FAQ

How do I reset the decoder to factory settings?
To reset the decoder to factory settings, input an 8 in CV8 or an 08 in Register 08.
What is the default address setting for the decoder?
The default address setting for the decoder is 03 for both DCC/NMRA and Motorola** operations.

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of a ROCO Locomotive with a built-in Sound decoder. At last with Soundde-coder your locomotives will sound just like the proto-type. You will soon notice that locomotives equipped with Sound decoders are always the center of attention. The decoders are supplied with the address setting ”03” (both for NMRA/DCC and also for Motorola).
The reset facility is convenient: You can call up the original factory values again at any time both in DCC and in Motorola operation. To do this write an 8 in CV 8 or an 08 in Register 08 (see „Possible settings in DCC digital operation“ CV 8 or “Pos-sible settings in Motorola** digital operation“, ). Please note the following warnings:

Sound decoders may only be used with model railways.
Avoid jolts and exerting pressure on the decoder and do not expose it to moisture.
The decoder installed in your ROCO locomotive has been specifically adapted for this locomotive and must be used only in this particular locomotive.
Always disconnect the power supply to the decod-er before doing any work on it.
Should it be necessary to remove the loudspeaker for maintenance work, handle the loudspeaker extremely carefully: do not put any pressure on it.

Characteristics of the Sound Decoders
Multi-protocol operation:
The Sounddecoder understands and automatically recognizes both the widely used Märklin*/Motorola format and also the NMRA/DCC system-based format.
The decoder**

Can run on direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) analog (sound possible)
is load-regulated: in digital operation, the speed is maintained at the same regulator setting up and downgrade and with different train loads,
has overload protection for all function outputs,
Recognises braking sections from Rocco as well as systems from Zima, Lenz, and Märklin*

Preset address

DCC/NMRA: 03
Motorola**: 03

Analogue Operation

When operated with a conventional transformer, the locomotive performs like a locomotive without a decoder. However, the locomotive will begin to move only after a control voltage of 5 to 5.5 Volts (DC) or 8 to 8.5 Volts (AC) has been reached because the decoder requires a certain minimum voltage simply to operate. Sound functionality is possible during analog operation and begins at approx. 4.5V (DC) or 6.5V (AC).

In DC operation trouble-free running with pulse-width or phase-control controllers cannot be guaranteed.
In AC operation the control knob is turned to the left through the zero position as usual to change the running direction: keep the regulatory knob pressed down for about half a second to ensure that the reversing command has been reliably identified! The locomotive should first have come to a standstill in every case.

Activate or deactivate the desired sound functions via the CV13/CV17 (only possible with a digital system).

The most important CV’s
For the preset factory values please see the information sheet enclosed with the locomotive or decoder.
Notice: For the Lokmaus®, the CVs and the corresponding values from 0 – 99 are programmable. For the MULTIMAUS®, the CVs from 1 – 256 and the corresponding values from 0 – 255 are pro-grammable.

Changes can be made to the CVs with the MULTI-MAUS®or with other DCC control devices.
Possible Settings in Motorola
Digital Operation
Before using the Sounddecoder in Motorola digital operation the dip switches 1 and 2 at the back of the Märklin* 6021 base station must be set to “ON“. To ensure that this change-over is effective, the base station must be reset (press the “Stop“ and “Go“ keys simultaneously until the display goes out and “99“ appears briefly, then press “Stop“ separately and “Go“ again). An additional direction arrow in the display indicates that operation is currently in the Motorola new format required here.
For the Intellibox the address used must also be specified in the “Motorola new format“ for the sound operation of the decoder.
The Registers correspondent with the CV’s
For the preset factory values please see the informa-tion sheet enclosed with the locomotive or decoder.
For programming the Motorola** Register

the drive controller should be set to “0”
remove all locomotives from the layout except those you wish to program or place the locomotive to be programmed on the Intellibox programming track (the addresses must be set to the Motorola** new format on the Intellibox; programming takes place under the Intellibox instructions for DCC decoders.
Please observe the flashing of the lights during programming.

*Märklin6021**

1| Trigger a reset (press “Stop“ and “Go“simultaneously for a few seconds).
---|---
2| Switch off power to rails (“Stop“)
3| Enter a two-digit locomotive address or “80“
4| Press the travel direction selector , keep depressed, and also press “Go“ :

The decoder is in the programming mode and is waiting for the register number to be entered: short flash at long intervals.

5| Enter a two-digit register number (CV).
6| Press travel direction selector :

The decoder is waiting for a value to be entered: a combination of long/short tones in quick succession. short double flashing at long intervals.

7| Enter a two-digit value.
8| Press travel direction selector :

The decoder first confirms the value has been entered with a long glow This is followed by short flashing at long intervals as it waits for a new register number to be re-entered.

9| Either reprogram the desired next register with steps No. 5 to 8 or enter “80“ for the end of programming.
10| Press travel direction selector

Please note that the Märklin* 6021 only allows you to enter the values 01 to 79. The value 0 does not appear. Instead of „00“ the value „80“ must be entered instead.
*Programming with the Märklin Mobile Station
Attention!*
Only Märklin locomotives are included in the Mär-klin Mobile Station Databank.
For docking Roco Locomotives in the Märklin-Mobile Station, use one of the two universal numbers 36330/37962. They are to be set this way:
Dock the locomotive in the databank:

The knob must be set to 0.
Press the ESC button.
Turn the knob to the menu option (“New Locomotive”).
Press the knob.
Turn the knob to the menu option (“Databank”).
Press the knob.
Choose one of the two universal numbers with the knob (we recommend starting with 36330)
Press the knob

Setting the Correct Address

Press the ESC button
Move to the menu option (Change Locomotive”) with the knob
Press the knob.
Choose the menu option (“Address”)
Press the knob.
Choose the address of the locomotive
Press the knob.

In the case that the locomotive does not run, erase the locomotive from the databank:

Press the ESC button
Choose the menu option (Erase Locomotive)
Press the knob
Press the knob again to confirm

Repeat the steps
Repeat the steps “Dock the Locomotive in the data bank” (1-8) and “Setting the Correct Address” (1-7) Should there still be problems, delete the locomotive from the databank again.
Repeat the steps
“Dock the Locomotive in the databank” (1-8), except that at step 5 you go to the menu option (“Address”), and at step 7 you should set the address of your locomotive.
Look for the desired symbol with the knob, and confirm your choice with the knob.
The functions F1 – F4 can be accessed with the 4 left side buttons on the Mobile Station. The top button is for function F1. However, the activated functions cannot be shown in the display.
Technical Help and Support
If you are not able to solve your particular problem, you should first consult the dealer where you bought your decoder or your ROCO locomotive. There you should find experienced help for all questions about your model railway.

Attention!
At an incorrect use there exists the danger of hurting because of cutting edgesand tips.
