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
Range Default
to control speed (motor voltage). It allows you to setup each speed for all 28
1-127 3
speed steps. First, program CV29 to 18 for short addresses (1-127) or program
0-63 10
CV29 to 50 for long addresses (128-9999) to enable speed table control. Then
0-63 0 select throttle to 28 speed steps and run your loco at speed step 1. Use program
CV on the main to change CV67's value (1-255) to adjust step 1's speed. The
0-63 0
kick voltage, CV65 is only applied when the speed step changes from 0 to 1. You
0-63 63
should switch between 0 to 1 many times to check step 1's speed. When done
0-1 1
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
--- 2 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
--- 143
also disable the speed table and re-program CV67-CV94 to a default linear
192-231 192
speed setting.

Whenever the decoder doesn't work please use the program track to program
CV# 125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory settings. This should
0-1 1
bring the decoder to life with address #3. This decoder should perform well with all
0-22 13
DCC systems. The maximum DCC output should be less than 21 V. If the locomotive
0-15 12 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 to slowly, you
0-8 3
should clear its momentum by reprogramming CV3 and CV4 to zero. If step 1's
0-15 12
speed is too high, you should program start voltage, CV2 to zero. If its top speed is
0-50 3
too slow, program top voltage CV5 to 31. You should also clean the track to improve
0-13 12
electrical pickup. Read your DCC system manual to learn how to program and
0-15 7 operate the decoder. For more information about registers/CVs and their functions,
please refer to the NMRA DCC Standard & Recommended Practices, RP-9.2.2. This
0-15 12
is available directly from the NMRA or their website at www.nmra.org.
