The DIGITAL plus locomotive decoder is suitable for all DC locomotives 
with continuous current draw of 1.0 Amp. or less. The characteristics of the 
decoder are: 

 

Super smooth and silent high frequency back-emf motor control 

 

Full RailCom  NMRA DCC Bi-directional support 

 

Five function outputs rated at 500mA each  

 

Each function output supports F0-F28 with simplified function mapping 

 

Directional or independent lighting with dimming and special effects 

 

Support for automatic uncoupling control 

 

Asymmetric DCC support including directional stopping 

 

Adjustable precision stopping control 

 

Low speed gear for switching operations 

 

Selectable for operation with 14/27, or 28/128 speed steps 

 

Operation on conventional DC layouts is possible or can be disabled 

 

Motor output = 1A continuous, 1.6A max, > 5 A stall 

 

Motor and function outputs protected 

 

Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing 

 

Support for all forms of programming as described in RP-9.2.1 & RP-9.2.3  

 

Supports service mode decoder lock 

 

Size: L 0.90" x W 0.65"x H 0.12"   L 23mm x W 16.5mm x H 3.0mm
