PROGRAMMING
This decoder supports all program modes and read back features.
With MRC
Prodigy Advance DCC you can read its address and CV value.
Printed in USA
SPEED TABLE CV67-CV94 FOR 28 SPEED STEPS
When CV29’s bit 4 is set to “1” it will use the speed table formed by CV67-CV94
to control speed (motor voltage). It allows you to setup each speed for all 28
speed steps. First, program CV29 to 18 for short addresses (1-127) or program
CV29 to 50 for long addresses (128-9999) to enable speed table control. Then set
throttle to 28 speed steps and run your loco at speed step 1. Use program CV on
the main to change CV67’s value (1-255) to adjust step 1’s speed. The kick voltage,
CV65 is only applied when the speed step changes from 0 to 1. You should switch
between 0 to 1 many times to check step 1’s speed. When done with CV67, select
speed step 2 and program CV68. CV68’s value must be greater then CV67’s. When
done with CV67-CV94, use read back CV to make sure their values are in increasing
order.
Note: When using MRC Prodigy Advance DCC to program addresses it will
automatically disable the speed table (set CV29’s bit 4 to “0”). Programming CV125
to 1 will also disable the speed table and re-program CV67-CV94 to a default linear
speed setting.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the loco is runing without sound click F12 to turn on the sound. Whenever
the decoder doesn’t work please use the program track to program CV# 125
with a value of 1 to restore the decoder to the factory settings. This should
bring the decoder to life with address #3.
This decoder should perform well with all
DCC systems. The maximum DCC output should be less than 21 V. If the locomotive
does not respond to commands, it may have lost its address. Please re-program the
address and program CV19 to 0 (disable consist). If it responds too slowly, you
should clear its momentum by reprogramming CV3 and CV4 to zero. If step 1’s
speed is too high, you should program start voltage, CV2 to zero. If its top speed is
too slow, program top voltage CV5 to 31. You should also clean the track to improve
electrical pickup. Read your DCC system manual to learn how to program and
operate the decoder. For more information about registers/CVs and their functions,
please refer to the NMRA DCC Standard & Recommended Practices, RP-9.2.2. This
is available directly from the NMRA or their website at
www.nmra.org
