1 INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on your purchase of the Revolution DCC wireless system.
The Revolution-DCC system can be used with any existing NMRA compliance standard decoders. This system
is very easy to use because it does not connect to any wire to the command station. It works with IEEE-801.15.4
standard 2.4GHz DSSS radio frequency band for ultimate stability and interference free operation even with the
same frequency channel.
Unlike conventional DCC products, you do not have to remember the complex DCC address of the Locomotive
or Accessory numbers. You only need to select the CAB # or ACEES CONT # whose Loco or Accessory name
and the DCC address number will be displayed on the TX main LCD screen. The DCC program to the decoder is
very simple, and it is also very convenient because you can read the CV data or DCC address value from the
decoder.
The locomotive and accessory profile data can be stored and recalled up to 2,500 profiles.
Since multiple transmitters can be used on the same layout, they can be used simultaneously with the other
members.
2 OPERATION OVERVIEW:
The Revolution DCC system lets you walk around your model railroad layout and remotely control your
DCC decoder equipped locomotive and DCC accessory such as switch turnouts. Before you start working with
the Revolution DCC System, there are a few concepts that you need to understand about the PROFILE NUM
[1-25]. Each profile number contains all the locomotive or accessory DCC data information to connect the DCC
decoders. Our Transmitter and Receiver are designed to communicate to the DCC decoder in your locomotives
or accessories.
The first concept is to establish a control between the transmitter, receiver and DCC decoder in the locomotive.
You need to set up some basic parameters that define the locomotive or accessory name, DCC address and
other parameters to set the PROFILE NUM [1-25]. Once these parameters are set, you just need to remember
the name of locomotive or accessories. Forget the complex DCC address and other parameters.
The second concept has to do with the Cab and Accessory Assignment once you set parameters to the
PROFILE NUM[1-25].
You must add the PROFILE NUM [n] that the locomotive or accessory will run under the Cab number. Cab
Numbers range from CAB-1 through CAB25. This allows you to easily move between as many as 25 cab
numbers. There are 100 memory banks in the REVO-DCC Transmitter and each bank can store up to 25
profile numbers, so you will have a total of 2500 Locomotive and accessory profiles numbers. Once you
understand the REVO-DCC system it will be very easy to use and operate. All menus and setup will displayed on
the LCD screen in simple English text, so no user manual will be needed on hand.
Note: DCC programming modes
There are two primary modes of programming: programming Track (service mode) and
Main(Power On Main) programming mode. The programming track mode requires a programming
track which is isolated electrically. Refer to the wiring diagram in FIG-1 and FIG-3.
