4.6 Pantograph
The tamping machine is equipped with a motorized pantograph. Its lifting height is adjustable. In order to be able to adjust
the height, the part of the roof to which the pantograph is mounted needs to be removed and a screw limiting the lifting
height of the actuator motor needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Remove the vehicle from the track or switch off the track voltage.
Lift the roof part at the front by pushing its lateral edges slightly inwards in order to relieve the latching lugs and pull the
roof slightly upward and forward in order to release the rear latching lugs (s. fig. 6).
Fig. 7 shows the motor drive and the screw necessary for adjusting the lifting height. When the screw is turned completely
backwards, i. e. anti-clockwise, the pantograph will reach its maximum lifting height. The more the screw is turned in
clockwise direction, the lower is the lifting height. Table 2 "Lifting height pantograph" provides a survey on the approximate
correllation between lifting height and screw protrusion.
To change the lifting height by 1 mm, you will need to turn the screw 2.5 times.
In this way the pantograph can be adapted to the configuration of your layout. As the corresponding sound of the
pantograph movement has a constant running time, the pantograph speed is adapted to the lifting height. This happens
during the pantograph movement. If you have changed the settings of the screw move the pantograph four times up
and down to allow the software to adjust the speed of the motor drive accordingly. This adjustment works from a lifting
height of 20 mm upwards.
5. Configuration of the decoder
The decoder is configured by means of the configuration variables (CVs). In DCC mode programming on the main (POM)
is also possible. In the Motorola format the settings are programmed in the respective registers.
5.1 Programming with DCC command stations
You may program the configuration variables (CVs) with the command station.
Please refer to the relevant chapter of the manual of your command station where the programming of the CVs by bytes
is described.
5.2 Programming with the Märklin Central Station and Mobile Station
You can program the registers with the Central Station and the Mobile Station by Märklin. By means of an expanded data
entry method it is also possible to enter values greater than 80.
5.3 Programming with Märklin Motorola command stations
Put the train onto the track that is connected to the track output terminals of the command station. To avoid programming
another vehicle inadvertently no other vehicle may be on this track.
Please note: If you use a multi protocol command station providing both DCC and Motorola format we recommend
programming the decoder in DCC format. Afterwards you may control the decoder also in the Motorola format.
For programming the decoder with any of the Märklin Motorola Central Units, first activate a reset of the command station
(by simultaneously pushing the "Stop" and "Go" buttons for a while) or turn off the command station and then back on
again. Then select the current address of the decoder or the address "80" if, e. g. you do not know the current address
of the decoder). The factory setting is address "3". Turn all functions off (F1 to F4).
Then push the „Stop" button of the command station. After that activate the change-of-direction command and keep
the throttle knob pushed down. Push the "Go" button. As soon as the lights of the vehicle start blinking (after about 2
seconds) the decoder has switched to programming mode. Now you may release the throttle knob.
You may program the register of the decoder as follows while in programming mode:
1. Select a register that you want to program by entering the number of the register as a Motorola locomotive address
on your command station. Please note that with some command stations you have to enter 0 first.
2. Activate the change-of-direction switch. The lights blink faster.
3. Enter the desired value for the register by entering the value as a Motorola locomotive address on your command
station.
4. Activate the change-of-direction switch again. The lighting starts slowly blinking once more.
Repeat points 1 to 4 for all registers you want to program. In order to select a register for programming or for entering a
value for a register you must confirm the entered value (number) in the same manner as if you select a locomotive number
on your command station. The lighting indicates which command is expected by the decoder:
-
Lighting is blinking: Entry of a register number
-
Lighting blinks faster: Entry of a value for a register
For terminating the programming mode push the "Stop" button.
Hint: Programming of values greater than 80 in the "Motorola Long Mode".
In order to move from the classic Motorola programming mode into the extended or Motorola Long Mode, first program
