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
Range Default
speed steps. First, program CV29 to 18 for short addresses (1-127) or program
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 10
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
with CV67, select speed step 2 and program CV68. CV68's value must be
0-32 32
greater then CV67's. When done with CV67-CV94, use read back CV to make
--- 2
sure their values are in increasing order.
--- 19
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
--- 143
also disable the speed table and re-program CV67-CV94 to a default linear
192-231 192
speed setting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Loco running without chuff sound click F12. Whenever the decoder doesn't
0-1 0
work please use the program track to program CV #125 with value 1 to restore
the decoder to factory settings. This should bring the decoder to life with
0-63 63
address #3. This decoder should perform well with all DCC systems. The maximum
0-17 4
DCC output should be less than 18 V. If the locomotive does not respond to
0-63 60
commands, it may have lost its address. Please re-program the address and
0-7 60
program CV19 to 0 (disable consist). If it responds slowly, you should clear its
momentum by reprogramming CV3 and CV4 to zero. If step 1's speed is too high,
0-63 3
you should program start voltage, CV2 to zero. If its top speed is too slow, program
0-50 10
top voltage CV5 to 31. You should also clean the track to improve electrical pickup.
