INSTALLATION
Take a photo of your loco orignal wiring and identify all the wires. Remove the orignal PCB. Follow
the diagram to install the decoder. Hook up the front headlight to the two center tabs. Hook up the
accessory light to the two edge tabs. There are four pickup tabs for the four pickup wires. Hoop up
the motor wires to motor tabs.
OPERATION
The factory defualt address is #3. The decoder has start up and shut down features. If the loco was
previously 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 double
click F8. You can use doublee click F0 to turn on/off sound
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.
FCC COMPLIANCE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions. (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
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 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.
