When using "old" transformers (AC output), malfunc2ons may occur during opera2on under certain circumstances. When using a transformer, it must also be noted that the output voltage of the transformer must be mul2plied by 1.4 and therefore a higher voltage is applied to the output of the DR4018 than to the input (power).

Page 6 In addi2on, a resistor (150-270 Ohm) should be connected to "C" and terminal 1 of Out 1, otherwise no read conﬁrma2on can be detected by the cen- tral unit. POM programming is always possible on the main track.  No changes to the DR4018 connec2ons are necessary for POM programming.  CV readout via POM or Railcom® is not possible. ...
Page 7 The turnout addresses are always assigned by a turnout command!!! Make sure the DR4018 is powered from the decoder's power connector. It is best to use a switching power supply with at least 12V DC output voltage and 3A output power. The signal connec(on of the decoder must be connected to the main track output of your control panel! Call up the desired magne2c ar2cle address which the DR4018 is to receive as the start address at the central unit, handset controller, app, etc.
Page 8 (For further informa on on CV byte or CV bit programming, please refer to the opera ng instruc ons of your control panel) Now the desired CV value can be wri3en to the DR4018 with the respec2ve func2on Write POM of the central, app or handset controller.
Page 9 Please note that reading out and programming the DR4018 via the programming track only works if the central unit does not switch oﬀ the programming track! Therefore, before a>emp(ng programming, check that the green LED next to the power connector is lit. Only if this is the case can the DR4018 be successfully programmed as described in this sec(on.
Page 10 Switch the func2on F0 (light) on and oﬀ again to ac2vate the locomo2ve in the control panel. Press the programming bu3on on the DR4018. The red LED now lights up con2nuously and indicates that the DR4018 is in "programming mode".
Page 11 Wait approx. 30 seconds before powering the DR4018 again and restoring the siding. The DR4018 is now reset to factory se@ngs. The POM address was reset to 9999 again and the DR4018 has the magne2c ar2cle address 1 again. By switching the magne2c ar2cle address 1 it can be checked whether the RESET was successful.
Page 12 DR4018 indicates whether the programming track always outputs voltage. If this does not light up con(nuously, the programming track is switched oﬀ. This leads to the DR4018 requiring a diﬀerent programming or reseEng procedure than usual.
Page 13 This is absolutely necessary to successfully complete the RESET. AKer approx. 30 seconds the desired connec2on can be restored. The DR4018 is now reset to factory se@ngs. The POM address was reset to 9999 again and the DR4018 has the magne2c ar2cle address 1 again. By switching the magne2c ar2cle address 1 it can be checked whether the RESET was successful.

Page 34 7.1 Vector groups Func(on mapping The following table shows how you can link the various outputs of the DR4018 module (1-16) with the turnout control panel of your control panel. This can be useful if you want to switch several outputs simultaneously via one key.
Page 35 IThis table shows how the diﬀerent signal numbers (CV 131-134) are connected to output groups. It may be necessary to change this se@ng if you want to control turnouts and signals with the same DR4018. These CVs usually contain the value 0.
Page 36 DR4018 Switching decoder 22.01.2019 7.4 Signal pa>erns of the integrated signal decoders (CV131-134) The integrated signal decoder always uses a group of 4 addresses per signal. The combina2on of the ﬁrst three addresses results in the signal pa3ern. In order to be able to call up the respec2ve signal pa3ern, the ﬁrst three addresses must therefore always be connected together.
