NMRA CV 13 - DC Mode Function Status F1-F8

Indicates the status of each function (F1 through F8) when the unit is operating in alternate power (DC) mode, which cannot control the functions. If a function can be controlled, then the corresponding bit is ignored.

If the bit for a function output is "cleared," this indicates the function is disabled on DC power. If the bit for a function output is "set," this indicates the function is enabled on DC power. CV 12 is a bitwise CV, where Bit 0 corresponds to F1, while Bit 7 corresponds to F8. See the chart below:

CV 13 - DC Mode Functions 1-8
Bit Feature Default Value
0 Function 1 ON 1
1 Function 2 ON 2
2 Function 3 ON 4
3 Function 4 ON 8
4 Function 5 ON 16
5 Function 6 ON 32
6 Function 7 ON 64
7 Function 8 ON 128

The SUM of the desired functions active while operating in DC mode must be programmed into CV 13. A value of 255 enables all available light functions from 1 through 8 on DC power.
