PROGRAMMING CV CHART
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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Loco running without any sound press F12, no chuff sound, press F6.
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 decoder should
perform well with all DCC systems. The maximum DCC output should be less than
18 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 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.
