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
Range Default
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
1-127 3
1. Use program CV on the main to change CV67's value (1-255) to adjust step
0-32 0
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
0-32 0
step 1's speed. When done with CV67, select speed step 2 and program
0-32 0
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.
0-32 32
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
--- 32 also disable the speed table and re-program CV67-CV94 to a default linear
speed setting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Whenever the decoder doesn't work please use the program track to program
0-255 3
CV# 125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory settings. This should
0-127 0
bring the decoder to life with address #3. This decoder should perform well
with all DCC systems. The maximum DCC output should be less than 15 V. If
0-1 0 the locomotive does not respond to commands, it may have lost its address.
Please re-program the address and program CV19 to 0 (disable consist). If it
responds slowly, you should clear its momentum by reprogramming CV3 and
0-16 16
CV4 to zero. If step 1's speed is too high, you should program start voltage,
0-22 13
CV2 to zero. If its top speed is too slow, program top voltage CV5 to 31. You
should also clean the track to improve electrical pickup. Read your DCC
0-15 15
system manual to learn how to program and operate the decoder. For more
0-8 5
information about registers/CVs and their functions, please refer to the NMRA
DCC Standard & Recommended Practices, RP-9.2.2. This is available directly
0-15 15
from the NMRA or their website at www.nmra.org.
