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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This decoder should perform well with all DCC systems. The maximum DCC
output should be less than 15 V. If the locomotive does not respond to com-
mands, it may have lost its address. Please reprogram the address and program
CV19 to 0 (disable consist). If it responds 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
NMRADCC 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.

Prime movers and their application
Suitable for the locomotive
RS-3, PA1, PB1
INSTALLATION
If your loco has an NMRA DCC 8 pin or 9 pin JST socket, all you need to
do is remove the dummy plug and plug in the decoder. If the loco travels
in wrong direction you should change the 8 pin plug orientation. If your
locomotive is not DCC ready and does not have a decoder plug, use the
following directions:
The decoder will be inserted between the wheel pickups and the motor
as shown in Figure1. Cut off the 8 pin plug on the decoder. After discon-
necting the motor terminals from the pickups, connect the right side
pickup wires to the red decoder wire, and connect the left side pickup
wires to the black wire. Connect the right motor terminal to the orange
wire, then connect the left motor terminal to the grey wire. Always use
good soldering techniques, and use shrink wrap to isolate the connec-
tions. The white wire is for the front headlight and the yellow wire is for
the rear light. The brown and green wires are for your accessory lights.
The blue wire is the common wire for all four lights.
DCCOPERATIONONLY
The decoder has been factory programmed with address #3, 28/128
speed steps and maximum top voltage. Select the “Run” mode of your
DCC system and select or acquire address #3. Move up the throttle and
the loco should move.
The decoder has a start up and shut down feature. If the loco has been
previously shut down, you have to start up the engine by simply pressing
any numbered function button. To shut down the engine you must bring
the loco to idle and then press F8 three times.
This decoder has 4 different horns. You can use F19 or program CV50 to
select these 4 horns. You can also use F18 or program CV52 to select
different 2 bell sounds.
Most of the sounds have their own volume control CV. There is also a
master sound volume control CV49. Also F13 will reduce the master
volume by 1 (you will hear an air release when you reach CV49=1).
Pressing F14 will increase volume by 1 (you will hear an air release
when you reach CV49=16).
You can use F12 to turn on or turn off the sound.
The decoder is default to automatic notching. You can program CV122
to 3 to set manual notching for realistic operation. Then use F9 to notch
up and use F8 to notch down. This simulates the way a real locomotive
operates.
This decoder is equipped with adjustable back EMF closed loop speed con-
trol. Its proportional gain (CV113), integral gain (CV114) and derivative gain
(fixed) are pre-tuned for most locomotives. We recommend that you do not
change these settings. Too much gain may cause the motor to oscilate (be-
come unstable). Too little gain may cause slow response. Please get some
basic knowledge of PID feedback control before trying to adjust CV113/114.
To turn off Back EMF control program CV124 to 0, [factory default].
There are many more program features available with this decoder. Please
refer to the CV Chart to explore other features of the decoder.
Note:Bell,Dynamic Brake and Rail WheelClackcannotplay at the same
time. If you activate the Bell sound [F1], while either the Dynamic Brake or
Rail Wheel Clack sounds are activated, the Bell sound will override the
other 2 sounds. Rail Wheel Clack cannot play while the loco is in idle.
When you turn off Dynamic Brake and Rail Wheel Clack sound there will
be one second delay.
LIGHTEFFECT PROGRAMMING CHARTFORCV #118/119
You would program CV #118/119 to choose the desired light effect.
CV118 for ACC1 and CV119 for ACC2. For ditch light both CV118 and
CV119 must to 0. F3 controls both ACC1 and ACC2. Use the brown and
green wires for the accessory light functions, along with the blue,
(common), wire.
Use DCC rated bulbs for both the directional headlights and accessory
lights.
If using 1.5 volt bulbs or LED’s use a 1K to 3K ohm resistor in series with
one of the leads.
