DR4018 DIGISWITCH (v1.2)

Quick start

Follow these steps to start using your decoder as an 8-channel switching decoder straight away.

Give the module an address

The DR4018 module first needs an address to be able to communicate with your control unit.

The module comes as standard with address "1" and set up as a switching decoder using DCC format.

Step 1

Connect both the POWER + SIGNAL to the rails or tracks output on your control unit.

Step 2

Set your control unit to the starting address you want to give the module.

Step 3

Press the program button on the module until the red LED remains on.

Step 4

Now switch your control unit to the selected address.

Step 5

If the module is connected correctly, the LED will go off when you select the address.

Step 6

The first output (OUT1) has now received the selected address. All subsequent OUT outputs are

given an address 1 number higher.

Example: The module is programmed to address 56. OUT1 is given the address 56, OUT2 gets

address 57, OUT3 number 58 etc.

Because the decoder is multiprotocol and supports DCC and Marklin Motorola, selecting a switching address

should also select the protocol. When the decoder receives a switching command as per the steps above, the de-

coder identifies which protocol was used and stores this in its memory.

IMPORTANT!

In DCC mode you can select any starting address and the module will automatically give the subsequent outputs

an address that is one higher.

The Motorola protocol works with groups of 8 numbers. This means you cannot chose a starting address from

within a block. For example: address 1 through 8, 9 through 16, 17 through 24 etc.

Reset the module to factory settings using POM programming

Use this method to reset the module to factory settings using POM programming.

Step 1 :

Connect the signal input on the decoder to the rails output on your control unit.

Step 2 :

Ensure the module is receiving power via the module's power input.

(You can also connect the power and signal inputs to each other)

Step 3 :

Set your control unit to POM programming mode.

(You can find more information about the POM mode in your control unit's manual)

Step 5 :

Choose local address 9999 on your control unit.

Step 6 :

Press the button on the module until the LED goes on.

Step 7 :

Then program decimal value 8 in CV8.

Step 8 :

Press the button on the module until the LED goes out.

Step 9 :

It is important when carrying out a RESET that the module is now disconnected from the power.

Disconnect both the power and the signal inputs and wait for 3 to 5 seconds.

Step 10:

The decoder can now be reconnected to the power and will have returned to the factory settings.

BE CAREFUL! The decoder now has address 1 again.
