5. Adjusting parameters of the digital control
You can combine EasyControl with different types of devices. In the system parameters, you
have to define which types of devices (booster, decoders, etc.) you use, to ensure error-free
control of the devices.
Your RedBox does not allow to display, enter or edit the system parameters. For that purpose
you can use:
EasyControl devices (e.g. MasterControl, LokControl, HandControl, HandControl 2): The
devices must have a software version from 2.0. The manuals from version 07/2018 which are
available for free download on our homepage, give further information how to proceed.
PC (with software CV-Navi or control software with EasyControl support)
mobile Android smartphone or tablet with app "EasyControl Android" and Raspberry Pi
Setting duration of the signal pause in the Motorola format
These settings only apply to vehicle decoders in the Motorola format. It’s recommended to set
the signal pause to 1.5 ms. Only if problems with Motorola I decoders occur in operation mode,
should you change the setting to 4.025 ms.
Default value Possible settings
short
short (= 1.5 ms)
long (= 4.025 ms)
Configuring the boosters
The settings of both the booster type (Motorola or DCC) and the short circuit polarity apply to all
connected (external) boosters.
Default value Possible settings
DCC booster
DCC (conform) booster: short circuit polarity = "negative"
MM-(kompatible) booster: short circuit polarity = "positive"
Short circuit polarity
= 100 ms
Value range: AUS, 5, 10, 15, ... 1000 ms
Hint: The lower the set value, the faster the short circuit detection reacts and
booster outputs are switched off. Please note: A high value can cause "welding" in
case of a short circuit (especially in combination with a powerful booster).
