Connect the power inputs of the DR4018 to the signal terminal connections in the following way

  • Note that wiring is connected to the Main Track output of the DR5000
  • Common link is made between the power inputs and Signal inputs on the DR4018 as shown in the above diagram
  • Connect your PC or MAC via USB connection to the DR5000
  • Power on the DR5000 * Do not have anything connected to the DR4018 outputs at this stage
  • Open DR5000 Configuration Software
  • Interface will open

 

  • Select Program Track Output from the interface
  • This will bring up the programming properties

     

 

  • Under the CV Programming Tab, select mode as POM
  • Set address to 9999 (this is the DR4018 Board address)
  • Set CV Number to your required CV number, in this case 47
  • Set Value, in this case 6 (Value of 6 is pre-set vale for MP1 point motors)
  • You are now ready to send the CV programming to the DR4018
  • Press the program button on the DR4018, located between the Power and Signal connectors
  • The LED will illuminate RED This now means the unit is ready for programming.
  • Now you can press the orange lightning icon next to the CV number in the Programming properties.
