Function remapping allows you to program the function outputs of your decoder
to be controlled by selected function keys on your throttle. Please consult the
Digitrax Decoder Manual or website for information on function remapping.

The prototype of the Kato HO GE C44-9, “Dash 9”, uses ditch lights in con-
junction with the headlight. To set up ditch lights on your locomotive follow
these instructions:
1. Install the DH163IP
decoder in the locomotive
(see page 2), test for prop-
er operation.
2. Cut the light pipe assem-
bly as shown in
Figure 5
.
You will end up with two
separate light pipes: one
for each of the ditch lights.
3. Install two incandescent
1.5V/15mA lamps (or
LEDs) as shown in
Figure
6&7.
A 1Kohm 1/4W
resistor should be soldered
inline with the lead to each
light/LED. The resistor
value may be changed to
set the desired level of
brightness of the lights.
Slide a short length of
shrink wrap on each lead
to cover the resistor. The
leads from the lamps or
LEDs are soldered to
F1/F1+ pads on the
decoder (
Figure 4
) for the
left ditch light and F2/F2+
pads for the right ditch
light. The Blue (+Com-
mon) wire is soldered to
the middle pad on the
decoder.
