TROUBLESHOOTING:
As with any decoder installation, nothing can go too badly wrong if the loco ran well before conversion, the decoder has been installed correctly and you pre-checked your installation on the programming track before putting it on the main line! So for those new to dcc installations here are some tips to consider:
(1) Nothing Happens:
* Have you selected the address? If it’s a new decoder it will be #3. If you did it a while ago & you can’t recall its number then go to the programming track & RESET the decoder (set CV8 to the number 2). It will now be #3.
* If it is not responding or running and you KNOW the address, be sure that its not suffering from a loco failure or a short circuit in the wiring or it will be damaged.
(2) Lights / functions will not work!
* Have you turned the lights ON with Function 0 (zero) and also used the direction switch - remember white and yellow functions are both always directional by default.
* Have you perhaps wired the LED back to front?
* Did you add a resistor? If not you may have blown the LED! (the function will still be OK).
* Try a RESET back to factory defaults by entering 2 into CV8.
(3) Help - I think I must have made a CV setting mistake. Now it won’t work.
No problem! Just do a reset (CV8 to 2) and the decoder will be back to the settings it had when you bought it.
(4) It has got a big black hole in the heatshrink!
The only way this can happen is by incorrect wiring, shorting wires together, current overload or similar problem. You killed it, sorry! We are unable to help with this situation and we cannot accept a decoder in this state for return or refund. This is why you must take great care with the installation and check everything before putting the loco on your main line.
If in doubt, as a first step in troubleshooting decoders, always try a RESET by entering 2 into CV8.
