PROGRAMMING
This decoder supports all program modes and read back features. With MRC
Prodigy Advance DCC you can read its address and CV value.

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 program
Range Default
CV29 to 50 for long addresses (128-9999) to enable speed table control. Then
1-127 3
select throttle to 28 speed steps and run your loco at speed step 1. Use program
0-32 0
CV on the main to change CV67's value (1-255) to adjust step 1's speed. The
0-32 0
kick voltage, CV65 is only applied when the speed step changes from 0 to 1. You
0-32 0
should switch between 0 to 1 many times to check step 1's speed. When done
0-32 32
with CV67, select speed step 2 and program CV68. CV68's value must be
greater then CV67's. When done with CV67-CV94, use read back CV to make
0-2 0
sure their values are in increasing order.

Note: When using MRC Prodigy DCC to program addresses it will automatically
--- 2 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
0-255 3
This decoder should perform well with all DCC systems. The maximum DCC
0-127 0
output should be less than 21 V. If the locomotive does not respond to com-
--- 1
mands, it may have lost its address. Please re-program the address and program
CV19 to 0 (disable consist). If it responds to slowly, you should clear its
0-1 1
momentum by reprogramming CV3 and CV4 to zero. If step 1's speed is too high,
0-33 4
you should program start voltage, CV2 to zero. If its top speed is too slow,
0-3 3
program top voltage CV5 to 31. You should also clean the track to improve
0-7 3 electrical pickup. Read your DCC system manual to learn how to program and
operate the decoder. For more information about registers/CVs and their
0-3 3
functions, please refer to the NMRA DCC Standard & Recommended Practices,
0-50 3
RP-9.2.2. This is available directly from the NMRA or their website at
0-3 3
www.nmra.org. Whenever the decoder doesn't work please use the program
0-3 3
track to program CV# 125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory settings.
0-3 3
This should bring the decoder to life with address #3.
