Locomotive decoder LE103XF

DIGITAL plus

The LE103XF Universal Decoder

The LE103XF represents a whole new concept to the evolution of
DCC.  Not only is the LE103XF 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.

Although the LE103XF has a low price, it is packed with all the
features you expect in a high end decoder. Independent or
directional lighting (that can be dimmed using a function),
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 LE103XF.

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
LE103XF decoder was tested by the NMRA's C&I committee and
has been awarded NMRA Warrrant 98-82.

Many characteristics of the LE103XF 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 LE103XF. The LE103XF supports all forms of
programming described in NMRA Recommended Practice 9.2.3
including the user friendly 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.
