or disconnected decoders that are powered through the ICD‐HP power leads.

to Get Decoder Status, and press Next again to select. The ICD‐HP will attempt to communicate with the decoder.

Station Decoders: If the decoder is a Station Output decoder, the display will
show the following information.
Dec State: Can be Normal, Fault, or Damaged.
Normal: Decoder is responding correctly.
Fault: Decoder output wires are shorted or solenoid coil is shorted.
This does not indicate a problem with the decoder! Check field
wiring and solenoid.
Damaged: There is a problem with the decoder, and it should be replaced. Damaged indicates the decoder is
"leaking" voltage on the outputs when it should be off.
