1.0 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Digitrax Digital Command Control

Decoder for your locomotive. It is engineered to give you both exciting DCC

and Digitrax Complete Train Control features at a reasonable price. Digitrax

mobile decoders work with DCC compatible systems. Many Digitrax decoders

also go beyond DCC compatibility to offer additional Complete Train Control

features like sound, realistic FX

effects, analog mode conversion, speed stabi-

lization, transponding and more.

Digitrax offers many decoders that are simple to install however, in some cases

decoder installations are more challenging. Most model railroaders have the

common sense, judgment and skills needed to successfully install decoders.

It is important to carefully follow the directions included in this manual and

in the decoder specific instruction sheets you receive with each decoder. If

you choose to have someone else install decoders in your locomotives, your

local Digitrax Authorized Dealer can handle the installation or can refer you to

someone who can do the job for you.

Thank you for choosing Digitrax! Please feel free to contact us or your

Digitrax Authorized Dealer with any questions or concerns you might have

about our products. We are always looking for ways to make our products bet-

ter so, let us know what you think!

2.0 Digitrax Mobile and Sound Decoder Overview

Digitrax mobile decoders are just one part of your Complete Train Control

system. When properly installed in your locomotives, they will receive the

commands sent from your command station through the rails, decode the com-

mands and control the motor, function and, in some cases, sound operation of

your locomotives.

Digitrax makes a wide variety of decoders with many different features. This

lets you choose which decoder is best for each individual locomotive. All

Digitrax decoders are robust, reliable and quiet running.

Digitrax builds economy decoders with fewer features, mid range decoders

with more features and premium decoders with even more advanced features.
