7. Programming the function decoder
You can program the integrated function decoder with a digital control
unit.
In DCC format: via configuration variables (CVs) or main track
programming. With DCC control unit allowing only register
programming you can set the register 1 and 5 (corresponding CV#1
and CV#29) only.
In Motorola format: via registers.
Please note: When programming the decoder, there should be
mounted no buffer capacitor or goldcap to E1 or E2, otherwise
problems can occur (e.g. error messages).
Programming with DCC central units
See the chapter in the manual of your central unit where the byte wise
programming of configuration variables (CVs) is explained.
Programming with Motorola central units
Please note: If you use a central unit for both DCC and Motorola format
it is recommended to program the decoder in the DCC format. After
having finished programming the decoder it is possible to control it in
Motorola format as well.
Put the vehicle on a track oval or a track section connected to the
central unit's track output (not to the connection for the programming
track). Make sure no other vehicle than the one you intend to program
is set on the track as the decoder inside this vehicle might be
programmed as well.
During the programming operation the LEDs show, which input the
decoder expects:
LEDs flash
Number of the register to be
programmed
Starting
the programming mode
1. Switch on the central unit or
perform a reset at the central
unit (pushing "stop" and "go").
2. Set the current decoder
address (default value: 3) or the
address "80".
3. Set all functions to "off".
4. Push button "stop"
à switch off the track voltage.
5. Operate the direction switch
and hold it in that position.
Push the button "go" at once.
6. As soon as the LEDs flash,
release the direction switch.
à Programming mode
LEDs stop to flash
Value of the register to be
programmed
Programming the decoder
1. Enter the number of the
register as a Motorola-address.
If necessary: with a leading "0".
2. Operate the direction switch.
à LEDs stop to flash.
3. Enter the value you want to
set into the register
(as Motorola-address).
4. Operate the direction switch.
à LEDs start to flash.
Repeat steps 1 – 4
for all registers.
Push button "stop".
à End of programming mode
