TROUBLE SHOOTING

l 

Locomotive was running yesterday but today it just sits there - The headlight and

other functions are controllable but it won’t run. - This sometimes happens when you
clear a consist but for some reason the decoder misses the command. Use the DEL
LOCO button to “re-delete” the locomotive. Alternatively use programming on the
main to set CV19 to 0 (same thing as clearing the consist).

l 

Head Light goes on and off as I change speed - You are operating a loco with an

older 14 step decoder in the 28 step mode and the head light is ON only in the even
speed steps.

l 

The programmability of the decoders gives the modeler a lot of flexibility. However,

this can lead to some unpredictable results. Here are a few tips to get you out of
some situations:

l 

Loco won’t respond -

l 

Check that the short/long address bit is set correctly in the CFG variable (CV 29).

l 

The loco might be in a consist - Press DEL LOCO, the locomotive number

then ENTER.

l 

Make sure CV3, 4, 23, 24 are set to a small enough value to allow the loco to

accelerate at a reasonable rate

l 

Loco won’t run on an analog (DC) layout - Check that the DC mode bit is set in

the CFG variable (CV 29).
