NCE EB1 User Manual - page 4
Two ways to setup the
EB1:
Method 1:
Any DCC system that has OPs mode programming (Program On the M
ain) for
locomotives
can program
CVs .
Whenever the “SETUP” shunt is installed t
he
EB1
will respond to loco
OPS mode programming no matter what locomotive address is used. We recommend
choosing an address that is not in use on your layout (we use 9999). Remember that the
shunt must be installed to use this method of setting
CVs.
Do not forget to remove the
shunt when done programming
.
Method 2:
If you have an NCE (or other system) that supports
OP
s mode programming of
accessories
you can program
CVs without having to install the “SETUP” shunt.
The
EB1
comes from the factory preprogrammed to the accessory address of 2044 (the
accessory broadcast address).
To change the address:
Install the “SETUP” shunt
Press SELECT
ACCY on your controller
Type in the new address you want to
EB1
to use followed by ENTER
Press 1 (for NORMAL) when prompted on your controller
Remove the shunt
The
EB1
will now respond to Accessory Pr
ogramming at the address you just programmed.
You
will not
need to install the shunt again to program
CVs when using PROGRAM
ACCESSORIES mode on an NCE system.
Fine Tuning the
EB1
CV129
- Adjustment of short circuit response time (if necessary):
You can adjust the time delay between the occurrence of a short circuit and the time the track
actually gets shut down. The
EB1
comes factory set to
16mS (16 milliseconds = 16
tho
usandths of a second). This setting has been chosen because it can be used without
problem o
n most layouts. You can lengthen this delay from
16ms
(1/60th
second) out to
512mS
(1/2 second). P
rogram
CV12
9 to the number of milliseconds (divided by 16) you
desire between
16mS and
500mS.
A value of 1 =
16mS,
a value of 32 =
512
mS,
etc.
CV130
- Adjustment of short circuit shutdown time (if necessary):
You can adjust the time the track power stays off after a short circuit is detected. The
EB1
comes factory set to 2 seconds
. This setting has been chosen because it can be used
without problem o
n most layouts. You can change this delay from
16mS
to 4
seconds.
Program
CV130
to the number of milliseconds (divided by 16) you desire
.
A value of 1 =
16mS, a value of 128= 2 seconds, 256 = 4 seconds
, etc.
CV131 - Manual reset enable.
If
CV131
is set to 0 the manual reset is disabled and the
EB1
will automatically try to turn on
track power after a short circuit. If
CV131
is set to 1 the
EB1
will not automatically restore
track power after a short circuit until a connection (usually with a pushbutton) is made
between terminals 1 and 2 of the four position terminal strip. You can also turn the track
power back on by selecting the accessory address and setting the acce
s sor y to ON (also
known as Normal, Thrown or +) .
