Error Report Rivarossi BR 96

Error:

The loco will not communicate via Intellibox using address 96

Cause:

The decoder was initially controlled in DCC mode and not in MM (Motorola Mode), other than that the Acceleration and Deceleration and the Motor settings (CV 4; 5; 50) were set very slow. By quick verification of the loco it created the appearance that it did not react. The less than perfect power contact of the loco on Maerklin tracks reinforced this perception (which can be improved by modifying the settings).

Solution

Decoder Address reprogrammed. Settings for Acceleration, Braking, Motor settings and Top speed have been reset as follows:

(See list)

Tips:
- Loco should be used in DCC 14/27. During loco selection, press Lok button, key in Lok number (do not press ENTER), then Menu and under Datenformat select DCC 14/27/28 and press ENTER
- Decoder settings (CV) can be changed with the intellibox as follows:
Press MODE, then MENU, then DCC Programming, RIGHT ARROW, CV BYTEWEISE, RIGHT ARROW, key in CV Value and press ENTER
The actual value can be read by pressing ENTER before any changes are made
-If you still wish to use MOTOROLA Mode, you must make changes to CV49 (see decoder instructions). The loco address must then be changed to be between 01 and 80
The loco is intended for use as a shunter with the original settings

This sounds like it was sent back to the factory with a "fault" because the owner had programmed some CVs badly. This is the repair report.
