Bowser C430
Posted by southernalco on Friday, July 1, 2016 9:06 AM

I have a Bowser C430 w/Loksound.  In  SS1 it is slow but rough and SS2 a little fast.  Is there a way to smooth out SS1 and slow down SS2 ?   I'm a Novice at this DCC stuff !!

From the Manual:
5.2.4.3. Automatic Adjustment

LokSound Select decoders have an Automatic Motor Tuning Feature. This feature will automatically adjust the Back-EMF in most cases. This is not meant to be a “cure all” solution. This will only get the settings close. There still may need to be some manual adjustments made.

In order to use this automatic adjustment you will first need to set CV 54 to a value of 0. Then put your locomotive on the layout and activate F1. Be sure to have plenty of clear space ahead of your locomotive. Your locomotive will quickly take off at full speed and gradually slow down to a stop while reading the motor responses. This will automatically set the load compensation in CVs 52, CV 53, CV 54, and CV 55. From here you can make any other manual adjustments if needed.
