Increase or decrease the value in CV61, e.g. in steps of 10, and carry out another
measurement. You will thus create a table which will show the braking distances in relation to
the values set in CV61.
Important advice:
The constant braking distance is only effective if the running notch is altered to 0. If the running
notch is decreased from e.g. 28 to 10, the speed-dependent delay from CV4 becomes effective.
While the shunting speed is switched off (default setting F3), the constant braking distance is
disabled and the delay from CV4 becomes effective.
The constant braking distance is also disabled if the delays set in the decoder are disabled by
means of the corresponding function.
The two latter features can also be used sensibly if you wish to interrupt a current braking process
prematurely.
The constant braking distance does not work if the layout is operated in analogue DC mode.
5.6 Shunting speed
The shunting speed halves the speed. This facilitates particularly sensitive control of the shunting
process. Use function 3 (ex-works setting, can be altered in CV59) to enable and disable the
shunting speed. If the shunting speed is enabled, the constant braking distance is disabled. The
shunting speed is enabled as long as the function is active.
5.7 ABC = simple signal stop and slow approach
You can carry out a particularly simple signal stop using the ABC braking module. Depending on the
signal position, this module creates an asymmetric track voltage in the braking section in front of the
signal. The decoder reacts to this. Combined with the constant braking distance, precise on-the-
spot stopping in front of red signals is not a problem. Of course, passage in the opposite direction is
