Hi, my former dealer installed one in my 3511 back in the late 90's or early 2000's. It runs well, slight low buzz at low speed, goes away with higher speeds. I don't run her that much. I read on here by webmasterCrying that a c90 decoder will fry a Faulhaber motor. Is this deocder one?
Thank's in advance.

Märklin offered the 60905 decoder for the Faulhaber motors.
I don't know if the 60902 can be harmful to Faulhaber motors, but there must be some drawbacks, otherwise Märklin would not have made the 60905.
"c90" stands for the 6090 decoder.
Regards
Tom

Ok, thanks Tom! Dave was very good with electronics. If the 60905 had been out yet, he'd have put one in it. He was a former TV-hi-fi repair specialist. He added hobbies when solid state eliminated much of his business. He used an Intellibox back then, etc.

Hi
"I read on here by webmasterCrying that a c90 decoder will fry a Faulhaber motor. Is this deocder one?
Thank's in advance."
I made a try long time ago on the 3611 I have. You will not fry it but the speed curve will be "disappointing" (no slow speed).
This is because the rotor coils have no iron core so a totally unusual inductance value. This is a Glockeankermotor. The best there is but needs an adapted drive decoder.
A mLD3 or mSD3 (with Sound- 60975 for steam sounds) will allow to enter the motor type (CV52 = 4 for Bell armature / Glockenanker)

Then you can run the auto calibration using CV7
You must have selected the proper motor type beforehand
You must install the loco on a large diameter loop (it will go full speed for a moment)
Then write 77 into CV7
The loco will start slowly and faster possibly start and stop
After a while the auto calibration is finished
Cheers
Jean

He must have added a diode or resistor or something then, because I have great slow speed. I'll have a look beneath the decoder.

It creeps smoothly on speed step 1 on the CS3, towing 4 cars. There is a small board not original with only a single black/yellow/orange resistor under the decoder. Not sure if it's only for the led's.

A standard old 6090 will eventually fry the Faulhaber motor, due to its low frequency pulse rate on the motor drive that makes the motor coil basket rattle & vibrate more than healthy.
The 60902 is not a 6090. It is newer... Smile

There was eg 3711 Wuerttenberg C (and 37112 "Olympia") that was announced as 6090, but it had a special board with rectifiers and no EMF feedback for load control.

One of the first decoders that could have a higher frequency motor output was the LokPilot/Loksound decoder that could be set to 20KHz (or something like that) frequency for the motor feed.

The mfx decoders from M do have a high frequency motor output, as well as many other also have. The mSD versions are easily programmable too, as JohnJeanB says.

Thank you Johan! I wish my old dealer hadn't reired and closed. He was also knowledgable. I have a 37537 br 120 from 2004, with an 8 pin plug in decoder. No part number, no dip switches. It runs excellent, but the only sound function, a far distant low volume horn or whistle, and volume is not adjustable with a control unit. I'm curious if there is a plug in newer decoder with more sounds that can plug in without gutting the led board it plugs into. that part is 225 205. The speaker is a large round frame mounted 508 607.
