Information about DCC Operation:
The setting done at the factory does not permit
operation with opposite polarity DC power in the
braking block. If you want this characteristic, you
must do without conventional DC power operation
(CV29 / Bit 2 = 0).
Caution:
On can motors with bell-shaped armatures, we
recommend values of 3 for the motor control variation
and 0 for the pulse width. The warranty will not
cover damages to the motor caused by incorrect
settings.
DCC Operation
Place the locomotive on the programming track
and read out the settings for the decoder. The basic
setting should be 3. Temporarily run the locomotive
with these settings and check out the functions
available on the locomotive. After you have com-
pleted this first testing period, you can adapt the
parameters for the locomotive to your needs.
If the reader unit shows “Lesefehler” (“Reader Error”),
check again to make sure that the locomotive is
properly wired and reread the instructions for making
connections to the programming track. In this situa-
tion do not under any circumstances start running
the locomotive on your layout!
Programming the Locomotive (DCC)
The characteristics of the locomotive for DCC ope-
ration can be changed as often as you like by pro-
gramming the Configurations Variables (CV). The
specifications for programming the CV values can be
found in the instructions for your programming unit.
Important:
If speed levels are programmed in the decoder,
which are different from those in the locomotive
controller, your system may malfunction. The speed
levels in the locomotive controller are not assumed
by the decoder. In this situation, reread the instruc-
tions for your locomotive controller.
