The sound unit has a minimum power requirement necessary to play 

all sound effects. Many factors contribute to what the necessary 

voltage is such as the power source, the startup volume (CV133) and 

system loading. Lowering this value will instruct the sound unit to 

start the audio effects at a lower voltage. Note: Care should be 

taken with this value. Lowering this value too low will result in 

the unit not being able to function at all. If this occurs, set this 

value to a larger number or the initial value and reprogram the 

value in service mode.

The sound unit is instructed to play the shutdown effect and turn off 

all effects at this value. The shutdown effect only plays from the idle 

condition. Many factors contribute to what this actual voltage is such 

as the power source, system volume, individual volumes (CV133, 

CV135—CV161) and system loading. Lowering this value will 

instruct the sound unit to play the shutdown effect at a lower voltage. 

Note: Care should be taken with this value. Lowering this value 

too low will result in the unit not being able to play the shutdown 

effect and terminate all effects properly. The sound unit could 

abruptly shut off. If this occurs, set this value to a larger number or

The decoder’s visual lighting effects for the front and rear light are 

configured here. Rule 17 lighting may be enabled or disabled by 

writing a “0” or a “1” to Value. In addition, separate bits allow for 

independent control of Rule 17 for DCC or DC. 

Rule 17 Lighting 

Rule 17 Lighting says “Headlights shall be dimmed when standing 

at stations or waiting on side tracks for an oncoming train”. When 

rule 17 lighting is enabled, the headlight will be noticeable dimmed 

at appropriately times. 


DCC Rule 17 Lighting 

For DC operators, the lights will dim per rule 17 when the brake set 

sound effect plays (CV209). The lights will return to normal 

brightness when the brake release sound plays (CV210). In addition, 

CV227 allows for disabling the brake set and brake release. Disabling 

these automatic effects does disable rule 17 lighting. Only CV159 can 

disable rule 17 lighting. 

DC Rule 17 Lighting 

For DC operators, the lights will dim per rule 17 when the brake set 

sound effect plays (CV191). The lights will return to normal 

brightness when the brake release sound plays (CV192).

CV162=16 for .5 seconds for off time one 

CV163=16 for .5 seconds for on time two 

CV164=64 for 2 seconds for off time two 


Type 3: 

Ramped Duty Cycle. CV161 defines the start of the on 

time within the period; CV162 defines the ramp up time; 

CV163 defines the end of the on time within the period; 

CV164 defines the ramp down time. The period is 127

time (0 to 127) is 11.6ms. CV162 is a ramp up timer 

determining how many periods elapse before the On 

Time is increased by one. Once CV161 increases to CV163 

value, the ramp down begins. CV164 is a ramp down 

timer determining how many periods elapse before the 

On Time is decreases by one. Once CV163 decreases to 

CV161, the ramp up cycle repeats, etc.

Vmin defines the track voltage that applies the lowest or starting 

motor power. The power applied at this voltage is the Dmin. Valid 

values for Vmin is from 0-255. Decreasing Vmin means a higher track 

voltage becomes necessary before the train begins to move. 

Increasing Vmin means the train begins to move at a lower track 

voltage. Vmin and Dmin work together to determine the initial 

motor power at the start voltage for train movement. 

Note: Vmin must be less than Vmax.

Dmin defines the minimal duty cycled responsible for Vmin motor 

power. Increasing this value will cause more motor power at Vmin 

while decreasing this value causes less motor power at Vmin. 



Advanced DC Motor Control 

Dc operation with sounds creates a dilemma. The train usually will start moving at a very low 

track voltage, to low to power a loudspeaker with high quality sounds. A higher voltage of 

operation for the motor is an acceptable solution. About 6-7 volts is necessary before this sound 

system can function, producing loud, high quality sounds, with the motor powered and the train 

beginning to move. This advanced motor controller gives acceptable motor control at the 

necessary power levels, allowing the sound system to start at a much lower voltage, keeping the 

motor from stealing the power from the sound system until enough power exists to move the 

train without the sounds degrading or shutting off. Also, more overall power is diverted to the 

motor at top speeds. The maximum train speed is higher with this advanced DC motor 

controller. 

The DC motor controller may be altered by changing the power curve. CV251, CV252 and 

CV253 control the slope, intercept and initial motor power. Altering these values changes the 

trains startup behavior relative to track voltage and at what voltage full track power is applied to 

the motor. 

Vmin 

Vmin defines the track voltage that applies the lowest or starting motor power. Valid values for 

Vmin is from 0-255. The distance between Vmin and Vmax (Vmax > Vmin) distributes motor 

power from Dmin (Applied Duty Cycle) at Vmin until Vmax where 100% of the power from the 

track is applied. 

Note: Vmin < Vmax. Too low a value for Vmin may cause the sound unit to reset when 

power is supplied to the motor. 

Vmax 

Vmax is the track voltage that once reached allows 100% track power to the motor. Valid values 

for Vmax is from 0-255. Increasing Vmax means a higher track voltage is needed before all track 

power is supplied to the motor. Decreasing Vmax means full power to the motor at a lower track 

voltage. 

Note: Vmax > Vin. Too high a value for Vmax may not allow the train to reach full speed. 

Dmin 

Dmin defines the minimal duty cycled responsible for Vmin motor power. Valid values are from 

1 to 63. The initial value is 44. Increasing this value will cause more motor power at Vmin 

while decreasing this value causes less motor power at Vmin. 

Note: Too high a value for Dmin may cause the sound unit to reset when power is supplied 

to the motor 


Advanced DC Motor Control 

Figure one illustrates a motor connected directly to track power and a motor connected to the 

advanced motor controller. The sound unit supplies full sound volume at about 5.5 volts. Motor 

power is supplied around 6 volts. Between 6 volts and 12 volts, the sound unit monitors the track 

voltage and proportionately increase or decreases the motor power as noted by the slope of the 

enhanced curve in figure one. At about 12 volts, all power is applied to the motor. The train 

motor is now for all practically purposes, connected directly to the track. Note that 100% power 

is not applied. The loss is due to the power control device. You will note that the maximum 

train speed will be faster with the enhanced DC motor controller than most DC decoders. This 

loss illustrated in the curve is much less with the enhanced DC motor controller.

Decimal to Binary Primer 

Setting CV’s 

Setting the CV’s requires knowledge of conversion between binary 

and decimal. The following examples demonstrates the conversion 

process from binary to decimal after determining which bits in a CV 

need to be “1” and which needs to be “0”. The tables are also useful 

for converting binary to decimal. 

Reading CV’s 

The tables are also useful for converting decimal to binary when 

reading the CV’s in service mode. After reading the CV, use the 

tables to determine which bits are “1” and which bits are “0”. Once 

the bit patterns are identified, find the CV in this manual to 

determine what functions are controlled by the bits.
