Vehicles with mfx decoder
Vehicles with mfx decoder cannot be controlled in Motorola or DCC format, although these
formats are entered for them in the locomotive list.

Possible cause: An m3 address was called up (e.g. by accidentally entering a vehicle
decoder address >10,239).
à
Perform a reset on the mc². Should an m3 address be active
on one of the virtual controllers or an EasyControl device, deactivate it before performing
the reset. If you generally do not want to control your mfx locomotives in the m3 format,
you can deactivate this format in the menu item "System / Protocol".
Tractions
The locomotives of a double traction run in opposite directions.

Possible cause: When forming the double traction you did not invert the direction of travel
for one locomotive.
à
Form the double traction again.
8.6. Problems when switching points and other accessories
The turnouts or the accessories cannot be switched.

Possible cause: The data format for the accessory decoder is set incorrectly.
à
Change the
data format.

Possible cause: Accessory decoders for the Motorola format are connected with the wrong
polarity.
à
Check the connections and change the polarity at the track or decoder
connection if necessary.
8.7. Problems with s88 modules
When testing an s88 module all inputs are shown as occupied although they are (partly) free.

Possible cause: The connection to the 6-pole plug of a feedback module is wrongly
polarised.
à
Check whether the 6-pole socket has been plugged in the right way round. If
the connection is made via an s88-N adapter, check whether you have used the correct
adapter or connected the adapter the right way round.
You cannot test all s88 modules although they are connected correctly.

Possible cause: The number of s88 modules is set incorrectly.
à
Check and change the
number of s88 modules. Note: Arithmetically, one s88 feedback has 16 contacts each.
Feedback units with 8 contacts therefore only count as ½ feedback unit.
