Tips and Tricks
Some Märklin locomotives can’t be controlled
Older Märklin decoders (6080 and Delta decoders) can only be controlled with the
Intellibox if the red wire from the centre pick up is connected to the rail.

Old and new Märklin function decoders
The Panorama car and the Märklin Digital remote control rotary crane (7051+7652), are
controlled with the old Motorola protocol, using f1-f4 functions. They are not able to operate
with the new Märklin-Motorola protocol.

New Märklin locomotives with the Märklin decoder 60901 and Uhlenbrock decoders (755,
756, 760 75100, 75400, 75420) use the new protocol for switching f1 to f4. They ignore
signals that are sent in the protocol.

The Light cannot be switch on a DCC decoder
The decoder has 28 Speed steps but the Intellibox II is set to DCC with 14 Speed steps for
this address.
this address.
Problems controlling the lights in DCC decoders
If the locomotive lights no longer respond to the [function] key, it’s most likely that the
decoder is configured for 28 operating levels while the Intellibox expect 14/27 speed steps
for that locomotive address. To solve this situation, change (in the Intellibox) the
configuration of the relevant decoder address to 28 operating levels.

configuration of the relevant decoder address to 28 operating levels.
Remember that NMRA standards impose the following specifications for CV #29:
14 and 27 speed steps
CV#29 Bit 1 = 0
28 and 128 speed steps
CV#29 Bit 1 = 1
Problems of DCC Decoders with other Data formats
Some DCC decoders have problems running cleanly if decoders using different data
formats are on the rails as well. These decoders falsely interpret the Motorola data signal
as analog voltage and will "stutter" when driving or suddenly drive off with full speed.
as analog voltage and will "stutter" when driving or suddenly drive off with full speed.
With some decoders this behavior can be eliminated by switching off the automatic
recognition of the analog operation. How the decoder is configured to pure digital operation
can be found in the operating instructions for the appropriate decoder.

With some newer decoder types programming to pure digital operation is done by setting
bit 2 of the configuration variable CV 29 to zero. Note however that is not possible with all
DCC decoders.
DCC decoders.
With simple decoders there is no possibility of eliminating this problem.
