correct operations – the lights go on!

This process has no effect on any engine decoder (Multifunction)
on the layout.
•
This will NOT reprogram any of your switches (UNLESS you
simultaneously put your Accessory Decoder into programming
mode – We’re not sure why anyone would do that?)
•
If you use an address that is already assigned to a SWITCH – don't
worry! When you press CLOSED/THROWN you will hear that
switch operate but only for that one instance of programming this
decoder. Thereafter the decoder knows it’s not a switch and will
ignore any switch commands and likewise, your switch will ignore
commands sent to this board. Pretty clever!
To ABORT this Address Setting mode, simply rock the car off the rails so
that power is interrupted for 2-3 seconds, then roll the car back on the
track.
THE OLD FASHION WAY (CLASSIC DECODER ADDRESS
PROGRAMMING
This LED Light Board can be programmed using any standard NMRA
DCC compliant system. We can’t give you every combination of steps
here because of the wide variety of manufacturers since each has its
own specifications and limits. For example, NMRA extended addressing
can go to 10,000+ but the Digitrax® throttle only allows up to 9983.
