The typical value is 2-4 with the maximum practical value of about 6. The smaller the
number the more often the motor gets a brief voltage kick. A value of 0 turns off the kick.
A value of 1 gives continuous kicks to the motor (not very useful). When using Torque
Compensation set the Start Voltage to 0 for best operation.
NCE TORQUE COMPENSATION KICK DEPTH (CV117)
This is how hard the motor is kicked at low speed. Typical values range from 1 to 40.
High quality motors (Kato) need very little kick strength where lower quality motors such
as old Athearn and LifeLike need relatively large values (30-50) for slow speed crawling,

Tips for setting up T/C (Torque Compensation):
·Start by setting the locomotive speed to 1 on your throttle.
·Set the Kick Rate to 4.
·Set the Kick Depth to 20 then adjust this value up or down until the locomotive just
barely crawls.
It may be easier to set the T/C with the body shell removed from the locomotive so that
you can see the flywheels turn. When you get fairly good slow speed operation go back
to the Kick Rate and try bumping the value up by 1 or 2 to see if the operation improves.
DECODER OUTPUT/FUNCTION MAPPING
(Option 5)
General Discussion of function mapping
Function mapping is used to customize which lighting outputs (or sound effects) are
controlled by which function keys on your handheld throttle. Each function command, F0
through F12, is assigned a unique CV that allows the corresponding function command
to be redirected to up to 14 different lighting outputs or sound effects.
A single function key can control more than one output if desired.
It is also possible for one output to be controlled by multiple function keys. In this case,
the output will be turned on when any of the corresponding function keys are active.
That output will turn off only when all relevant inputs have also been turned off.
Note that all function commands cannot be mapped to all outputs. The LCD display on
your ProCab will indicate only those outputs that can be mapped to each function
command.
The F0 function has two CVs - one for forward direction and one for reverse. Function
outputs mapped to these CVs will be directional unless the same output is mapped to
both CVs. CVs 33 and 34 are both for the F0 function.
On NCE decoders CV33 and CV34 do not provide directionality (see SETUP NCE
LIGHTING EFFECTS below) but otherwise operate the same as above. With NCE
decoders direction of operation for function outputs is provided by the lighting effects
CVs 120 through 127.
Lenz and TCS decoders do not follow NMRA standard function mapping procedures.
When you select function mapping you are prompted for the function number to map.
