SETTING UP MOTOR CONTROL PARAMETERS
This option can be used to setup the various locomotive motor speed control
parameters. You can skip adjusting any of these parameters (CVs) by pressing
ENTER. Press 1 to adjust motor control.

The first adjustment is:
START VOLTAGE (CV2)
Start voltage is the amount of voltage the decoder sends to the motor when a speed
step 1 command is sent to the locomotive. This is some extra voltage to help get the
motor running. You can put in any value from 0-255. If you put in a value of 10 then
10/255 (about 4%) of the full motor voltage will be applied to the motor at speed step
1. In most decoders the start voltage is added to each speed step.

A good way to setup the Start Voltage is to first set your throttle to speed 1 then go
into this Start Voltage programming and try different values until you get the desired
starting speed. This approach can be used with most of the motor speed
adjustments. You may exit programming at any time by pressing PROG/ESC.
MAXIMUM VOLTAGE (CV5)
This is the amount of voltage applied to the motor at full speed. A value of 255 means
send the full available track voltage to the motor. Lower numbers will tell the decoder
to send proportionally less voltage when full speed is called for.

A value of 192 will cut the maximum speed to 192/255 (about 75%) of the track
voltage. Most decoders interpret a value of 0 to mean 255.
MID SPEED VOLTAGE (CV6)
This is the amount of voltage applied to the motor when the middle speed step (14 or
64 depending on speed mode) is requested. A value of 128 means to send about ½
the available track voltage (128/255 of the voltage) to the motor.

Lower or higher values will send proportionally higher or lower voltages at mid-speed.
Most decoders interpret a value of 0 to mean 128.
ACCELERATION (CV3)
With this CV set to 0 the decoder will be in what is commonly called ‘direct drive’. The
decoder will instantly jump to the speed requested by the throttle. You can add
momentum by adjusting this parameter.
