Basherboy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hello and Good Evening,Any help or advice on this problem would be great!I am using railmaster with the e-link.I have the hornby decoder and four surface mounted point motors installed the first one in port one and all programmed and working fine, now all of a sudden it no longer works, i have connected the decoder back on the programming track and it reads the decoder ok but when clicking on test port it does nothing.i am a novice to all this so it is usually me doing something wrong!Many thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sounds like you may have a faulty decoder for return under warranty? The fact it was working and now isn't is pretty telling. And as you were using it on the default ports 1-4, it's not likely to be a programming issue because you weren't actually changing anything.

The manual isn't clear on this, but I would have thought you need to be on the main DCC circuit for these buttons to work. Maybe HRMS can confirm this?Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basherboy Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi Ray, Many thanks for your reply, i still had it on the programming track with a point motor attached to port 1 and clicking on the test port 1 on the screen and nothing happening, shall i try and put it back on the dcc circuit and try?Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1ngr4y Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yes Mark, try it on the DCC circuit.RayHello again, Mark,Yesterday, I had occasion to re-program a R8247 on my programming track, and I can confirm that you need to switch it back from the programming track to the main DCC circuit in order to use the test buttons in the accessory decoder programming window.Have you tried that ? Let us know how you get on.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
