INSTALLATION
Thisdecoderwillvirtually“drop-in”toaLife-LikeCLiner N scale diesel locomotive.
Pleasefollow instructions carefully. Removethelocomotive body following the
instructions.Remove the original circuit board, and head light assembly.Then, using
electrical or equiv plastic tape, carefully tape the chassis in the areas as indicated
(See Fig 1) to isolate the decoder from the chassis. This must be done to prevent
damage to the decoder. Gently bend the 2 sets of motorbrush contact pins on the
decoder outward and slide the decoder into the chassis as in Fig 2. Then use a
hobbyknife or equivalent to spread the pins around the motor brushthemotor
contact plates, Fig 3).
DCCOPERATION
The decoder has startup and shutdown features. Ifthe loco waspreviously shut
down you have to start up the engine. Press any function key to start up the engine
before operating the loco. To shut down the engine you must bring the loco to idle
and then press F8 three times. Double click F0 will turn on/off sound (CV49).You
can’t turn off horn which is always on. The decoder has four types of diesel prime
movers, plus off.You can use F12 to select this feature or use CV 123. You can use
F19 to select 34 different horn sounds and use F18 to select 8 different bell sounds.
The decoder default is set to automatic notch. You can program CV122 to 3
formanual notch for realistic operation.And then use F9 to notch up and use F8 to
notchdown.There are manymoreprogram features availablewiththis decoder.
Pleaserefer to the CV Chart to explore other features of the decoder.

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.
