Installation
1.
Carefully remove the housing of the locomotive from the chassis.
2.
Unscrew 4 screws and remove original analog circuit board.
3.
Isolate area marked with red with 7 x 9 mm rectangle of adhesive tape:
4.
Install the digital decoder onto the chassis and fasten it with 4 screws.
Prior to installation of the circuit board, make sure the spring-loaded
outputs of the motor are clean, not oxidized and come into the good contact
with pads on the bottom side of the decoder circuit board. Please do not
overtighten the screws.
Important:
Please check correct position of the circuit board before
installation! Decoder should be installed with triangle front end mark on the
top side of the circuit board pointing towards the front end of the
locomotive.
Locomotive chassis with installed digital decoder should look like this:

Installation of interior lighting of the driver’s cabin:
●
Bend the wire outputs of external LED like this:
●
Carefully thread the LED into the gap between the main body and the
driver cabin’s box using thin precise tweezers.
Important:
Please pick only the wires, and never pick the LED itself with
tweezers! Small SMD 0402 LEDs are very brittle and can be easily damaged
by any metal tool!
6.
Pick dangling wires with tweezers and carefully hide them between the
chassis and the locomotive body; make sure they do not touch any moving
parts.
7.
Install the housing of the locomotive onto the chassis.
8.
Put the locomotive onto the track and perform a test run at the full speed
for not less than 5 minutes in both directions.
Important:
In order to avoid light flickering and jerked move of the
locomotive, please make sure the locomotive wheels and tracks are
absolutely clean from the dust and grease! If you still experience mentioned
signs of bad electric contact, consider cleaning and deoxidizing of upper
truck contacts and brass wipers on the chassis.
Warning: Please note that maximal allowed track voltage in both digital and
analog modes should not exceed 12 Volts! Most digital command stations
output higher voltages; please use a digital voltage reducer between the
command station and the track!
