Optimising the CV-settings
Above all, the driving characteristics can be influenced by setting the
CV#2 (starting voltage), the CV#6 (medium velocity) and CV#5
(maximum voltage).
In addition, you can alter the parameters of the load control. To adjust
the parameters for the load control (CV#50 to #52) the following
procedure is recommended:
If the locomotive is shuttering: à Increase the value for CV#52 (KD) in
5-steps. If this does not lead to an improvement of the driving
characteristics, set the value of CV#52 back to factory setting (default
value). Then decrease the value for CV#50 (KP) in 5-steps and for
CV#51 (KI) in 2-steps.
If the locomotive does not have enough power and e.g. gets very slow
on the way uphill: à Increase the value for CV#51 (KI) in 2-steps,
until the locomotive starts to shutter. Then increase the value for
CV#52 (KD) in 5-steps. If this does not lead to an improvement or the
locomotive starts to shutter immediately after increasing CV#51, set the
values for CV#51 and CV#52 back to factory setting (default value) and
increase the value for CV#50 (KP) in 5-steps.
If the locomotive is rocking: à Decrease the value for CV#52 in 5-
steps.
If you are not content with the driving characteristics in slow approach,
you can influence them by altering CV#166 and CV#165. Start with
altering the value of CV#166 in 1-steps.
Tip: Setting the parameters of the load control is very difficult, a
change can result in a considerable worsening of the driving
characteristics. For that reason you should always alter the values in
small steps only. When altering the parameters of the load control does
not result in an improvement, you should reset the default values.
