Improvement of the driving characteristics
Locomotives with especially high current consumption or track sections
with bad contacts (e.g. some types of points) may give an
unsatisfactory
performance by soldering a capacitor 100 µF / 35 V between X8 and
X15 (see fig. 1 and 3).
FAQ
§
Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke.
Tip: The deocder may warm up to 45 °C in operation. This does not
affect the functioning of the decoder.
!
Disconnect the system from the mains immediately!
Possible cause: one or more connections are soldered incorrectly.
à Check the connections.
Possible cause: The connection of the motor is connected to locomotive
ground. à Disconnect the connection from locomotive ground.
§
The lighting goes on and off when the speed levels are turned up
or the lighting cannot be switched on or off.
Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digital control
unit do not correspond. Example: The central is set to the mode 28
speed levels, but the decoder to the mode 14 speed levels. à Change
the speed mode at the central and / or at the decoder.
§
The locomotive does not run in analogue mode.
Possible cause: The analogue mode is switched off. à Alter the value
for CV #29.
Possible cause: The analogue model railway layout is run with a A.C.
speed control, the analogue mode however is only possible with
D.C. speed controls.
