INSTALLATION: Disassemble loco andtape the frame aroundthe motor spring
contact as Fig1 indicates. The motor spring contact should not touch the frame.
Thedecoder replaces the original circuit boardof the locomotive and should fitin
the same location.Assemble one half of the frame first, installing the decoder,
motor, driveshafts, bearings, trucks, and frame spacers. Gently place the other
frame half on top of the completed half, checking clearances and if there is any
binding of the drive mechanism. Correct any trouble spots at this point.Also
check to make sure the motor brush tabs are not touching the frame halves and
the clear tape is correctly positioned at the motor brush tab points to avoid
shorting out the decoder. Now you can install the insulated bolts and nuts to
secure both frame halves together.Apply tape on the chassis under the speaker
to prevent the speaker from touching the chassis.
DCC OPERATION:Thedecoder has beenfactory programmed with address #3, 28/
128 speed steps and maximum top voltage. This decoder has start up and shut
down feature. You must 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 3 times. Please refer to the CV Chart to explore other features of the
decoder.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Wheneverthe decoderdoesn’t work,please usethe program
track to program CV# 125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory settings. This
shouldbring thedecoder to life with address#3. This decoder should performwell with
all DCC systems.
RETURN PROCEDURE: This decoder carries a 6 month warranty against factory
defects. This warranty does not include abuse, misuse, neglect, improper
installation, or any modifications made to this decoder, including but not limited to
the removal of the NMRA plug if applicable. If it should become necessary to return
the decoder for warranty repair/replacement, please include a letter with your
name, address, daytime phone number, and a detailed description of the problem
you are experiencing. Please also include a check or a money order for $10.00 to

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.
