5.5 Constant braking distance
Functioning: During the transition from one running notch to running notch 0 (e.g. by moving the
turning-knob of the manual control to the left limit-stop), the locomotive/train covers a settable,
defined braking distance. This braking distance does not depend on the speed of the
locomotive/train.
5.5.1
Setting the constant braking distance:
The braking distance is defined by the value set in CV52. Since the motors and gear ratios of
locomotives vary, the braking distance differs from locomotive to locomotive even if the same value
is set in CV52.
1.
Use a short test section to measure how long your locomotive's braking distance will be with
a given value set in CV52. Start with the default value in CV52.
2.
Enable the constant braking distance function (this requires setting Bit 2 in CV51. If this bit is
not set, the decoder will use the speed-dependent braking delay).
3.
Accelerate your locomotive until it has reached average speed.
4.
At a chosen point in time, set the running notch to 0. This requires moving the turning-knob of
the manual controls LH30, LH90 or the compact to the left limit-stop; if you are using the
LH100, keep pressing the key until the running notch is set to 0 or until the locomotive
address is displayed (if using the LH100, do not press key
specific emergency stop (Nothalt) and the delays in the locomotive decoder will not be
enabled!).
5.
Measure the covered braking distance.
