Is there a reset on BLI diesels, to go from DCC to DC? thank you

If you bought it used, the previous owner may have set CV29 so it will only run on DCC. Out of the box, they should work on both.

CV29 is multi-function, and DC operation has a value of 4. Here is the complete table of values for CV29.

Bit Value Function

0 0 All functions off

0 1 Reverse direction

1 2 28/128 speed steps

2 4 DC Operation

3 8 Railcom

4 16 Complex speed curve

5 32 Long Address

The values in CV29 are additive. For example, if you wish to use the long address and DC operation, then CV29=36. If you want to use the long address but disable DC operation, then CV29=32.

Hope this helps.
