DCS/DCC Switch (Activating DCC Mode)
Even though your locomotive is equipped with a DCC decoder, you will notice that there
is no switch to select it. We found that when the switch was present, it was confusing to
those who are not familiar with DCC operations. In order to operate in DCC you must
install a DCS/DCC switch. If you operate in DCS or conventional mode it is not
necessary to install the DCS/DCC switch.
The DCS/DCC switch may be purchased directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department.

Programming Track (for DCC operation)
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped O Gauge engine can function on Programming Track outputs
from DCC systems. Most DCC systems can support the current requirements of the
engine as long as it’s not started up. If you plan on powering up the MTH engine on your
programming track, you may want to consider a DCC Programming Track Booster.
Loading Engine Firmware
Your new MTH PS3.0-equipped O-Gauge engine affords you the ability to load Engine
firmware. Loader version 2.30 or later will allow you to do this. Please refer to the Loader
program’s instructions for more details. So, as MTH releases new features or updates you
will be able to take full advantage without having to ship your favorite engine anywhere.
All new updates are available on our website. MTH will make announcements as they are
available. Not all updates will apply to all engines.
NOTE: Requires a TIU w/ version
4.20 or later firmware, and requires Consumer Loader version 2.30 or later.

CAUTION:
Do not apply DCS signals
and DCC signals to the same
track simultaneously. The
signals are not compatible,
mixing the DCS and DCC
signals will damage the DCS
TIU unit.
