Lenz decoder in Proto 2000 loco

[paulbb]

Is it possible to configure a Lenz 1024 decoder to run on DC ? I purchased an HO Proto GP9 from Rails second hand and the decoder is hard wired.

My US layout and locos are all analogue, and, having no desire to remove the decoder, I need to know if there is a CV that can be changed to make it run on DC only. This would also make it easier to resell in the distant future, should I wish to.

All you should need to do is make sure that bit 2 of CV29 is set on. 

 

if you read the current CV29 value then use this link to work out what has been set (enter existing CV29 value in bottom box and press Backcalc to see what has been set.

DCC CV29 Calculator (2mm.org.uk)

 

If Bit 2 has not been checked, then check it and write the new CV29 value shown in the box back to CV29.
