4.3 Running notches
The decoder can be operated in the 14/27 or the 28/128 running-notches mode. This setting is
made in CV29.
4.4 Disabling of delay
Use function 4 (ex-works setting, can be altered in CV60) to disable the starting and braking delay
as well as the constant braking distance during operation. The delays are disabled as long as the
function is active.
4.5 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.
4.5.1 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.
