PROGRAMMING
This decoder supports all program modes and read back features.
With MRC
Prodigy Advance² DCC you can read its address and CV values.
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 select 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 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.
BACK EMF LOAD CONTROL (PID CONTROLLER)
This decoder is equipped with adjustable back EMF closed loop speed control. Its
proportional gain (CV113), integral gain (CV114) and derivative gain (fixed) are pre-
tuned for most locomotives. We recommendend that you do not change these set-
tings. Too much gain may cause the motor to oscilate (become unstable). Too little
gain may cause slow reponse. Please get some basic knowledge of PID feedback
control before trying to adjust CV113/114.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Whenever the decoder doesn’t work please use the program track to program CV#
125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory settings. This should bring the
decoder to life with address #3.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions. (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
