Lenz Compact Digital Plus

Note: The R8215 is a competitively priced DCC decoder offering four functions. The CVs supported are:

Programming Procedure.

1. Check Section 11.3 of the Compact manual.

2. When you get to Step 3 of the programming procedure, please go directly to Step 5. If you attempt to carry out Step 4 of the procedure you will receive an error message (Er2). This is normal. It is not possible to read back decoder values from the R8215. This is not a fault and not a requirement of the NMRA.

3. Complete the programming procedure as directed in the manual.

Notes

Using the above procedure you may also programme the R8215 decoder’s CVs i.e. 3 and 4. (Acceleration / Deceleration.) The Compact controller recognises the CVs of the R8215 Hornby Decoder as “Registers”. (See below).. For more information regarding Programming Registers please refer to Section 11.3 and 11.4 of the Compact manual.

Register 1 corresponds to CV1
Register 3 corresponds to CV3
Register 4 corresponds to CV4
Register 5 corresponds to CV29

CV 29 is dealt with slightly differently as it is used for the detailed setting of the decoders functionality. The Hornby decoder supports CV29 bits 1 and 2. i.e. default loco direction and speed stepping. When programming CV29 simply enter the equivalent decimal number to the binary number required.
