Address Settings

9. Address Settings
Each LokSound decoder requires a definite address to be address-
able for the central unit. Depending on the type of decoder and
the digital system, there are several possibilities how to allocate
addresses.

9.1. Short Addresses in DCC Mode

Normally you would control LokSound decoders with the short
address that is stored in CV 1. In DCC mode, the permitted values
range from 1 to 127. In order to enable the decoder to „listen" to
the short address you must delete bit 5 in CV 29.
Some digital systems (e.g. ROCO® Lokmouse2, Lenz® digital plus,
Lenz® compact) only support the values 1 – 99 as short address.

9.2. Long Addresses in DCC Mode

You can operate LokSound decoders also with long addresses
(4-digit addresses). The supported values range from 128 – 10239.
The long address is stored in the CVs 17 and 18. You must activate
the long address by setting bit 5 in CV 29.
Bit 5 in CV 29 switches between short and long address. The de-
coder can only respond to one address at a time.
If you want to use your LokSound with the long address it is
practical to program this address directly with your digital system:
most modern digital systems (e.g. ESU ECoS, Bachmann E-Z Com-
mand® Dynamis®) have a menu for programming long addresses.
The command station not only programs CV 29 correctly but also
assures the correct storage of the values for the long address in
CV 17 and 18.
If you want to enter the long address manually in CV 17 and 18
please refer to chapter 22.1.
9.3. Motorola® Address
You can also operate many LokSound decoders with the Mo-
torola® format. The address for this operating mode is stored in
CV 1.
LokSound V4.0
LokSound micro V4.0
This address is identical to the short address in DCC mode as de-
scribed in chapter 9.1. The LokSound decoder responds both to
commands in DCC and in Motorola® mode at the same time. The
permitted values are listed in chapter 7.2.2.2.
Märklin® digital devices (6020, 6021, Delta®) can only work with
addresses from 1 to 80. Should you have entered a higher value
in CV 1 you will not be able to drive this locomotive with these
central units.
