4.2. Reset Functions
In case the settings of your eMOTION XXL Decoder are messed up or obscure, you may reset the decoder to
the manufacturer’s settings by using specific CV values. A distinctive feature of the eMOTION XXL Decoder is
that you can reset a specific part of the decoder without changing the remaining parts. The CVs are combined
to function groups and reset as a group. You may reset the basic settings (address, switching speed and
driving characteristics) or the light functions (F-key assignment and brightness) separately. Please find detailed
information about the reset functions of the eMOTION XXL Decoder in the CV-table.

Write the desired reset value into CV7 (software version of the decoder) to reset the decoder settings to the
basic factory settings.

4.3. Address Programming
Each locomotive operated by the NMRA/DCC standard needs a digital address to receive its specific
command.
•
The NMRA standard provides two kinds of addresses:
- Low (short) addresses (1…127)
- High (long) addresses (128…10239)
•
The address must be stored in the decoder to enable the decoder to recognize the commands that are meant
for it.
•
The low address is stored in CV 1. The maximum value is “127”. In addition bit5 in CV 29 must be “off” (value
0).
•
The high address is divided into two values and is stored in CV17 and CV18. In addition bit5 in CV29 must be
set to “on”.
The long address must be calculated as follows:
CV17 = address / 256 (store only the whole-numbered value)
CV18 = address – (CV17 x 256)
In case you want to calculate the locomotive address “3005”, please proceed as follows:
Step 1: 3005 / 256 = 11.74 , so CV17 will be “11”
Step 2: 3005 – (11 x 256) = 3005 – 2816 = “189”
Consequently you have to program CV17 with “11” and CV18 with “189”.
Current digital systems (e.g. the DiMAX-System) offer a comfortable programming method of the addresses. All
CVs including CV29 are being calculated automatically and programmed at the same time when using the
function “Loco Address Programming”. The original address setting of the eMOTION XXL Decoder is “3”. In
case of a decoder reset the address will be reset to this value.
