Installed 12 volt bulbs must be changed to 16 volt bulbs (already installed in locomotives starting with
fabrication year 2000). 16 volt bulbs can be obtained through stockists or our service department. Compare
with the installed bulb shown in the locomotive replacement parts listing:
art.no. 108616: bulb with attached leads, white 16 V replaces art.no. 93520 12 V
art.no. 109918: bulb with attached leads, red (only 16 volt version)
art.no. 109088: plug-in bulb, small 16 V, replaces art.no. 93518 12 V
art.no. 93734: tubular bulb 16 V, replaces art.no. 93517 12 V
Installation
(required only if decoder was bought separately)
Take precautions to protect against hazardous static discharges. If you have ESD (electrostatic discharge)
equipment available, then use it. Otherwise make sure that you do not touch the pins on the connector!
All installation work must be done on vehicles removed from the track. The locomotive must be in perfect
electrical and mechanical condition. Parts subject to wear e.g. motor brushes, wheel contacts, have to be
cleaned or replaced!
Please note the installation instructions provided with all ROCO locomotives having decoder
interfaces !
We recommend, in addition to the specific locomotive installation instructions, the following procedure:
1.
Remove housing and detach the reversing module or the already installed decoder from the
interface.
2.
Insert the decoder plug into the interface so that side of the decoder plug with red/orange wire at the
side of the interface marked with + or (polarity according to NMRA/NEM rules, i.e. the locomotive
moves with the driver's cab no.1 facing forward).
3.
Install the decoder in a suitable location within the locomotive. No part of the decoder must be
touching metal parts of the locomotive! If necessary the location of the decoder must be
insulated with insulation tape to protect the decoder. The insulation must be attached to
the metal parts of the locomotive, but NOT to the decoder (e.g. by winding the insulation tape
around the decoder!). This could lead to failure of the decoder due to overheating. Damage claims
caused by such failures cannot be acceptet!
The factory used heat shrink tubing around the decoder ensures a sufficient heat dissipation and
should not be removed.
4.
If necessary the decoder can be secured in the desired location with double-sided tape.
Please ensure that the driving stages set in your central unit/digital driving controller are the same as
those in the decoder (CV29).
Flashing lights indicate an incorrect driving stage setting.
For example, if the decoder has been set to 14 driving stage operation but the control (multiMOUSE, etc.) has
been set to 28 driving stages. In this case, the CV29 should be programmed with the value "6" (= analogue
detection + FS 28) .
multiMOUSE:
Menu "PROGRAMMING (2)", CHANGE CV (2.1.) call up "CV29", enter the value "6" and
activate with the "Light / OK" key.
Locmouse 2/R3: Press "P" + "Stop" at the same time, confirm message "06" with "P".
If the locomotive lights do not operate, the decoder was inserted incorrectly into the interface. Reinsert
decoder turned by 180° in the interface.
