Keep-Alive Usage Notes:

All TCS decoders shipping with date codes from November 2011 support the Keep-Alive feature.

To enable the Keep-Alive feature place a value of 2 in CV 182. This essentially disables DC mode and the decoder will remain in DCC operation during brief power interruptions.

These KA's are designed for a maximum track voltage of 16v.
