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
Reset:
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. 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
