Hi

I have just bought a Delta loco - Nr. 34612 (or earlier maybe?) RBB 460 'Le Lait' white with cows painted on it, and it arrived without the instructions in the box.

I opened it (thanks to the help of this forum) to see what the dip switches of the decoder are set to - to find its a "4" switch block - not the later 8 switch block.

This is the first time I have bought a 4 switch loco and without the instructions and the 'Code Table' in the back of it - I need to obtain a 4 switch code table.

Do any forum members have a table please or point me to one on Marklin site? Currently all 4 switches are set as 'on' (along the 1 - 4 numbered edge of the block) so it would be good to know what the current address is - but I need a code table to re set it if necessary.

All help appreciated thanks.

Greg

More likely they are all OFF.

Address Tables in Märklin FAQ - click "Anhang" (see bottom of page, fourth column for Delta addresses)

Normally the numbers are on the OFF side - and the other side should be marked ON. But they used different suppliers, so you cannot be absolutely sure.

Tip: toggle 1 and 4 and try address 24 - if it doesn't work, try address 56 on your controller (2 and 3 on).

All OFF should be the factory default.

Delta assignments with Digital (by address number):

Switches On/Address:
2-3-4 /02
1-3-4 /06
3-4 /08
1-2-4 /18
2-4 /20
1-4 /24
1-2-3 /54
2-3 /56
1-3 /60
3 /62
1-2 /72
2 /74
1 /78
1-2-3-4 /80

All switches off = analog

In analog mode it will work with a normal transformer. In digital mode, if it is set for analog, it will take off at full speed. If it is set for one of the above settings, it will only respond to the corresponding address.

It's a bit buggy - all switches off means "analogue", but it shows "80".
Switches 1, 3, 5, and 7 on (Delta: all on) means address 80, but it shows 00 in red.

It's a Märklin hack: address 80 is reserved for internal use, but "80" is displayed for address "00". So technically speaking, Web Dippsy shows the correct addresses (but with respect to 00 and 80 it does not match what Märklin manuals and Märklin devices are showing).

Edit: Web site was updated and bug was fixed. Thanks.

Yeah, its been awhile, have updated with the Marklin logic

Some people want this stuff on paper, some as an App (if you want buggy - waste your money on MaDipSwitch), for some a webpage (javascript) will do. I've been doing it my head for years.

The Web/Java option has become a bit more accessible with SmartDevice being always online (in the cloud ;-) ) making simple calculators in an App somewhat unnecessary. So it was worth a revisit. Thanks
