After installing the replacement Digitrax DZ143 decoder (black decoder wire to black loco wire; red decoder wire to red loco wire; gray decoder wire to one...
Dick, Tried to first check the Loconet cables. I found one between the DB150 and the LNRP to be bad. Changed it out and system works until I plugged the...
Storey, Set CV33 to a value of 2 and CV34 to a value of 1 to solve your lighting problem. Had you reversed the motor wires, you would have solved the problem...
Storey, You need to change the gray and orange wires around and leave the black and red the way they were originally. Also reset cv 29 back to original. Dave...
Mike, I'll try setting CVs 33 and 34 as you suggest. I don't know if I "reversed" the motor wires or not. I first connected the black decoder wire to the black...
Storey, Reversing the motor leads is what makes the motor run in the correct direction with respect to the throttle's indicated direction of travel. Changing...
Thanks Ian, I will try the 2-digit route. I did program it as a 4-digit number. I guess 127 might not be the best since it is right on the cusp of the...
A good thing to get into the habit of doing is to setup and test a new decoder using a decoder tester (either purchased* or homemade). This will tell you right...
Many months ago, I instaled decoders in two of my locos. One loco is an atlas trainmand gp-35 with a DH123p, and the other loco is an IHC gp 38-2 with a...
Loconet Checker is a great tool, but realize, as you just did, that it will recognize that changes have been made to your boards since the last time the...
Thank you, Mike! Changing CV33 and CV34 as you suggested works! Now I can tackle the second Mogul with renewed confidence. If I have a similar problem, I'll...
Swapping the rail power leads should not affect the direction of travel or lighting direction when under DCC control. If you are running analog mode, the...
Jonathan: Transistors can fail off or on and it sounds like yours may have failed on. If the reset took you needed to reprogram the engine address, yes? Since...
Considering the number of DS64s out there, the failure rate has been minimal. It is a very reliable unit. The majority of them that are returned are found to...
Storey, ONe more trip to the work bench. Keep Black to Black and Red to Red Reverse the grey and orange wires in regards to the motor brush they are...
I have a Super Chief radio control, DCS200 g scale. Suddenly my 2 analog locos wont run, some halting efforts but not running. They used to, as my set up is 5...
To: Dennis From your message it sound as if the DCS200 is not supplying adequate voltage/current to the trackage. Ensure that the DCS200 'Scale' switch is...
Long shot, but if somebody (or by weird mistake) set the OP-SW on the command station to disable analog loco operation, that would explain what's happening....
Can someone please explain these CV's(33 and 34) or send me to a reference. I have scoured the archives trying to resolve why my headlight will not go on when...
CVs 33 and 34 are the mapping CVs for F0F and F0R respectively. The value placed in each of these CVs determine what output wire each function controls....
Dear Sam: This is why some of us have learned to save and retain all imformation provided with the decoder at time of purchase. In fact I put this imformation...
Steve Besides all the battery checks and power checks to the UR91 and LocoNet cable checks, There is 1 other thing to look for. The system is capable of ...
This has been doing this for the last couple weeks now, but I just do the statis edit to get the settings back on 128. What would make the system every time...
Steve, Kicks I believe you are referring to the Loconet ID. It is a value between 0 an 7 and is used to differentiate between neighboring layouts whether at a...
Doug, thanks for the help. I took your advice and my decoder died with the CV changes. I had to reset it to factory values and all returned OK. I have about...
Art, You don't say what command station you are using, but if its the DCS100 be sure OP SW 21, 22, & 23 are either all thrown (default 128 mode) or as mine is,...
Not radio channels, but LocoNet IDs. All Digitrax radio (so far) operates on the same radio frequency. IDs provide logocal separation (i.e., a UR91 on LocoNet...
