Inc Kato SD40-2 N Scale Mobile 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.

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 so that the loco can be

independently controlled with it’s own unique address. All Digitrax decoders

are shipped with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. See your Starter

Set Manual for complete programming instructions. Following is a brief

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