transponding is enabled, the front light of the locomotive will flicker slightly to

Function Outputs on the DH166P

these functions
(Figure 5)
. To use these functions, solder a wire from the pad
for the function you wish to use to the lamp (or other function) you wish to con-

and is provided here for convenience. The wire colors indicated are the standard
color code used in the industry (you can use any color you like). These colors are
important if you plan to use function remapping.
CAUTION:
When adding function wires, be very careful that the wires you
add do not come into contact with any other pads or components on the board
where they might create a short circuit.
All six function outputs can be easily set up with Digitrax FX
