    2.1 General product information The DR4018 is a multiprotocol decoder that automatically detects DCC and MM. A rectifier is installed in the decoder so that the outputs always switch with DC voltage (DC). With the function mapping via CV programming it is possible to realize all imaginable tasks.

  • Page 6 To read CV's on the programming track, the POWER and SIGNAL connections must be connected to the programming track of the central unit. In this case, please disconnect the external power supply at the DR4018. In addition, a resistor (150-270 Ohm) should be connected to "C" and terminal 1 of Out 1, otherwise no read confirmation can be detected by the central unit.
  • Page 7 The turnout addresses are always assigned by a turnout command!!! Make sure the DR4018 is powered from the decoder's power connector. It is best to use a switching power supply with at least 12V DC output voltage and 3A output power. The signal connection of the decoder must be connected to the main track output of your control panel! Call up the desired magnetic article address which the DR4018 is to receive as the start address at the central unit, handset controller, app, etc.
  • Page 8 (For further information on CV byte or CV bit programming, please refer to the operating instructions of your control panel) Now the desired CV value can be written to the DR4018 with the respective function Write POM of the central, app or handset controller.
  • Page 9 Please note that reading out and programming the DR4018 via the programming track only works if the central unit does not switch off the programming track! Therefore, before attempting programming, check that the green LED next to the power connector is lit. Only if this is the case can the DR4018 be successfully pro- grammed as described in this section.
  • Page 10 Switch the function F0 (light) on and off again to activate the locomotive in the control panel. Press the programming button on the DR4018. The red LED now lights up continuously and indicates that the DR4018 is in "programming mode".
  • Page 11 Please note that reading out and programming the DR4018 via the programming track only works if the central unit does not switch off the programming track! Therefore, before attempting programming, check that the green LED next to the power connector is lit. Only if this is the case can the DR4018 be successfully pro- grammed as described in this section.
  • Page 12 DR4018 indicates whether the programming track always outputs volt- age. If this does not light up continuously, the programming track is switched off. This leads to the DR4018 requiring a different programming or re- setting procedure than usual.
  • Page 13 This is absolutely necessary to successfully complete the RESET. After approx. 30 seconds the desired connection can be restored. The DR4018 is now reset to factory settings. The POM address was reset to 9999 again and the DR4018 has the magnetic article address 1 again. By switching the mag- netic article address 1 it can be checked whether the RESET was successful.

  • Page 34 7.1 Vector groups Function mapping The following table shows how you can link the various outputs of the DR4018 module (1-16) with the turnout control panel of your control panel. This can be useful if you want to switch several outputs simultaneously via one key. If you want to switch several outputs in a group with one function key, then add the values.
  • Page 35 IThis table shows how the different signal numbers (CV 131-134) are connected to output groups. It may be necessary to change this setting if you want to control turnouts and signals with the same DR4018. These CVs usually contain the value 0.
  • Page 36 DR4018 Switch decoder 7.4 Signal patterns of the integrated signal decoders (CV131-134) The integrated signal decoder always uses a group of 4 addresses per signal. The combination of the first three addresses results in the signal pattern. In order to be able to call up the respective signal pattern, the first three addresses must therefore always be connected together.
