes, and if it finds one, will beep and cut track power. Track power cannot be restored until the offending command station is disconnected from LocoNet or switched back to Booster Mode. This feature is useful on large modular layouts.
