The DH163IP has six function outputs available. The DH163IP is configured to
control the lights on the factory light board through the integrated DCC 8-pin
plug using Function 0 (F0F-forward and F0R-reverse) for directional lighting.
Function outputs  F1/Green, F2/Violet, F3/Brown and F4/White/Yellow are
available on the decoder and can be used by soldering wires from the pads
indicated to additional lights (or other functions) you wish to control. 

CAUTION: When adding function wires, be very careful that the wires you add
do not come into contact with any other pads or components thus creating a
short circuit.

All six function outputs can be programmed as Digitrax FX

lighting effects or

as standard on/off functions. 

All function outputs can be qualified based on:

1. Forward or Reverse direction of travel, or

2. Whether F0 is on or off, or

3. Both direction of travel and whether F0 is on or off, or 

4. Whether the locomotive is stopped or moving.

Each of the six function outputs can be programmed to turn on and off with the
F0 ON/OFF key on your throttle, creating a Master Light Switch. The CV
values for creating this effect are listed in the Digitrax Decoder Manual in the
