2.3 ANALOG OPERATION:
Your loco can also be driven on analog layouts, which are
exclusively fed with DC power. However, in analog op-
eration the headlights cannot be switched on or off. The
available sounds are limited:
a) Stationary and running sounds, with intermittend ad-
ditional noises, will only be audible using a mid-level
power setting.
b) Additional sounds, i.e. the whistle, cannot be called
up individually.
2.4 RailCom
®
The decoder in this locomotive comes with RailCom
i.e. it does not only receive data from the control center,
but can also return data to a RailCom
center. For more information please refer to the manual
of your RailCom
at a control center that does not have RailCom
recommend to disable RailCom
ting off CV28 and CV29 (see table in section 5).
3. OPERATING
3.1 Setting the parameters with DCC-conforming
equipment
The Sound decoder is compatible with NMRA/DCC
standards. This means that all parameters, which are
affected by the procedures of the Sound decoder, are
laid out in so-called CV's (Configuration Variables). The
Sound decoder supports a lot of variables. The sheer
quantity of CV's gives the first clue as to the enormous
setting capabilities that the Sound decoder has to offer.
All CV's are already set to the optimum in your model,
and should only be altered after careful consideration.
In chapter 5 you will find a list of the parameters that
you can alter for yourself. The setting of the CV's can
be undertaken on any equipment that conforms to the
NMRA/DCC system.
For operation with the TWIN-CENTER 6802, you will
achieve the best sound effects when the TWIN-CENTER
is set to pure DCC mode. With software version V1.100
of the TWIN-CENTER, DCC is preset; anyway, during the
previous operation, it might have been altered.
To select DCC-operation, carry out the following simple
steps:
In the basic setting menu for special options:
Set SO25 = 1, SO907 = 4, as well as setting the loco
data format to DCC (14 steps or more) and re-set the
loco data format.
Attention! Resetting the configuration will put it back
into factory setting. If the TWIN-CENTER has the V1.000
software version, you will get the "FMZ" data format.
From version V1.100, you will get the "DCC" data format.
Z21 multiMAUS, multiMAUS
and z21 start are working already in pure DCC mode.
3.2 Operation with Motorola
The base station Control Unit 6021 from Märklin
able to transmit the new Motorola
absolutely essential for operation with Sound, because
only this new format will support the functions F1 up to
F4. The functions F5 up to F8 can be called up by setting
the decoder to also react to the functions F1 up to F4
of the next higher address (see also chapter 5, CV 112,
