Error Indications

If an error should occur on the TWIN-CENTER
during the digital operation, then the equipment
will automatically switch itself off, and the red
LED under the [stop] key will blink. All of the
TWIN-CONTROLS connected via the LocoNet
will also have the red LED illuminated. All displays
will show the following indications:
-- Short --
rail pwr output
Short circuit on the standard track
-- Short --
Short circuit on the track of a connected
booster
-- Short --
LocoNet or C/D
Short circuit between the power feed
wires on the LocoNet B-output or short
circuit on wires C and D on the DCC-boo-
ster output
-- Short --
Layout PT C/D LN
Short circuit between the standard track
output and the programming track out-
put, the DCC-booster output (wiring C/D)
or on LocoNet B output (power feed wire)
-- Short --
Dev. overheated
Through prolonged operation, the upper
performance limit of the equipment has
been exceeded and has overheated. In
order to prevent damage, the overheating

protection has switched the unit off until
the operating temperature returns to nor-
mal.
ADVICE
Once the cause of the problem has been
resolved, then the [go] key will turn it on
again.
If there are problems with the TWIN-CEN-
TER then the version number of the soft-
ware will be of assistance (chapter 17). In
this way errors can be localised and
resolved.

Tips

Fault: With DCC-decoders, the light cannot
be switched on and off
The decoder has 28 speed levels, on the TWIN-
CENTER though 14 or 27 levels have been set for
this address.
Fault: With DCC-decoders, the light
switches itself on and off
A locomotive with DCC-decoder switches the
running lights on and off whilst the speed varies
on the controller if the TWIN-CENTER with a
DCC-decoder is set with 14 speed levels for
DCC-data format with 28 speed levels.
On some DCC-decoders the number of speed
levels can be set via the configuration variable
#29.
14 speed levels ->CV #29, Bit 1 = 0
27 speed levels ->CV #29, Bit 1 = 0
28 speed levels ->CV #29, Bit 1 = 1
128 speed levels ->CV #29, Bit 1 = 1
Please see also the instructions of your DCC-
decoder.
Fault: Problems with DCC-decoders
with another digital format
Several DCC-decoders have problems in running
properly if they detect another digital signal on
the rails rather than just one DCC-signal. These
decoders erroneously interpret the FMZ-data sig-
nal as analogue power and "stutter" along, or
immediately take off at full speed.
For a few decoders, this problem can be allevia-
ted by switching off its ability to recognise analo-
