TSU-1000 works on analog (DC)?

Will a locomotive with a TSU-1000 SoundTraxx decoder run on DC as received (i.e. factory settings) or do I have to program that feature in by resetting CV-29?

Hi,

It should just operate the same as an analog locomotive when under DC power without programming. The decoder should recognize the absence of AC current/binary signals from the console and switch to DC mode automatically. My suggestion would be to try it first at a low DC voltage, it shouldn’t hurt anything in the decoder. Good Luck! :slight_smile:

Yes, you have to,. I have had to.

Add 4 to whatever value you already have for CV29.

A value of 6 will enable DC operation and set the decoder for 28/128 speed steps. This is usually the factory default.
