Locomotive decoder LE105XF
DIGITAL plus
Doing so will impede air circulation and degrade the performance
of the decoder. 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 LE105XF 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 decoder could get twice
the track voltage which would destroy it!
Wiring Options
There are two wiring options for installing the LE105XF,
depending on how the locomotive is constructed. The four
functions could be connected with their common to the track
voltage as shown in Figure 1, or, use the decoders floating
common as shown in Figure 2. A mixture of both options is also
possible. If the bulbs for the headlights are floating (isolated
against wheel pick up and chassis) and connected according to
Figure 2, they will shine brighter compared to the option shown to
Figure 1. Furthermore, the directional headlights will function while
operating on conventional DC layouts.
Step by Step Installation
Two wires connect the decoder to the motor. Make sure that the
motor is electrically isolated from both track pickups:
•
Orange wire to the motor terminal that was
previously connected to the right rail (Pin #1).
•
Gray wire to the motor terminal that was
previously connected to the left rail (Pin #5).
Two wires connect the decoder to the track electrical pickups:
•
Red wire to right rail pickup (Pin #8).
•
Black wire to the left rail pickup (Pin #4).
Five wires connect the headlights and functions to the decoder:
•
White wire (Pin #6) to the forward headlight or the function
controlled by Output A. If the bulb is isolated, connect the blue
wire (Pin #7) to the other terminal.
•
Yellow wire (Pin #2) to the rear headlight or the function
controlled by Output B. If the bulb or function is isolated, then
connect the blue wire (Pin #7) to the other terminal.
