  • Page 4 Clip Installed Customizing Your Decoder Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no additional programming. On your Digitrax system, simply select the locomo- tive’s address and the sound will start. On some DCC systems, it is necessary to select the locomotive address AND send a command to start the sound.
  • Page 5 CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief description of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT series throttle. See your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions. 1. Place the loco on the programming track. Go into Program Mode on your system.
  • Page 6 000 for OFF. To turn on transponding, program CV61 to a value of 002. This allows you to use Digitrax transponding to keep track of your rolling stock. When transponding is enabled, the front light of the locomotive may flicker slightly to indicate transponding signal is being communicated.

  • Page 9 Each of the four function outputs can be programmed to turn on and off with the F0 ON/OFF key on your throttle, creating a Master Light Switch. The CV values for creating this effect are listed in the Digitrax Decoder Manual in the ©2010 Digitrax, Inc.
  • Page 10 If you have trouble reading back CV’s on the programming track, this may be due to insufficient current draw on the SDH164K1C motor or function leads, particularly if it is not installed in a loco. Of course you can always just re-program the CV value into a CV to get the desired results, even though read- ing CV’s might not work.
