Cold Start
Engage F6 before F1. Otherwise, engine start up sounds can be operated as above.
Remember to disengage F key 6 before driving, unless you wish to use the special driving mode which is also assigned to F key 6 (see below)
On DCC, the sounds will respond to the throttle control in the following ways:
Automatic sequence
Select speed step 1. The engines will increase power to get the unit moving and will
continue acceleration sounds until they reach maximum permissible revs. At this point,
the engines will spool down ready to select 2nd gear. However, it will not be possible for
the gear to change until the model achieves a scale road speed of approximately 15 MPH
(around speed step 29) and so the engines will ‘idle’ between speed steps 1 and 28.
Similarly, to achieve the following gear change, the road speed must be approximately 27
Scale MPH (speed step 44), and 4th gear at 41 MPH (speed step 56). At this point
It will cruise at a steady engine power. These points are all contained within the
project, but the actual speed steps may vary slightly depending upon your controller.
In practice, this means that if you increase the speed steps to 56 in a smooth
progression, the unit will increase in speed and provide realistic acceleration and gear
change sounds.
Manual Intervention
If your layout does not have room for the full automatic sequence, the following options are available when idling sound is playing. (see also Deceleration below)
1. Engage F key 7. This will produce a constant engine cruise sound. (Disengage to return to idling)
2. Reduce speed step by one, using your throttle control and immediately increase
by one (or more). This will not have a visible effect on the road speed
but will instantly initiate a gear change and acceleration sound. Adjust speed accordingly.
Option 2 allows you to force gear changes as often as you wish, at any road speed.
Speed Restricted Movement with Sound
Occasionally, you may wish to move your model a short distance without the engines revving up to the change of gear point.
This special feature enables this.
Engage F Key 6 to restrict speed to speed step 40 (of 127). When you drive away, the engine sounds will change to match the movement.
Warnings
Do not leave wires connections bare if modifying wiring to fit your installation requirements. Always use heatshrink or other insulation. Bare wires kill decoders.
Speaker wires are not polarity sensitive but please ensure that they are well insulated as short circuits on the speaker outputs will blow the amplifier and this is not covered under warranty as it isn’t a manufacturing defect but is considered as mishandling.
Please be sure you are confident working in your locomotives and have the necessary skills to fit the decoders. If not, seek the services of a professional.
Troubeshooter
If decoder appears faulty at any time carry out a project reset setting CV8 to 8. This will restore your decoder to as shipped condition. It will also reset address to 3 again, original sounds will not be lost.
Warranty and Returns procedure
The warranty covers manufacturing defect or failure during correct use within the warranty period which is 1 year from date of purchase. See notes on Rail Exclusive packaging.
Zimo decoders do not have a “goof proof warranty”. This means that if the decoder fails as a result of operator error such as short circuiting outputs, overloading, pinched or uninsulated wire or other installation mistake then the resulting damage to the decoder is not covered.
Returns must be accompanied by the proof of purchase, or a suitable copy to prove decoder is still within the warranty period. A completed returns form (below) and a covering letter with your contact details and return address etc.
As a rule any decoder returned with no visible evidence of physical damage or burning to the decoder or no evidence of shoddy, damaged or uninsulated wiring or incorrect speaker attachment will be replaced straight away for you, by us, (Digitrains Ltd).
Any decoder sent back in poor condition with obvious burning or wiring damage will be unlikely to have ended up in that condition as a result of manufacturer’s defect. These decoders can be repaired though so all is not lost.
Zimo do operate a fixed fee reconditioning service that will repair a decoder to as new condition for £25.00. The return form’s last field to fill in gives you this option if you had an accident with your decoder. Just select option 2 at the end of the form and it will be understood that your decoder will go away for repair.
