4 Features of the SILVER 21 decoder
The following contains a short survey of the features of the SILVER 21 decoder as well as
information on how to set them.
For more detailed information please refer to the "SILVER decoder" operating manual which
can be downloaded from the Lenz Elektronik GmbH website: www.lenz-elektronik.de
4.1 Capacity and protection equipment
The motor output has a current-carrying capacity of up to 1,0A even without special installation on
cooling surfaces! The function outputs have current-carrying capacities of 100mA each.
The decoder is protected against short circuits. In case of a fault, the corresponding bit is set in
CV30 which will state the type of fault which has occured. This bit can be deleted via programming.
4.2 Motor control
The decoder has a high-frequency control (23kHz). To adapt it to the type of locomotive used, you
can choose between six different motor types in CV50. These motor types include parameter sets
which have been specially adapted to the respective models. Moreover, it is possible to carry out
fine-tuning via CV113 or CV114 when selecting motor types 4 or 5. Of course you can switch off
both the high-frequency drive as well as the control system itself. You can still use CV9 to adjust the
repeat rate.
The minimum (CV2), maximum (CV5) and mid (CV6) speed can be set; the decoder automatically
adapts the characteristic speed line dynamically to ensure a steady, smooth curve. Independently of
this, it is also possible to program an individual characteristic speed line.
