*Note- Instead of using CV3 and CV4, the decoder uses CV120 and CV121 as acceleration and
deceleration rates. So you can change its acceleration and deceleration rates without changing
CV3 or CV4 in your power decoder, if you already have these rates tailored for your locomotives
optimum performance.
ADDRESS PROGRAMMING
T
he “MRC Sounder” comes with a factory default address of #3, and 28 speed steps. If your
locomotive has a different address, and speed step already programmed into it, place the
locomotive, with decoder and MRC Sounder installed, on your program track and
re-program
it
to the address you had originally programmed it to. While it is on the program track, also
re-
program
the locomotive to the speed step of your choice, (14-28/128). Since the decoder does
not have a motor driver, you can’t read back its CV.
