Sorry I am not replying to the interesting threads about 76xxxx signals but last Thursday I was rushed into hospital and have had to have a major op. Hope to be with you all soon. Charles. Edited by user 18 December 2013 11:21:24(UTC)

If the firmware is V3.0 there is no limitation to the number of 763XX V3.0 which can be connected directly to the CS2.
Is there a way to tell if the firmware on the platine is V3.0? Thank you, Hello et1, I do not know. However, if more than 7 763XX signals are connected to the CS2 and if some of them are not triggered, it means that some of them have a firmware < V3.0. JOEBEL

JOEBEL Thank you Joebel, I guess I will keep my 18 signals connected to my trusty CS1 (not reloaded) for the time being till I go to Germany again. Aloha, Elliott |

Hi Charles, We would appreciate some words on how you identify a v3 signal. Any sticker or marking on the device/box? Quote:
I have tried to move it onto a different base and use thats bases code put still no luck
When these devices came out the video and training that was around at the time was at pains to point out that the address logic was within the mast head and not the board. Of course the board has to be working in order to set the address into the masthead in the first place. |

Marklin Service sent me this:
"When the plug sockets on the urc board of the 76xxx signals have an black line or black checkmark, then the signals have the softwareversion 3.0."

Hello.
Both my friend and myself have looked at the PC boards and covers for any new parts or soldering. The only thing we can see is a black mark on the top of the white socket that you plug in the red/brown track power cables into.

I have to say I am over the moon with the signals. I am switching the cs on in the morning and the afternoon and in the evening and running through all the signals on the track plans and going to the memory page and running through all my routes. I say all but I just have 12 set up at the moment. I think I mentioned that 1 of the signals is dead I am sure it is in the mast itself. That signal is in the yard next to another signal so what I have done is to purchase 2 76372 masts and I am going to us them . That will give me 1 spare mast and 2 spare pc boards/ wiring looms just in case we have a mishap.
