Frequently Asked Questions - 60987 Märklin

How to install the Märklin 60987 decoder in my locomotive?

Disconnect the power, open the hood, locate the motor and power wires, and solder the decoder following the wiring diagram provided in the manual. Make sure the direction of travel is respected.

Is the 60987 decoder compatible with DCC command stations?

Yes, it is compatible with standard DCC command stations, but it is optimized for the Märklin Digital (M4) system. Check that your command station supports Motorola or DCC protocol.

How to program the decoder addresses?

Use a Märklin command station or a programmer. In CV mode, set the short address via CV1 (1-127) or the long address via CV17 and CV18. Consult the manual for exact values.

The decoder no longer responds, what to do?

Check the connections, track power, and that the decoder is not short-circuited. Perform a factory reset by programming CV8=8.

What are the available functions (F1-F4)?

F1: front light; F2: rear light; F3: smoke generator (if present); F4: coupler (depending on equipment). Assignments can be customized.

Can I use this decoder for a DC locomotive?

The 60987 is designed for Märklin AC systems, but can operate on DC if the internal electronics are adapted. Consult the manual or a technician.

What is the maximum current supported by the decoder?

The maximum motor current is 1.0 A. Do not exceed this value to avoid damaging the decoder.

How to clean the decoder?

Functions

The mSD SoundDecoder is a sound decoder with very extensive setting and adaptation possibilities. Additional sound functions are available. This decoder can be updated. An appropriate control device is required for this (60213/60214/60215 Central Station CS2 with software version 4.0 or higher, 60216/60226 CS3 and/or 60971 Programmer).

The settings and digital functions can only be used in digital operation. However, the same possibilities are not available in all protocols.

These instructions describe the installation and the possible settings for the 60985,90976 and 60987 decoders. Unless otherwise stated, the functions refer to both decoders.

- Capable of multi-protocols (fx (MM), mfx, DCC, and AC/DC).

• Automatic system recognition. The address assigned to each system must be used for operation.
• Acceleration and braking delay can be set separately from each other. Any function button desired can be assigned using the function mapping.
• Typical sound backdrops for diesel and electric locomotives are included.
• Variable motor feedback control is available in digital as well as in analog operation.
• 6090, 60901, DC, and can motors with bell-shaped armatures are supported. With Sine motors, the values in CV 52 must be set to 1, in CV 56 to 0 (see CV table). Set CV 51 either to 24 or 0. In addition, you must map Aux 3 and Aux 4 respectively for Status (S) and Running (F) with the Central Station or the 60971 Programmer.
• Function mapping included. See Help in the Central Station (60213/60214/60215/60216/60226) or a detailed table to function mapping can be found on the Internet at: http://www.maerklin.de/de/service/technische-informationen
• This unit can be updated with the 60213/60214/60215 CS2 (software version 4.0 or higher), the 60216/60226 CS3, or with the 60971 Programmer.
• Programming on the Main (PoM) this type of programming must be supported by the controller. Please note the instructions for your controller when doing this.
• Switching range can be set.
• Braking / signal stopping block recognition is available in digital operation.
  • Automatic calibration of a locomotive with CV 7 (mfx, DCC, MM).

Decoder Installation

The locomotive must be checked before installing the decoder to make sure that it (locomotive) is in good mechanical and electrical condition. There are situations when the locomotive will have to be repaired before installing the decoder.

First unsolder the wires to the current pickups (pickup shoe(s)), motor, and the lights. After that remove the old decoder or reverse unit. Screw down the circuit board retainer and solder the wires to the motor connections, pickup(s), and any functions.

The colors for the wires correspond to the NEM; see Page 28 for a comparison table for Märklin Standard.

If the lights are grounded to the locomotive's or powered rail car's ground on the frame, we recommend that the lights be insulated from the locomotive ground. To do this, use the E604180 plug-in bulb holder(s) and E610080 light bulb(s). This will give you flicker-free lighting.

If your locomotive or powered rail car is equipped with LED lighting, then series resistors must absolutely be installed. Series resistors differ according to the current the design. Find out the correct values for your LEDs. You may have to ask your specialty dealer about this.

If you want to retrofit your locomotive or powered rail car with LEDs, the cathodes (-) on the LED are connected to the light output on the decoder. Don't forget series resistors! The anodes (+) are connected to the common wire (orange).

The common ground return (orange) must not be connected to the ground for the locomotive or powered rail car.

Locomotives or powered rail cars with NEM 8-pin connector.

Solder the wires to the correct solder pads according to the diagram above. The brown wire with the ends of speaker wire is soldered and insulated.

When installing the decoder in models with a sine motor the wires for connections Aux 3 and Aux 4 may not be used.

Insert the plug into the connector while paying attention to the positioning. Place the model, with the body left off, on the programming track and test it. If the decoder works with no problems, the body can be put on the locomotive.

This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or areas of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes alternating current or direct current voltage (AC/DC) and automatically adapts to the analog track voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC for analog operation are active (see Digital Operation).

Digital Operation

The mSD sound decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders can be used under the following digital protocols: mfx, DCC, fx (MM).

The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in descending order is:

Priority 1: mfx

Priority 2: DCC

Priority 3: fx (MM)

Note: Digital protocols can influence each other. For trouble-free operation, we recommend deactivating those digital protocols not needed by using CV 50. Deactivate unneeded digital protocols at this CV if your controller supports this function.

If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest order digital protocol, example: mfx/DCC; the decoder takes on the mfx digital protocol (see previous table).

Note: Please note that not all functions are possible in all digital protocols. Several settings for functions, which are supposed to be active in analog operation, can be done under mfx and DCC.

Braking / Signal Stopping Block (MM, fx, mfx)

The braking module essentially applies DC voltage to the track. If the decoder recognizes a DC voltage of this kind in the track, it brakes with the delay that has been set. If the decoder recognizes a digital protocol again, it accelerates at the speed that has been set.

If automatic recognition in braking areas is to be used, we recommend shutting the DC operation off (see CV description). In DCC operation setting the value in CV 27 to 16 or 32 (see CV table).

Automatic Calibration for All Protocols

- The type of motor must be selected (see CV 52) before calibration.

- Automatic calibration of a locomotive must be done on a suitable oval of track without obstacles (signals, grades, etc.). We recommend an oval of track with curves larger than 430 mm / 17" in radius. The locomotive is accelerated to the maximum speed and can therefore derail on smaller radius curves. Go into the locomotive configuration on the Central Station->CV->Info for automatic calibration of the locomotive. In the field Firmware version, overwrite the first digit with 77. In the protocols MM/DCC, enter CV 7 directly in the configuration mode. Overwrite the value displayed there with the number 77 and store it in the locomotive.

Enter a speed with the speed control knob. Now the locomotive starts slowly, accelerates to the fastest speed, and then stops after a short while. After that, the locomotive tries several times to start up. If the locomotive finally remains at a standstill, the calibration process has ended.

No other operations should be done during the entire process.

The calibration process can be stopped with the "Stop" button, by turning the speed control knob, by changing the direction of travel. The process must be repeated after such a termination.

If the results of the calibration process are not satisfactory, calibration can be repeated with another type of motor. The process can be repeated more than once. If the test run does not give the desired result, you can adjust individual parameters manually in the motor parameters. (MM/DCC see CV tables, mfx in Locomotive Configuration in the Central Station -> CV -> Motor). The beginning and the end of the test run is indicated by the following light symbols.

Activated (Enter the value 77)
Start of the test run(Speed Level >1)
End of the test run
Termination or Interruption

mfx Protocol

Addresses

• No address is required; each decoder is given a one-time, unique identifier (UID).
• The decoder automatically registers itself on a Central Station or a Mobile Station with its UID.

Programming

• The characteristics can be programmed using the graphic screen on the Central Station or also partially with the Mobile Station.
• All of the Configuration Variables (CV) can be read and programmed repeatedly.
• The programming can be done either on the main track or the programming track.
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
• Function mapping: Functions can be assigned to any of the function buttons with the help of the 60212 Central Station (with limitations) and with the 60213/60214/60215/60216/60226 Central Station (See help section in the Central Station).

fx (Motorola) Protocol

Addresses

• 4 addresses (a main address and 3 consecutive addresses)
- Address range:
1 - 255 depending on the controller / central controller
- The main address can be programmed manually.
- The consecutive addresses can be turned on, turned off, set and can be programmed manually or automatically.
- All 16 functions can be controlled by means of the four addresses.

Programming

• The characteristics can be programmed for the decoder can be programmed repeatedly using the programming for the Configuration Variables (CV). Reading the CVs is not possible.

• The CV numbers and the CV values are entered directly.

• Program the CVs only on the programming track.

• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
  • 14 or 27 speed levels can be programmed.
• The first four functions and the lights can always be controlled by means of the first address; additional functions can be used, depending on the consecutive addresses.
• All of the settings from the function mapping for mfx or DCC programming are taken on for fx (Motorola).
• Automatic recognition corresponding to the active additional or consecutive addresses. What is recognized is whether the function can be turned on or off continuously by means of a consecutive address. This function mapping can only be determined in the mfx or DCC protocol.
• See the CV description for the fx protocol for additional information.

DCC Protocol

Addresses

• Short address – long address – multiple unit address
• Address range:

1 - 127 for short address and multiple unit address,

1 - 10239 for long address

• Every address can be programmed manually.
• A short or a long address is selected using the CVs.
• A multiple unit address that is being used deactivates the standard address.

Programming

• The characteristics can be changed repeatedly using the Configuration Variables (CV).
• The CV numbers and the CV values are entered directly.
• The CVs can be read and programmed repeatedly. (Programming is done on the programming track.)
• The CVs can be programmed in any order desired. (Programming can be done on the main track PoM). The PoM can only be done with those designated in the CV table. Programming on the main track PoM must be supported by your central controller (Please see the description for this unit.).
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
  • 14/28 or 126 speed levels can be set.
• All of the functions can be controlled according to the function mapping (see CV description).
• See the CV description for the DCC protocol for additional information.

We recommend that in general programming should be done on the programming track.

Physical Functions

Each of these functions must be connected externally to the circuit board. We therefore speak of physical functions. A unique mode/effect can be assigned to each physical output (AUX / lights) in digital operation. Three CVs are available for each output for this purpose. Only one mode/effect can be set for each output. A complete table for this can be found on the Internet at:

Since these functions are only executed by software, no physical output is required for them. We therefore speak here of a logic function.

Acceleration/Braking Delay

• The acceleration and braking time can be set separately from each other.
• The logic function ABV can be assigned to any function button by using the function mapping.

Switching Range (RG)

- The switching range causes a reduction in the current speed of the locomotive. This allows a fine touch in the controlling the locomotive. The switching range can be assigned in mfx and DCC to any function button by using the function mapping.

Station Announcement

The locomotive does not go until after the announcement has ended.

Opening Doors / Closing Doors

The locomotive does not start running as long as the function "opening doors / closing doors" is active. The locomotive starts accelerating according to the ABV that has been set/activated only when the function has been deactivated and the sound has ended.

Decoder functions and CV settings

The following pages have the functions and the CVs presented in tabular form. These CVs can be given a number of settings and can be assigned to a number of function buttons.

You will find the CVs and their applications for the fx (MM) and DCC protocols in separate tables.

In the mfx protocol, you can set the CVs with ease by means of the display for the CS 2 (Software Version 4.0 and higher) / CS 3. You or your dealer may have to install an update on your 60213/60214/60215 Central Station.

We recommend following the procedures that are shown and described.

Volume

mfx protocol: The total volume for the sound functions can be changed easily with the 60213/60214/60215/60216/60226 Central Station in the CV menu "Sound". The function mapping (assigning the function buttons) and the individual volume settings are done with the function buttons. The sound number is required for the function mapping.

fx protocol: In the fx protocol only the total volume can be changed with CV 63. It is not possible to change the individual volumes. However, settings done under mfx are preserved.

DCC protocol: To change the individual sound volume must be 31 CV changed to the value 16 and CV 32 to 0 before. The sound number is required for the function mapping and for the assignment of the CVs to the sound.

Troubleshooting.

When operating with different protocols you may have problems in each mode at the same time. – We recommend reducing the number of protocols. Deactivate protocols in the locomotive decoder that are not needed and also deactivate if possible protocols in the central controller that are not needed.

The locomotive jerks and falters – Check the CV setting for motor variations, change if necessary, or carry out a reset to the factory settings.

The locomotive does not run in analog. - The automatic analog recognition is deactivated and must be activated again (see CV table).

The locomotive (decoder) does not react. – Check the wiring and the solder joints, redo if necessary. Check the connector for the decoder to make sure it has permanent contact and check the way it was installed.

mfx/DCC operation: Locomotives standing on the layout start running suddenly during mfx registration. – Deactivate the automatic analog recognition on these locomotives.

The locomotive does not run. – The function "open doors / close doors" is still active. Turn off the function "close doors"; after the sound ends the locomotive will run according to the ABV that has been set.
