6.5 Adjusting the motor characteristic (EMF switch)
The LE1835 has a so-called EMF switch which facilitates the adjusting of the decoder to different
motor types. Depending on the type of motor used, it may happen that a digitally controlled
locomotive cannot reach the sufficient maximum speed compared to a locomotive in conventional
operation. If this is the case, activate your EMF switch by setting Bit 4 in CV 50. The locomotive will
then reach a higher maximum speed while the minimum speed is also slightly increased.
You will find further possibilities for adapting the decoder to the vehicle used in CV2 and CV53. By
altering the values in these CVs, you can influence the control to achieve smooth and even running
of the vehicle.
7 Programming the decoder.
The locomotive address, acceleration and deceleration delay, and all other features of the
locomotive decoder can be changed as often as desired by reprogramming. The features are
"stored" permanently in special locations even when the operational voltage is switched off. These
locations are called "configuration variables" or simply CV. The configuration of the values is done
electronically, which means that it is not necessary to open the locomotive again after the decoder
has been installed.
To program the locomotive decoder you need one of the following Digital plus systems:
LZ100 / LZV100 (with manual controls or the interface); SET02; compact. For detailed instructions
on how to program using the devices mentioned, please refer to the operating instructions which
accompany those devices.
On delivery the decoder is programmed for operating with address 3, 28 running notches. The
decoder can be used immediately on purchase with these basic configurations. All configurations
can, of course, be changed.
