Accessory Decoder LS 100/110

1

DIGITAL plus

Accessory decoders are the link between your NMRA DCC
system and your function devices (that is turnouts, signals,
uncouplers, etc.) on your model train layout.

Accessory decoders receive commands sent from the command
station via the power station and activate the drives of turnouts
or other switching devices. For DIGITAL plus systems these
switching commands are activated from input devices, such as,
hand held controller LH100, tower cab LW100, interface LI100 or
translation module LC100 (in connection with another,
compatible digital system).
