Resetting the CVs or Starting Over
Occasionally, something goes wrong and the decoder will not respond as
expected. Usually, this is caused by one or more CVs being programmed to
the wrong value. The CVs can be quickly reset to their factory default values
using the following procedure.
1. Program CV 30 to 2 (or CV 8 to 8) using either Service Mode or
Operations Mode
2. Place the model on a powered section of track. If it is already on the
mainline, cycle power to the decoder by turning power to the track off and
then back on. (Remember you must allow the capacitor to discharge.)
3. After power is restored to the track there should be no indication of
activity.
4. After a six-second time period, the interior light will blink 16 times
indicating that the CVs were successfully reset.
5. The decoder should now respond to short address 3 just as it did when it
was first unpacked.
6. If you cannot get the decoder to reset, check to see that it has not been
inadvertently locked (see “If You Forget the Lock Code” in the previous
section).
