Feedback - S88N. I have some old Gold decoders that have numbers varying from 1 to 8.Hi Tony...........wow, thanks for all them. Feedback S88N DIY. Throttle will issue an "emergency stop" packet to the current decoder. When I have called them they have been very helpful and knowlegable.You can E mail them or call 01280 701410 They usually open at 10am. This is confirmed on some German forums. Like i said, it only happens with some of my more recent Lenz+ version decoders.I contacted A & H Models today and the gentleman didn't appear to be aware of this problem or of a firmware fix. As do all my other decoders from other makers.Yes, that's what i meant, The loco should slow to a halt then accelerate in the opposite direction not suddenly stop.I have 8 Lenz decoders, two older Lenz Silver which behave ok, 4 Silver21+, 2 behave ok, 2 don't, a Silvermini+ which is OK and a SilverDirect+ which isn't.Apparently this is documented on some German forums and it is suggested that the offending decoders are returned to Lenz for a Firmware upgrade.I'll be contacting the UK agent (A & H Models) tomorrow to see if they can do the firmware upgrade.If my memory serves me correctly....every lenz decoder I have ever used performs the same way. What I could do with knowing is what each version number refers to. Please note that not all Lenz command control products are Lenz is an electronics company, whose involvement in command control began in the 1980s as a contractor to In the early 2000s, Lenz decided to rename their products from Set 01 and Set 02 to Set 90 and Set 100 respectively.

Pioniertaten: Digital plus. Manual in German, English and French. Either that or spend £100+ on a Lenz decoder programmer. I.E. LE10310-02: 10310-02 Silver mini + with wires: Lenz 10310-02 "Silver Mini+" 0.5/0.8A with cables.

if you hit the reverse direction button while the loco is still under power, it is like hitting the emergency stop, but for just that loco. Power 1- USP Storage device for Gold Series Decoders: Power 3- USP Storage device for Gold Series Decoders: SILVER+ MP: SILVER21+ SILVERmini+ : STANDARD+ : Accessory Decoders: LS100: LS150 : DCC Modules: BM-1: BM-2: BM-3: LA150: LB101: LK200: LR101 ( … The electronics and software are much improved in the Set 90 and Set 100. I'm using a NCE Power Pro system and tried your suggestion (selecting speed step zero and then change direction), but it still stops dead the instant the direction button is pressed. My throttle (NCE) has a separate 'emergency stop' button so having the same with the direction would only duplicated the function.I'm sending one of the decoders to A&H tomorrow to see if a firmware upgrade fixes it.Thanks for your posting and suggestion of the Americian verse European modus operandi. I have a big red button on the layout to stop the whole lot.Ah. I have always been very pleased with Lenz decoders for many years, so I have quite a range and would recommend them to anyone. I.E. If you change direction with the offending firmware instead of slowing to a halt and then reversing it comes to an abrupt stop regarless of the momentum CV settings.I have 3 like this that will have to be sent back for a firmware upgrade, a real pain as thier in Bachmann 2epb's which are a job to open up. Result, the decoder slows following CV4, changes direction, then accelerates following CV3 to the set speed.Now, Ray has found some Lenz decoders which appear to be faulty if used on controllers which exhibit behaviour B. 7:04. I can only live in hope, as this problem mucks up the computer control (Rocrail) of my layout.If worse comes to worse i'll have to ditch the offending decoders and go back to TCS ones which don't have any of these anomalies.Looks like there are some inconsistancies maybe depending on which system you use.
