Operating modes

Bit 0 - DC analog 0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Bit 2 – DCC NOT deactivatable 1 = enabled
Bit 4 – AC analog 0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Bit 5 – MM 0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Bit 6 – mfx 0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Programming CV #12 = 0 (all bits 0) is NOT executed
(because the decoder would get un-addressable)

BRAKING MODES:
Position-dependent
Stopping
(“before a red signal”)
or driving slowly
by
“asymmetrical DCC sig-
nal“ (“Lenz ABC“)
See chapter
“3.10 Stop in front of a
red signal and driving
slowly by “asymmetrical
DCC-Signal” stops
(Lenz ABC)... “
or “ZIMO HLU”
(see chapter “3.9 ZIMO
“signal-controlled speed
influence” (HLU)”)
Automatic stopping
by DC brake section
(“Märklin brake section”)
see chapter
“3.11 DC Brake Sec-
tions, “Märklin brake
mode””
0 =
ABC not
active,
HLU
active,
other
brake
sections
not active
Bit 0 and Bit 1 = 0: ABC not activated; no stopping
Bit 0 = 1: Stops are initiated if the voltage in the right
rail (in direction of travel) is higher than in the left rail.
This (CV #27 = 1) is the usual ABC application)
Bit 1 = 1: ABC stops are initiated if the voltage in the left
rail (in direction of travel) is higher than in the right rail.
If Bit 0 or Bit 1 =1 (only one of the two bits is set):
Stopping is directional, i.e. only in direction of travel to
the signal, travelling in opposite direction has no effect.
Bit 0 and Bit 1 = 1: Stops are independent of direction
of travel. See chapter “3.10 Stop in front of a red
signal and driving slowly by “asymmetrical DCC-
Signal” stops (Lenz ABC)…”
Bit 4 - DC braking section, if polarity is reversed
0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Bit 5 - DC braking section, if polarity
is equal to direction of travel
0 = disabled 1 = enabled
Bit 4 and Bit 5 = 1: stopping when
DC voltage (e.g. by a diode) independent
of the polarity (“Märklin brake section”)

Bit 2 - automatic change to analog operation

Bit 3 - RailCom („bi-directional communication“)
0 = deactivated 1 = activated
Bit 4 - Individual speed table:
0 = off, CVs #2, #5 and #6 are active.
1 = on, according to CVs #67 – #94
Bit 5 - Decoder address:
0 = primary address as per CV #1
1 = ext. address as per CVs #17 & #18
#153
Time limit of the continu-
ation without rail signal
0 - 255
0
= 0 (default): Drive on while energy is available
= 1 - 255 (tenths of a sec.): Stopping time if no rail sig-
nal, although power is coming from energy storage.

The decoder ID (serial number) is automatically en-
tered during production: The first byte and half of the
second byte denotes the decoder type; the rest con-
tain a serial number.
The decoder ID is primarily used for automatic ad-
dress assignment when an engine is placed on the
layout track as well as in combination with the “load
code” for “coded” sound projects (see CVs #260 -
#263).

“Load code”
for
“coded” sound projects
-
-
New ZIMO sound decoders can be ordered for an
additional small fee with a “load code” pre-installed,
which entitles the user to install “coded” sound pro-
jects of a selected sound bundle. The load code can
also be purchased and installed by the user at a later
date: see www.zimo.at.
NOTE: The default values on sound decoders are overwritten by the loaded sound project. The
program ZSP (ZIMO Sound Programmer), however, provides the here defined default values, in
case the values set by the sound project are not wanted. During updates, differences between ZSP
and the default values given here can occur.
