LD-G-43 tams elektronik
After the decoder has been installed, the locomotive only runs in one direction.
Possible cause:
The output voltage of the booster is not symmetrical. The decoder interprets the
unbalanced track voltage as ABC braking distance. à Reduce the ABC sensitivity in CV 122
(by increasing the value in CV 122) or deactivate the ABC braking procedure in CV 121.
After programming the decoder the loco runs badly or not at all.
Possible causes:
In CV 1 a base address > 127 is on and in CV 29 the use of extended addresses is off. In
this case the decoder does not react to DCC commands. à Enter a base address < 127 in
CV 1 or activate the use of extended addresses in CV 29.
In CV 29 the use of extended addresses is set. In this case the decoder does not react to
Motorola commands. à Deactivate the use of extended addresses in CV 29.
The entered values for the CV variables are inconsistent. à Perform a decoder reset and
set the values for the motor control again. Follow the instructions in section 5.3.
The load control is switched off. à Check the settings in CV 116.
The load control is poorly set. In this case the locomotive jerks or rocks when driving.
à Set the default values again and follow the instructions in section 5.3 when setting the
load control parameters again.
6.3. Problems with the feedback of the decoder
The CV values cannot be read out via RailCom.
Possible cause:
RailCom is switched off. à Change the value for CV 29 (add "8" to the input value).
The decoder does not register with the control unit via DCC-A.
Possible causes:
RailCom is switched off. à Change the input value in CV 29 (add "8" to the input value).
DCC-A is switched off. à Change the input value for CV 28.
There are one or more decoders on the layout which (wrongly) react to the DCC-A
command for registration. à In this case carry out the registration from a separate track
(e.g. from the programming track).
