Possible DCC Settings
– Short / Long Address 01 ... 127 (03)
01 ... 9999
– 14 / 28 (128) Speed Levels (28/128)
– Acceleration 1 ... 127 (3)
– Braking 1 ... 127 (3)
– Maximum Speed 1 ... 7 (5)
– IPulse Width (Duration) 0 ... 3 (1)
– Variations in Motor Control 0 ... 3 (2)
– Swapping Connections 0 ... 7 (0)
– The assignment of the function outputs Aux2
and Aux3 corresponds to the possibilities of
the controller being used (CV 34 and 35).
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 opera
-
tion (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 locomo
-
tive 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 locomo
-
tive is properly wired and reread the instructions for
making connections to the programming track. In
this situation do not under any circumstances start
running the locomotive on your layout!
Programming the Locomotive (DCC)
The characteristics of the locomotive for DCC
operation can be changed as often as you like by
programming 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 controller cannot be taken from the
decoder automatically. In this situation, reread the
instructions for your locomotive controller.
