INSTALLATION:Remove the original circuit board by very carefully removing the
plastic clip and sliding the circuit board out. You must remove the copper contact
strips. Wrap them with tape to prevent them from touching the motor leads as Fig1
shows. Trim off some plastic near to the tape to compensate for the tape thickness.
Bend the four spring pickup contact 45 degrees to provide correct contact force.
Now, slide in the decoder and reistall the plastic clip.Apply tape over the clip and
down the chassis sides to help hold the decoder in place. If you drill a 10mm hole
with 2mm depth on rear chassis underr speaker, the sound vulme will increase by
30%.
DCC OPERATION:N scale should run under 12V.YourDCCtrack voltageshould
neverover14V.Thedecoderhasbeenfactoryprogrammedwithaddress#3,28/128
speedsteps 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. You can use F12 to change prime
mover sound. You use F18 and F19 to change bell and horn type. F14 can increase
mastervolume.F13canreducemaster volume. There are many more program
featuresavailable with this decoder. Please refer to the CV Chart to explore other
featuresofthedecoder.
DC OPERATION: The decoder provides synchronized diesel rumble sound with
DC operation. Bells, horns, etc., cannot be accessed. Use of the MRC BlackBox
will enable the full range of sounds on a DC system.
TROUBLE SHOOTING: Wheneverthedecoderdoesn’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. This decoder should perform well
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.
