5.2 Motor
control
The decoder has a high-frequency control (23kHz). To adapt it to the type of locomotive used, you
can choose between six different motor types in CV50. These motor types include parameter sets
which have been specially adapted to the respective models. Moreover, it is possible to carry out
fine-tuning via CV113 or CV114 when selecting motor types 4 or 5. Of course you can switch off
both the high-frequency drive as well as the control system itself. You can still use CV9 to adjust the
repeat rate.
The minimum (CV2), maximum (CV5) and mid (CV6) speed can be set; the decoder automatically
adapts the characteristic speed line dynamically to ensure a steady, smooth curve. Independently of
this, it is also possible to program an individual characteristic speed line.
The decoder still has a so-called EMF switch which makes it possible to adjust the decoder to
different motor types. Depending on the motor type used, it is possible that a digitally controlled
locomotive cannot reach an adequate maximum speed compared to a locomotive in conventional
operation. If this is the case, activate your EMF switch by setting Bit 6 in CV 50. The locomotive will
then reach a higher maximum speed while the minimum speed is also slightly increased.
5.3 Running
notches
The decoder can be operated in the 14/27 or the 28/128 running-notches mode. This setting is
made in CV29.
5.4 Disabling of delay
Use function 4 (ex-works setting, can be altered in CV60) to disable the starting and braking delay
as well as the constant braking distance during operation. The delays are disabled as long as the
function is active.
