1. Carefully remove the loco-
motive shell (
Fig. 1)
noting
the orientation of the shell to
the frame for reinstallation.
2. Remove the two metal
jumper plugs in the locomo-
tive’s DCC-ready socket.
(Figure 2)
The jumper plugs
allow the locomotive to oper-
ate on a standard DC track or
in analog mode on a DCC
track.
3. Plug the DH163IP decoder
into the socket making sure
that pin one is plugged into
the socket marked 1.
(Fig. 3)
Pin 1 on the decoder has a
square pad. Seat the decoder
firmly in the socket.
4. Replace the loco shell on the
frame. The loco is now ready
to run on your DCC system
using the factory set address
03. See next page for cus-
tomizing.
5. Some locomotives employ
motor filter capacitors in the
locomotive wiring. These
may cause problems with
Supersonic decoders and ana-
log operation on DCC. This
capacitor should be removed
for safe operation.
