TROUBLE SHOOTING
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 to 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
. 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The MRC 1663 HO gauge synchronized diesel sound decoder should perform
well when used with other brand command systems. See your DCC command
stations manual to learn how to program and operate the decoder. For more
information about register/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.
