train.
Example:
CV #116 = 61: Loco uncouples and drives away
from train for 2 seconds at speed step 4.
CV #116 = 155: Loco pushes against train first to un-
load couplers, uncouples and then drives away from
the train for 1 second at speed step 20.
The “Massoth – Coupler“ (since Fall 2012)
This coupler comes with a 3 stranded color coded connecting wire:
Red: Connect to a “common positive” pin with full track power
Brown: Connect to any function output
Black: Connect to a
“GROUND” pin
The hook of the Massoth coupler is moved by a motor and does not require a time limit as
does the Krois coupler for example, and therefore does not need to be programmed with an
“uncoupler” function effect nor does it need to be protected with a maximum ON-time through
CV #115.
There are however two reasons to use the “uncoupler” function effect anyway (value “48”, see
description about “System Krois” above):
-
To protect the coupler hook from possible damage if inadvertently left in the low position
while driving
-
If the “coupler waltz” is to be used: in this case, in addition to the effect (“48”) assignment
for the function output concerned, CV #115 also needs to be set
(because the default
value "0" would mean a time limit of 0 sec (i.e., set it to "50" for a 5-second time limit or =
"99" for 9 seconds with 90% hold voltage; (90
% (“9”) when the time limit is to be avoided
altogether) as well as CV #116 for the desired requirements (see above).
