LIGHT EFFECTS WIRING
Your MRC Synchronized Diesel Sound Decoder is equipped with normal
directional lighting, plus MRC light effects. If your loco has ditch lights, mars light
or strobe light, you can solder wires to the four solder tabs (2 pairs marked with
Range Default
ACC1,ACC2) on the bottom of the decoder. The two center solder tabs are the
1-127 3
common for the accessory light effects.

All the decoder's light outputs are track output voltage (around
0-32 0
14V) supplied by your DCC system. They are designed for 12V

operation voltage. If you have a 1.5V bulb use 1k ohm resistor or

LED, you should connect a 2k ohm resistor in series to one of the

leads to limit current.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
0-255 3
The MRC 0001657 HO diesel sound decoder should perform well with all DCC
0-127 0
systems. See your DCC system manual to learn how to program and operate the
decoder. For more information about register/CVs and their functions, please
--- 0
refer to the NMRA DCC Standard & Recommended practices, RP-9.2.2 this is
available directly from the NMRA or their website at www.nmra.org.
