Silver Direct Locomotive decoder
The DIGITAL plus SILVER locomotive decoder has a built in NMRA 8 pin plug and is suitable for
all DC locomotives with continuous current draw of 1.0 Amp. or less. That have a DCC Medium
plug socket. The characteristics of the decoder are:
Super smooth and silent high frequency back-emf motor control.
Asymmetrical DCC support including directional stopping.
Adjustable precision stopping control.
Low speed gear for switching operations.
Selectable for operation with 14/27, or 28/128 speed steps.
Operation on conventional DC layouts is possible or can be disabled.
Motor output = 1A continuous, 1.8A max, > 5 A stall.
Motor and function outputs protected.
Four function outputs rated at 100mA each with advanced function mapping.
Directional or independent lighting with dimming and special effects.
Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing.
Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming).
Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3
Supports service mode decoder lock.

    For more detailed information please refer to the "SILVER decoder" information which can be downloaded from the Lenz Elektronik GmbH website: www.lenz.com. Capacity and protection equipment The motor output has a current-carrying capacity of up to 1A without any concern for cooling! The short-term maximum current-carrying capacity is 1.8A.
  • Page 3 Silver Direct Locomotive decoder Function for disabling of acceleration and deceleration delay Use function F4 (function assignment can be altered in CV59) to disable the acceleration and braking delay as well as the constant braking distance during operation. The delays are disabled as long as the function is active. Switching speed function The switching speed halves the speed table.
  • Page 4 Silver Direct Locomotive decoder The constant braking distance does not function in analogue DC mode. Mapping function outputs Using function mapping (CVs 33-46) you can define which functions of the digital system are used to control the A, B, C and D function outputs. The outputs A, B and C can be allocated to function F0 (direction-dependent) or functions F1 to F8 as desired.
  • Page 5 Silver Direct Locomotive decoder Some advice on installing the decoder: Although the SILVER decoder has many internal safeguards to prevent damage, you must not allow any metal part of the locomotive to touch the surface components of the decoder. This could cause a direct internal short circuit and the decoder will be destroyed.
