CV8 RESETTING THE DECODER
Should it become necessary to reset the decoder to factory specs, place the
unit on the programming track of your DCC system and:
1. Enter Paged Mode programming,
2. Enter/read CV8,
3. Set/Program the value 8 into CV8.
That’s it! You have just reset the decoder to factory CV settings. This does not
affect the sounds on your decoder other than any volume settings that you
may have changed. They will be returned to factory settings.
NOTES:
• After a reset, CV8 will again read 151.
• CV1 Short Address will be active again and set to 03
• CV17/18 and CV29 will return to factory defaults
DO NOT reset the decoder using POM (Programming on the Main) as the
decoder requires a power cycle OFF to ON to complete the reset cycle.
Failure to do so may result in the decoder not properly resetting.
CV17 Long Address (Ad4) - High Byte
The value entered in CV17 determines the higher value (rst two digits) of
a long address entered into the decoder. See chart on pg. 114 of ESU V5
decoder manual #51989.
CV18 Low Address (Ad4) - Low Byte
The value entered in CV18 determines the lower value (second two digits)
of a long address entered into the decoder. See chart on pg. 49 of ESU V5
decoder manual #51989.
Manually Programming a Long (Ad4) Address:
The following information is the same as that found in the decoder manual
for determining and programming a long address manually. Some DCC
systems have automated methods for entering a long address that you may
prefer to use.
To programm a long address, you need to calculate the values for CV17 and
CV18 and enter them into the decoder. Please note that it is not possible
to program addresses via the programming mode “POM” Programming on
Main.
To program the long address proceed as follows:
• First you determine the desired address, for instance 4007.
• Then you look for the appropriate address range in Fig. 2.
The value to be entered into CV17 can be found in the column on the right.
In our example, it is 207.
The value for CV18 is established as follows:
desired address 4007
minus rst address in the address range - 3840
===============================
equals value for CV18 167
• Program CV17 = 207
• Program CV18 = 167
Your decoder is now programmed to address 4007.*
* You must still program Bit 5 of CV29 to recognize the long address. Review
the CV29 Conguration Register section for more information.
