Initial Test and Programming:
This decoder is preprogrammed and
tested with a Steam 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 following sections show how to change the locomotive address and
customize the decoder.
For more information on general decoder installation and programming
techniques and examples visit www.digitrax.com
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 DT4XX series throttle. See your Starter Set Manual for
complete programming instructions.
1. Place the loco on the
programming track not to exceed 16V
.
Go into Program Mode on your system. On DT4XX throttle press
PROG
.
2. Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing.
3. Choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.
4. Complete address programming by pressing
ENTER
.
Note:
CV29 must also be programmed to enable 4 digit addressing, this
is done automatically by the DT4XX throttles. See your Digitrax Decoder
Manual or the Digitrax Toolbox App for how to set up CV29.
Using this decoder in other locomotives
The factory supplied sound project loaded into the SDH166D is for a
Steam (default) or SD38-2 diesel locomotive, selectable with the value in
CV60. If you want to install it in a different locomotive, you can simply
load a different sound project for that type of locomotive. The cam input
is available for Steam installations where you want to synchronize
chuffing.
