Using this decoder in other locomotives

The factory supplied SDN144A1 sound project is selectable for an SD60

(default) or SD40 diesel locomotive, by the value in CV60. If you want to

install it in a different and compatible locomotive, such as; an Intermountain

"tunnel motor", you can simply change CV60 or load a different sound project

for that type of locomotive. For all installations it is likely that the frames

and/or shells may need modification, and it is possible to use another after-mar-

ket 8ohm speaker e.g. round 13mm to allow an easier install.

Customizing Your Decoder

Your Digitrax SDN144A1 Sound FX decoder is ready to run and will operate

and generate sound using address 03 with no additional programming. On your

Digitrax system, simply select the locomotive's address and the sound will

start. On some DCC systems, it is necessary to select the locomotive address

AND send a command to start the sounds.

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. Digitrax Sound decoders can be

programmed using either the paged mode or direct mode method on a

programming track or with the operations mode using the main line. See the

Digitrax Decoder Manual or the Digitrax web site for more information.

Initial Test and Programming: This decoder is preprogrammed and tested

with an SD60 diesel locomotive sound scheme, and is ready to operate on

factory default address 03. Before customizing the decoder it is useful to

run it on the factory default address 03 to check the installation. The follow-

ing sections show how to change the locomotive address and customize the

decoder

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 &
