protection
SILVER decoders are protected against short circuits.
When the decoder is activated (i.e. the track voltage is switched
on), a check for short-circuits will be carried out. If the decoder
detects a short-circuit, the affected output will not be activated.
If the decoder detects a short-circuit at the motor output, the
lighting will start flashing.
In case of a fault, a corresponding bit is set in CV30 which will
inform you about the type of fault which has occurred. This bit
can be deleted via programming; it will be reset if another fault
occurs.
