Silver Locomotive decoder

 

1

 

 

 

 
 
 

The DIGITAL plus SILVER 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.  

 

Asymmetrical 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, 1.8A max, > 5 A stall. 

 

Motor and function outputs protected 

 

Four function outputs rated at 100mA each with advanced function mapping 

 

Directional or independent lighting with dimming and special effects. 

 

Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing 

 

Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming) 

 

Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3  

 

Supports service mode decoder lock 

 

Size: L 0.91" x W 0.66"x H 0.12"   L 23mm x W 16.6mm x H 2.9mm

Instead put electrician tape over any part of the locomotive frame or body that might touch the decoder and use double sided foam mounting tape to mount the decoder This will prevent short circuits without suffocating the decoder The SILVER decoder can not be set up for simultaneous use for 2 rail pickup and overhead cantenary or trolley operation If the locomotive is turned the wrong way the dec...
