To set the direction flag of an automatic block towards you, press EaGT together with the block direction button (EaT). When successful, the block direction will change and is reflected in the arrow indicators.

Note that you can '''only''' change the direction '''towards''' your own area. Unless you have both stations at the extremities of the open line on your own panel.
If you want to change the direction '''outwards''' of your own area, you must contact your neighbour by phone or via [[ZNP801]] to offer the train. Only your neighbour can change the direction to himself.

The direction towards your own PSB can be pre-set even though the track towards the neighbour is still occupied. This done by pressing EaGT together with the block direction button (EaT). The dirction flag towards the own PSB will blink white now. Once the track is cleared, the direction is changed. Pre-setting the direction can be cancelled by using the [[Direction Revoke Button (Sp Dr S 600)|EaLT]] button together with the block direction button.
