LGB New Orleans Streetcar Instructions De Service page 6

When operating with the Multi-Train
System, the streetcar features a
"Back-EMF" function. This keeps the
motor speed constant (and under
normal conditions the model's
speed), even when the load of the
model changes, for example, in
curves or on grades. This feature
does not work at top speed, because
additional voltage must be available
to overcome any added load.
If desired, numerous functions of the
onboard decoder, such as accelera-
tion, braking, direction of travel and
many others, can be programmed
using a PC and the 55045 MTS PC
Decoder Programming Module (see
Instructions for advanced users).
These functions also can be pro-
grammed from the 55015 Universal
Remote.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADVANCED
USERS
MTS Onboard Decoder
Programming functions
You can program numerous func-
tions of the onboard decoder to suit
your requirements. If you want to do
this, program the "function values"
in "registers" (CVs) using a PC and
the 55045 MTS PC Decoder
Programming Module. You can also
program the function values using a
55015 Universal Remote.
Hints:
- For normal operation, it is not nec-
essary to change the function val-
ues.
- If programming results in unsatis-
factory operation, you can repro-
gram the factory pre-set values of
most important CVs: Program reg-
ister CV55 to function value 55.
This also reprograms the loco
address to the factory pre-set
value.
To reprogram the factory pre-set
function values with the 55015 (dis-
plays shows "P --") input 6, 5, and 5
and press the right arrow button. The
display shows "P --" again: Input 5,
5, and 5 and press the right arrow
button again.
