8.2. Support 1. General and Safety Details Congratulations on your purchase of an eMOTION XXL Decoder. The eMOTION XXL Decoder is an exceptional, high-performance Digital Decoder designed for G-Scale by Massoth Elektronik GmbH, Germany. We highly recommend reading this manual and the documentation carefully and thoroughly before operating your eMOTION XXL Decoder.

Functions Outputs A1 to A6 mapped to Function Keys F1 to F6 • CV29 = 4 (to comply with 14 speed steps for MTS) For 28 speed steps, CV29 must be set to “6“. • CV49=2 (only parallel functions. For serial set CV49 to 3) • eMOTION XXL Decoder...
3.2. Function Outputs The eMOTION XXL Decoder is fitted with 6 function outputs. All light outputs are set to 24Volts as default. This means, at 24Volts track voltage the function outputs A1 to A6 deliver 24Volts, if activated. The output voltage as well as the function of the light and function outputs may be set by programming (function key allocation, direction sensitivity, flashing function and short-term function).
A power buffer may be installed to improve the operational reliability. The buffer connects to “Dec+“ and “Dec-“. The charging current must not exceed 500 mAmps. Analog operation must be disabled with a power buffer connected to the eMOTION XXL Decoder otherwise the decoder recognizes the power buffer as an analog power supply (CV29 bit2).

Adjustable with CV2 (Starting Voltage), CV5 (Maximum Speed), CV6 (Mid Speed) Decoders like the eMOTION XXL Decoder feature 3 CVs to define the speed parameters. The basic setting of the eMOTION XXL Decoder is shown in the illustration above. The start voltage (CV2) defines the driving voltage of speed step1. The smaller the voltage the slower the •...

The re-adjustment strength is the maximum allowable voltage to achieve the required speed. The selectable value range is 0…255. The basic setting is “255”, the maximum strength. This means the eMOTION XXL Decoder is allowed to increase the motor voltage up to the track eMOTION XXL Decoder...
3.5. Analog Operation In analog mode the eMOTION XXL Decoder is fully functional with as little as 5Volts of track voltage. The operation in analog mode may be de-activated with CV29–Bit2. The eMOTION XXL Decoder features an internal motor characteristic curve which enables a smooth operation by measuring the track voltage. An analog load control (pat.pend.) may be activated (CV49-Bit2).

4.2. Reset Functions In case the settings of your eMOTION XXL Decoder are messed up or obscure, you may reset the decoder to the manufacturer’s settings by using specific CV values. A distinctive feature of the eMOTION XXL Decoder is that you can reset a specific part of the decoder without changing the remaining parts.
The readout of CV parameters shall not be mistaken for a programming procedure. However, it is essential for checking the programmed settings. The eMOTION XXL Decoder provides this function and the readout can be easily accomplished with a hand held controller. After inserting the desired CV No. the controller will display the value of the respective variable.
In case you use a LGB MTS III central station in connection with a DiMAX Navigator or in case a digital system is used which supports 28 speed steps, the eMOTION XXL Decoder may be set to 28 speed steps by changing CV29 accordingly.
