Presets

 

A special feature of the DR4018 module is the ability to program the module, for example for a signal module, in 
one action without having to manually set up dozens of CVs . This section of the manual describes in detail which 
presets are possible with corresponding connection examples. 
 
 

Important: 

The module reads any preset in CV47 during startup. After the automatic adjustment of the module 

CV47 will be empty again. For this reason CV47 should not be read to see which preset is selected. 
 
 

PRESET 0 - POINTS DECODER 

(standard factory setting)

 

All DR4018 modules are set up with PRESET 1 as standard, meaning the decoder uses 8 switching addresses and 
gives you the ability to switch 8 sets of points.

PRESET 1 - SWITCH DECODER 

This preset makes the module a 16-channel switch decoder and assigns every output its own address. 
Each output can be switched individually allowing you, for example, to control the lighting on your model railway.
