Locomotive decoder LE080XS
DIGITAL plus
The LE080XS Universal Decoder with Silent
Drive™
The LE080XS represents the next evolution of precision motor
control. Not only is the LE080XS designed to use with our own
DIGITAL plus system, it is also designed to be at home on all the
other popular NMRA DCC systems. To accomplish this we first
designed a decoder to be in full conformance to the NMRA
Standards and RPs and then augmented the decoder to work well
with all other major systems on the market. Each decoder is
tested before it is shipped to ensure you receive a quality product.
The LE080XS, is packed with all the features you expect in a high
end decoder. Independent or directional lighting (that can be
dimmed using a function), full ditch light operation or 2 extra
functions, advanced consist control, extended addressing,
operations mode programming and full support for all the various
speed step modes including 128 step motor control, are but a few
examples of the advanced features found in the LE080XS.
The NMRA awards its prestigious C&I label to products it has
tested and found to be in full compliance with all NMRA DCC
Standards, Recommended Practices and industry norms. The
LE080XS decoder has been awarded NMRA C&I warrant #99-46.
Many characteristics of the LE080XS decoder can be
programmed to customize the decoder to its locomotive. Please
read “The Configuration Variables and Their Meanings” section
later in this booklet for details on the configuration variables
supported by the LE080XS. The LE080XS supports all forms of
programming described in NMRA Recommended Practice 9.2.3
including the user friendly and fast direct CV programming mode
and the operations mode programming so that you can adjust
values while the locomotive is in use. For example, you can
operate the decoder with the factory pre-set speed table or
generate your own. You can set which end of the locomotive is the
forward end. You can even decide whether or not you want to be
able to operate on conventional DC layouts.
