TROUBLE SHOOTING
This decoder should perform well with all DCC systems. The maximum DCC output
should be less than 16 V. If the locomotive does not respond to commands, it may
have lost its address. Please re-program the address and program CV19 to 0
Range Default
(disable consist). If it responds slowly, you should clear its momentum by
1-127 3
reprogramming CV3 and CV4 to zero. If step 1's speed is too high, you should
0-32 0
program start voltage, 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.
