The ESU DCC Sound decoder doesn't work / no longer emits any sound etc.

ESU DCC Sound decoders with specific sounds are programmed by TecnoModel on the spot and carefully tested to ensure correct operation before shipping.

Therefore, if once installed it doesn't work / doesn't make any sound etc. it means that there was a problem during installation or programming, and it was damaged.

It is probably sufficient to carry out the reset (CV 8 = 8) to bring it back to the factory values.

Generally, the decoder is damaged because the speaker terminals accidentally come into contact with the line coming from the track or with a solder on the PCB of the model. In this case it is necessary to send it to the manufacturer for assistance.

Write to info@tecnomodel-treni.it specifying the order number, the item code and the problem encountered, and we will provide you with the instructions to send the decoder for assistance.

Otherwise you can send the decoder directly to ESU by following the instructions on their website: https://www.esu.eu/en/support/warranty-repair/reparaturen/ruecksendungen/
