5. Solder headlight

leads to the new

decoder board as

shown If you were

sitting in the cab,

the yellow lead

would be on your

left and the green

lead would be on

your right. The final

step is to secure the

decoder with the

original screws.

Note: the locomo-

tive's frame halves

may have to be

loosened slightly to

achieve proper

alignment.

CAUTION: When attaching headlight wires, be very careful that the wires

you attach do not come into contact with any other pads or components on

the board where they might create a short circuit.

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.

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.

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
