meatloaf Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ive installed one in a Dapol 08 and as soon as the loco is put on the track the layout shorts out. I don't have another loco to test in. The Bachmann 3 function works fine apart from the lights don't operate correctly. No manual supplied, or even a bit of paper like other have had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted February 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi emailed Andy today after a comment on N gauge forum about supporting paperwork. He currently is well on the way with some 60 pages of documentation. I think that Dapol staff were just a bit quick of the mark with supplying the decoders as the paperwork and thus web pages not ready. So hang on in there for a bit but war and peace! on its way. The book of 32 pages for the 68 I think covers basics but I guess we all want bells and whistles....or sound of Fred coupling up and drinking tea!

NIK Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, I think from the info and a photo that the 21 pin Imperium is a TCS EU621X or a variant on that. Regards Nick Hi, The latest info on the DCC supplies website says the 21pin Imperium is not Railcom equipped, so if it is by TCS its not the EU621X. Also the info mentions Coach lighting feature (CV59) which isn't mentioned in the TCS EU621X two page information sheet or the TCS CV list or the TCS comprehensive programming guide. Some of the integrated circuits are in a different place to the EU621X. Regards Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Francis deWeck Posted March 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hmmm, I installed an Imperium1 in a Dapol ED (E6003) to be precise. This was to check it out vis-a-vis the Zimo decoder which had been fitted and setup with a config which lit up the route indicators as per direction of travel, and, indicated a coreless motor. In respect of the route idicators, CV33 and 34 were amended, so I applied the same logic to the Imperium1. This failed miserably, and even when changing CV29 to reflect a change of direction for travelling ahead instead of reversing made no difference. Anybody any ideas? The Zimo worked just fine and has been installed on a Bachmann 4F which is a new purchase. It works fine there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a link to the CV settings that have worked for me.

Butler Henderson Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 General Instructions and CV list now on Dapols web site https://www.Dapol.co.uk/technical/DCC-Instructions/Imperial_Instructions1 although the only possibly useful item in the instructions is that CV8 = 4 to reset which is stated on the CV list anyway. No actual commentary on what the CVs do or the range of possible values. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
