mXion RD6 Main Board User Manual

Introduction

Dear customer, we strongly recommend that you read these manuals and the warning notes thouroughly before installing and operating your device. The device is not a toy (15+).
NOTE: Make sure that the outputs are set to appropriate value before hooking up any other device. We can’t be responsible For any damage if this is disregarded.

General information

We recommend studying this manual thoroughly before installing and operating your new device. Place the decoder in a protected location. The unit must not be exposed to moisture.
NOTE: Some funktions are only available with the latest firmware. Please make sure that your device is programmed with the latest firmware.

Hook-Up

Install your device in compliance with the connecting diagrams in this manual. The device is protected against shorts and excessive loads. However, in case of a connection error e.g. a short this safety feature can’t work and the device will be destroyed subsequently. Make sure that there is no short circuit caused by the mounting screws or metal.
NOTE: Please note the CV basic settings in the delivery state.

CONNECTORS

Terminal number + R is connected when switched off starte(NC). Number +G is open in the off state (NO).

Product description

The mXion RD6 is a very small but powerful 6 ch. relay decoder for universal. Thanks to the independent up to 1 Amps load per relay outputs with double relays, the decoder is universal usable. This allows large loads to be carried out for one normal decoders are too big (e.g. evaporators, locomotive plug) can be switche das well as for the using frog polarization, switchable siding, garden lighting or much more where galvanic isolation is required.
He offers various programmable functions like flashing, pairwise flashing and over 16 other effects (18 in total). This includes simulations such as TV, Neon, Petroleum, Welding, US lights and much more. The effects are great for street lamps, even entire streets, houses and much more.
The 6 turnout addresses can be independently programm and do not need each other be following. In addition to the usual CV programming also supports the module a programming switch to quickly get the addresses to be able to change.
The module supports DCC and Motorola, so this decoder can be used universally.

Programming lock

To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock. Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes automatically also CV 15. With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.
STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 75
Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV read & write and register-mode and programming switch.
There will be no extra load for
programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported. The decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.
NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center POM to specific decoder adresses (e.g. Massoth° control panels)

Programming binary values

Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled function has always the value 0.
EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this, you must set the value in CV 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.

Programming switch adress

Switch addresses consist of 2 values. For addresses < 256 the value can be directly in address low. The high address is 0. If the address is > 255 this is as follows (for example address 2000):
2000 / 256 = 7,81, address high is 7 2000 — (7 x 256) = 208, address low is then 208.

About the programming button:
Clock on the switch button during operation, the STATUS LED will alternate in 1 sec. clocking.
Switch on the desired control unit on the control unit switch address, then the LED will be cleared. In order to the address has been accepted correctly and all 6 outputs are numbered.
If the button will pressed again without sending a command, the operation will be canceled.

Reset functions

The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose. Write with the following values:
11 (basic functions)
16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
33 (switch outputs)
