V-Max Maximum Voltage-CV05

Why do my trains start moving at 25% throttle?You may need to adjust some CV valuesCheck the value of CV02, start voltage; the default setting is 0 (zero).  You may need to adjust this value.Check the value of CV03, acceleration rate; the default setting is also 0.  It is possible that the locomotive has been set for a slow acceleration rate.You can also adjust how each locomotive responds to throttle inputs by programming loadable speed tables or 3 step speed tables.If you decide to reset the decoder to factory default values , set CV08 to a value of 08 to reset the decoder back ...

Three Step Speed Table CV02 V-Start (Start Voltage) CV06 V-Mid (Mid Point Voltage) CV05 V-Max (Maximum Voltage)When you are using a throttle to control a locomotive, you will notice that as you increase and decrease the speed, the loco responds to the change in throttle settings according to the relationship between motor voltage applied and the throttle setting. This is called the throttle response curve. Decoders are shipped from the factory with a linear throttle response curve. This means that as you increase the throttle setting from 0 to full speed, the loco will look like the default curve in ...

Whoa!!!!!Each locomotive on your railroad has a mobile decoder which receives the command control signals from the command station and operates the locomotive motor accordingly.  The performance of mobile decoders can be adjusted by changing the Configuration Variables (CV's) of the decoder.  You can improve the speed performance of a locomotive by adjusting its start speed (CV02, V-Start), its mid-range speed (CV06, V-Mid) and its top speed (CV05 - V-Max).  You can also adjust the acceleration (CV03) and the deceleration (CV04).If the deceleration CV value you set for a particular loco is very large, this can make it look like ...

Q:  I am trying to setup 4 Kato locomotives 3 SD-70MACs and 1 C-44-9, all with DN 163K1B decoders.  I am using the loadable speed tables V in the programing manual that came with my Super Chief for a starting point. I have spent a few hours with limited success. Do have any suggestions that may help simplify this process? A:  Because the decoders and command control system are digital, the commands sent from the command station based on the CV settings in each locomotive are always the same. It is the locomotive mechanisms that are different. Even with three "identical" locomotives from ...
