Description 

The SC82 is a DCC compatible accessory decoder.  

It can control up to 8 servo motors that can be used 

for switches (turnouts) or semaphores.  It can drive 

LEDs for turnout state. The inputs can be used for 

push buttons to control switches or block detectors to 

control semaphores. It has route capability for 

multiple turnout control.  

The SC82 can be used as a  stand-a-lone controller or 

communicate with other devices that have a 

compatible serial bus.  

Using the serial bus, one SC82 could control another. 

Push buttons connected to the inputs of one SC82 

can control servo connected to another SC82. A route 

defined in SC82 could include servos controlled by 

another SC82. The serial bus can help in reducing 

and simplify the wiring. 

The SC82 works out of the box with no 

programming. If you you need to change servo 

position or addresses its as easy as issuing switch 

commands or controlling loco speed. If custom 

operation is required, CVs can by programming by 

the DCC system.
