Function remapping allows you to program the function outputs of your decoder

to be controlled by selected function keys on your throttle. Please consult the

Digitrax Decoder Manual or website for information on function remapping.

The prototype of the Kato HO GE C44-9, "Dash 9", uses ditch lights in con-

junction with the headlight. To set up ditch lights on your locomotive follow

these instructions:

1. Install the DH163IP

decoder in the locomotive

(see page 2), test for prop-

er operation.

2. Cut the light pipe assem-

bly as shown in Figure 5.

You will end up with two

separate light pipes: one

for each of the ditch lights.

3. Install two incandescent

1.5V/15mA lamps (or

LEDs) as shown in Figure

6&7. A 1Kohm 1/4W

resistor should be soldered

inline with the lead to each

light/LED. The resistor

value may be changed to

set the desired level of

brightness of the lights.

Slide a short length of

shrink wrap on each lead

to cover the resistor. The

leads from the lamps or

LEDs are soldered to

F1/F1+ pads on the

decoder (Figure 4) for the

left ditch light and F2/F2+

pads for the right ditch

light. The Blue (+Com-

mon) wire is soldered to

the middle pad on the

decoder.
