FD-R Basic 2 English
 The lighting goes on and off when the speed levels are turned up or
the lighting cannot be switched on or off.
Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digital
central unit do not correspond. Example: The central unit is set to
the mode 28 speed levels, but the decoder to the mode 14 speed
levels. à Change the speed mode at the central and / or at the
decoder.
Problems with the area "RailCom transmitter"
 The CV values cannot be read out.
Possible cause: RailCom is switched off. à Alter the value of
CV #29.
Possible cause: The RailCom channel 2 is switched off. à Alter the
value in CV#28 to "2" or "3".
Possible cause: In CV #888 the function decoder area is activated
instead of the RailCom transmitter area. à Alter the value in CV #28
to "1".
Possible cause: Instead of saving the settings into the RailCom
transmitter area they have been saved into the function decoder area.
à Programm the RailCom transmitter area anew and pay attention to
set the value "1" for CV #888.
 A combination of the FD-R Basic 2 and another decoder cannot be
programmed together or the data cannot be read out from one of
the modules.
Possible cause: This malfunction occurs especially with older DCC
decoders. à In most cases you can sidestep this malfunction by
programming the RailCom area of the FD-R Basic 2 and the decoder
via main track programming. In case this does not work as well, you
should read out or program the RailCom area of the FD-R Basic 2
and the decoder individually. For that purpose interrupt the
connection to the rail connector of that module that is not going to
be programmed.
