Locomotive Address; Operational Test - roco 10746 Bedienungsanleitung

We recommend, in addition to the specific locomotive installation instructions, the following procedure:
1.
Remove housing and detach the Bridge connector or the already installed decoder from the inter-
face.
2. Insert the decoder plug into the interface (Fig. 1) so that side of the decoder plug with red/orange
wire at the side of the interface marked with
locomotive moves with the driver's cab no.1 facing forward).
3. Install the decoder in a suitable location within the locomotive. No part of the decoder must be
touching metal parts of the locomotive! If necessary the location of the decoder must be insulated
with insulation tape to protect the decoder. The insulation must be attached to the metal parts of
GB
the locomotive, but NOT to the decoder (e.g. by winding the insulation tape around the decoder!).
This could lead to failure of the decoder due to overheating. Damage claims caused by such failures
cannot be acceptet!
The possible factory used heat shrink tubing around the decoder ensures a sufficient heat dissipation
and should not be removed.
4. If necessary the decoder can be secured in the desired location with double-sided tape.

Locomotive address

The factory-set default address of the decoder is 03. To program a new address please refer to the Lokmaus
manuals or the Instruction Sheet of your digital system.
Only local addresses from 1 – 99 can be stored in CV1. The programming of so-called long addresses is not
possible.

Operational test

If the locomotive lights do not operate, the decoder was inserted incorrectly into the interface. Reinsert
decoder turned by 180° in the interface.
If there is a problem with the headlight, the decoder was used in the 28 speed-step mode. In this case you
have to reprogram the CV29 (see table at the other side. By using the Lokmaus
"P" + "Stop" simultaneously, change the displayed "06" to "04" and confirm with "P".)
Operation on analog layouts
A ROCO locomotive equipped with a decoder can also be run on a conventional layout. To change direc-
tion of travel the control knob of the controller must first be set to zero. Only then can the direction of
travel be selected.
The brightness of the lamps depends on the speed of the train. The lights can not be turned off. Reprogram-
ming of previously set addresses and functions is not possible while in analog operation.
List of important CVs
The following list informs about the most important programming capabilities of the decoder. We recom-
mend to test your locomotive / railcar with regard to starting voltage, acceleration, braking and maximum
speed during operations to check if these characteristics are set conforming to your wishes BEFORE chang-
ing the factory-set default settings.
