5.5 Constant braking distance
5.5.1
Constant braking distance with ABC
Functioning: If the decoder recognises the command "Stop" while in ABC mode, the locomotive will
stop after the set braking distance has been covered. This braking distance is independent of the
speed of the locomotive.
You can activate the constant braking distance with ABC by setting bit 1(0) in CV51.
5.5.2
Constant braking distance with speed step 0
Functioning: During the transition from any speed step to speed step 0 (e.g. by turning the knob of
the manual control to the very left) the locomotive or train covers a settable, defined braking
distance. This distance is independent of the speed of the locomotive. The constant braking
distance is only effective if the speed step is set to 0. If the speed step is decreased from e.g. 28 to
10, the speed-dependent delay from CV3 becomes effective.
Set bit 8(7) in CV51 to activate the constant braking distance with speed step 0.
You can find detailed information on setting the braking distance in the "Manual Plus Decoders" that

Important advice:
The length of the covered braking distance is set in CV52. The braking distance differs depending
on the value set in this CV.
