  • Page 2 1 DH163A0 Decoder 1 Instruction sheet Installation Information See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for complete decoder test procedures, instal- lation instructions, programming and technical information. Digitrax manuals and instructions are updated periodically. Please visit www.digitrax.com for the latest versions, technical updates and additional locomotive-specific installation instructions.
  • Page 3 Installation Notes: 1. Do not exceed the decoder’s 500mA total function output rating. 2. To use a function output with an inductive (coil) type load, see the Digitrax Decoder Manual for more information to avoid damage to the decoder. 3. See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for full details of wiring 12-16V lamps, 1.5V lamps, and LEDs.
  • Page 4 You can also program CVs that control momentum, 3 step and 128 step speed tables, switching speed, normal direction of travel, scaleable speed stabilization and more to take full advantage of the Digitrax LocoMotion™ System. Momentum-C C V03 & CV04 Acceleration is controlled by CV03 and deceleration by CV04.
  • Page 5 Digitrax Transponding is controlled by CV61. The initial factory set value is 000/x00 for OFF. To turn ON transponding, program CV61 to a value of 002/x02. This allows you to use Digitrax transponding to keep track of your rolling stock. When transponding is enabled, the front light of the locomotive will flicker slightly to indicate transponding signal is being communicated.
  • Page 6 Run Your Trains, Not Your Track! Function Outputs on the DH163A0 The DH163A0 is set up at the factory to control six function outputs. The DH163A0 is configured to control the forward and reverse lights on the loco- motive through the yellow lead and white lead using Function 0 (F0F-forward and F0R-reverse) for directional lighting.
  • Page 7 Each of the six 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 which is available at our website.
