Inc HO 6-Function DCC Decoder - Manual

Installation Notes:

1. Do not exceed the decoder’s 500mA total function output rating.

2. To use a function output with an inductive (coil) type load, see the Digitrax

Decoder Manual for more information to avoid damage to the decoder.

3. See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for full details of wiring 12-16V lamps,

1.5V lamps, and LEDs. Lamps that draw more than 80 mA when running

require a 22 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in series with the directional light func-

tion lead to protect the decoder.

4. Some locomotives employ filter capacitors for RFI suppression in the loco-

motive wiring. These may cause problems with Supersonic decoders and

non-decoder analog operation on DCC. This capacitor should be remove for

safe operation.

Customizing Your Decoder

Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no

additional programming. For a more prototypical railroading experience, your

decoder can be customized for your specific locomotive by programming some

of the Configuration Variables, or CVs, available. See the Digitrax Decoder

Manual or the Digitrax web site for more information.

Changing the Decoder Address

The first CV most people change is the decoder address. This allows you to

independently control each loco with a unique address. Digitrax decoders are

shipped with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief

description of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT series

throttle. See your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions.

1. Place the loco on the programming track. Go into Program Mode on your

system. On DT400/DT402 press PROG. On DT300, DT100 & DT200

press RUN/STOP & FN/F0.

2. Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing

(DT400/DT402 and DT300). (Ad for DT100 & DT200, see set manual for 4

digit instructions).

3. Choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.

4. Complete address programming. On DT400/DT402 press ENTER. On

DT300, DT100 & DT200 press SEL.

Note: CV29 must also be programmed to enable 4 digit addressing, this is

done automatically by the DT400/DT402 & DT300 but not on earlier throttles.
