Operation on analog layouts
A ROCO locomotive equipped with a Decoder can also be run on a conventional layout. To change direction of travel the
control knob of the controller must �rst be set to zero. Only then can the direction of travel be selected. The brightness
of the lamps depends on the speed of the train. The lights can not be turned o�. Reprogramming of previously set
addresses and functions is not possible while in analog operation.
Installation
(required only if decoder was bought separately)
GB
Important installation instructions:
• Digital decoders are modern high-quality electronic products and are to be treated with special care
• Coming into contact with �uids (e.g. oil, water, cleaning agents ...) place the decoder at risk.
• Incorrect treatment with metallic objects (e.g. screwdriver, tweezers...) can cause mechanical/electrical dama-
ge to the decoder.
• Rough treatment (e.g. pulling wire strands, bending components) can cause mechanical/electrical damage.
• Soldering work on the decoder can result in failures occurring.
• The decoder is to be adhered to a surface which is as large as possible, using the enclosed electrically insula-
ting adhesive strips.
• When adhering the decoder, please take care and ensure that no decoder parts which protrude from the adhesive
strips can come into contact with metal parts (cut the adhesive strip to size if necessary).
1. Remove the locomotive housing as described in the operating instructions for the locomotive which are enclosed
with it.
2. Disconnect the dc power plug from the locomotive interface. Place the plug in a safe place! Should any faults occur
at a later date, this can be used to determine whether they have been caused by the locomotive or the decoder.
3. Insert the decoder plug into the existing locomotive interface. When doing so, ensure that the mark "1" or "★" are
on the same edge of the plug as the mark on the interface.
4. Use the enclosed double-sided adhesive strip to attach the decoder at the place provided for this purpose by the
locomotive manufacturer, or adhere it to a metal surface which has good thermal conduction, should nothing be
speci�ed. First of all, adhere the adhesive strip to the metal surface and then carefully press the decoder onto the
adhesive strip.
5. Replace the locomotive housing, ensuring that the wire strands are not trapped.
Operating parameters for the decoder
The decoder has numerous setting possibilities (e.g. its address) which determine its actions or enable conclusions
to be drawn concerning its actions. These settings are or will be stored in so-called CVs (CV = Con�guration Variable,
please refer to the table at the end of these instructions). There are CVs which only store a single piece of information
(referred to as a "byte"), and others which include 8 information units (bits). The bits are numbered in sequence from
0 to 7. You require this knowledge for the programming. The programming of the CVs can be very easily carried out
with a DCC control device which is able to program "CV-direct" in bytes and bits. The programming of some of the
CVs is also possible via the register programming. All of the CVs can also be programmed on the main track in bytes
as long as your control device is able to carry out this programming form (POM -Program on Main). (You will �nd
more information on this subject in the operating instructions for the digital control device concerned.)
Decoder Reset
Should you not know what to do at any time, you can restore the works settings at all times: simply program the CV 64 in
the value 64, for additional reset options see CV64 and CV8.
