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.

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.

Product description

The mXion DFM is an universal one fire module with real realistic fire for analogue and digital operation.
In digital mode are also still div. options and settings available.
So, in addition tot he controller over turnout or loco adresses too. The control over one random generator done. Via CV49 you can choose between wood/coal firing or oil  firing be switched. There is also the possibility of a glut simulation too.
These functions go also in analog mode.
It’s also possible to connect to an existing decoder.
Due to the small dimensions fits the module behind each boiler one track G locomotive as it not only very small but also extremely flat. It can, however place in a campfire or  around other applications find fire simulation space.
It’s possible to connect a buffer as well.

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 = 200 Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV read & write and register-mode.
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

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.
Programm these values into the switch CVs CV120/121.

Programming loco adress
Locomotives up to 127 are programmed directly to CV 1. For this, you need CV 29 Bit 5 „off“ (will set automaticly).
If larger addresses are used, CV 29 – Bit 5 must be „on“ (automaticly if change CV 17/18). The address is now in CV 17 and CV 18 stored. The address is then like follows  (e.g. loco address 3000):
3000 / 256 = 11,72; CV 17 is 192 + 11 = 203.
3000 – (11 x 256) = 184; CV 18 is then 184.
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 (function and switch outputs)
