The features of the LE230 Decoder
The LE230 has been revised and is packed with features you
expect in a high end decoder. Advanced consist control,
extended addressing, outstanding 28 step motor control, and 10
function outputs (includes two for directional headlight control)
are but a few examples. The LE230 supports all forms of
programming described in NMRA Recommended Practice 9.2.3,
including the user friendly direct CV programming mode. Also,
standard is a built in self-test procedure. The advantages of this
standardization are obvious: Every locomotive decoder responds
in the same way to changes in their properties. All new DIGITAL
plus locomotive decoders are produced according to these
NMRA DCC standards. This standardization will greatly improve
interoperability of locomotive decoders for all manufacturers.
DIGITAL plus decoders built to the NMRA standards and
recommended practices are labeled:
This prestigious label means that the NMRA has tested this
product and found that it fully complies with all NMRA DCC
Standards, Recommended Practices and industry norms.
Many characteristics of the LE230 decoder can be programmed
to customize the decoder to its locomotive. For example, you
can operate the decoder with the factory pre-set speed table or
generate your own. You can set which end of the locomotive is
the forward end. You can even decide whether or not you want
to be able to operate on conventional DC layouts.
Please read “The Configuration Variables and Their Meanings”
section later in this booklet for details on the configuration
variables supported by the LE230. There you will find much
more information regarding the features and their respective
settings.
