Decoder Installation - Marklin Digital 60972 Manual Del Usario

• Capable of multi-protocols (fx (MM), mfx, DCC, and AC/DC).
• Automatic system recognition. The address assigned to each
system must be used for operation.
• Acceleration and braking delay can be set separately from
each other. Any function button desired can be assigned
using the function mapping.
• Variable motor feedback control is available in digital as well
as in analog operation.
• 6090, 60901, DC, and can motors with bell-shaped armatures
are supported. With Sine motors, the values in CV 52 must
be set to 1, in CV 56 to 0 (see CV table). Set CV 51 either to 24
or 0. In addition, you must map Aux 3 and Aux 4 respectively
for Status (S) and Running (F) with the Central Station or the
60971 Programmer.
• Function mapping included.See Help in the Central Station
(60213-60215) or a detailed table to function mapping can be
found on the Internet at:

• Can be updated with the CS2 (Software 4.0, track format
processor GFP 2.0 or higher).
• Programming on the Main (PoM) this type of programming
must be supported by the controller. Please note the instruc-
tions for your controller when doing this.
• Switching range can be set.
• Braking / signal stopping block recognition is available in
digital operation.
• Automatic calibration of a locomotive with CV 7 (mfx, DCC,
MM).

Decoder Installation

The locomotive must be checked before installing the decoder to
make sure that it (locomotive) is in good mechanical and electri-
cal condition. There are situations when the locomotive will have
to be repaired before installing the decoder.
Locomotives / Powered Rail Cars with a Connector
First unsolder the wires to the current pickups (pickup shoe(s)),
motor, and the lights. After that remove the old decoder or reverse
unit. Position the new decoder and solder the wires according to
the diagram nearby.
If the lights are grounded to the locomotive's or powered rail car's
ground on the frame, we recommend that the lights be insulated from
the locomotive ground. To do this, use the E604180 plug-in bulb holder(s)
and E610080 light bulb(s). This will give you flicker-free lighting.
If your locomotive or powered rail car is equipped with LED
lighting, then series resistors must absolutely be installed. Series
resistors differ according to the current the design. Find out the
correct values for your LEDs. You may have to ask your specialty
dealer about this.
If you want to retrofit your locomotive or powered rail car with
LEDs, the cathodes (-) on the LED are connected to the light output
on the decoder. Don't forget series resistors! The anodes (+) are
connected to the common wire (blue).
The common ground return (blue) must not be connected to the
ground for the locomotive or powered rail car.
This procedure is identical for the 60982 decoder and for the con-
nector board from the 60972 set. Make sure that you pay absolute
attention to the notes for the colors of the wires for each decoder.
