DH16A-4 Introduction The locomotive decoder DH05C, DH10C and DH16A are compatible with the protocols of SelecTRIX Standard SX1 / SX2 as well as with NMRA-DCC-Standard. They can be controlled by every central control unit working with one of these data formats.
Safety instructions This product is not suitable for children under 14 years! It might be swallowed by children under 3 years! An improper use involves a risk of injury due to sharp edges and points. Warranty The functioning of every decoder is fully tested before delivery. The warranty period is 2 years from the date of purchase.
Functions Operation can be controlled either by conventional DC command stations or by digital central units supporting the formats SelecTRIX 1 and 2 or NMRA-DCC Automatically switchover from conventional DC to digital operation In case of digital operation the last programmed system will be activated (no automatically switchover!) ...
Decoder-Installation Preparation Check if the locomotive is in perfect running order electrically and mechanically, prior to any mounting work. Defects and dirt must be eliminated first. Pay attention to the instructions of the locomotive producer. Only locomotives running smoothly in analogue mode, should be equipped with a digital decoder. New locomotives should be run in at least 30 minutes in each direction of travel.
If the locomotive is not equipped with an interface jack, the decoder must be wired up individually. For this purpose you should use decoder with flexible wires (DH05C-3, DH10C-3 respectively DH16A- The decoder DH05C-0, DH10C-0 respectively DH16A-0 should be used by experienced model...

Reading out the extended characteristic values is executed by the entry of the character sequence 00–111 and a subsequently push on the programming key. Writing of the extended characteristic values is executed by the entry of the character sequence 00=VAI and a subsequently push on the programming key.
Operation Put the locomotive on the programming track and read out the programming parameters of the decoder. The default value should be 01-542. Program the desired locomotive address and start running the locomotive keeping the other parameter values. After the first check you can vary the parameters of the engine freely according to your requirements.

All configuration variables except for CV01, CV17 and CV18 (= locomotive addresses) can be accessed during operation on your layout (POM / programming on the main).
Operation Put the locomotive on the programming track and read out the short locomotive address of the decoder (CV01). The default value should be 3. Program the desired locomotive address and start running the locomotive keeping the other adjustment values. After the first check you can vary the parameters of the engine freely according to your requirements.

All parameters except for par001 and par002 (= locomotive address) can be accessed during operation on your layout (POM / programming on the main).
Operation Put the locomotive on the programming track and read out the locomotive address of the decoder (par001+par002). The default value should be 1001. Program the desired locomotive address and start running the locomotive keeping the other parameter values. After the first check you can vary the parameters of the engine freely according to your requirements.
F4 should activate the shunting gear and switch on the outputs LV and LR: LV=1, LR=2, RG=128: so you must enter the value 131 in CV38 | par066. Notice: AUX3 and AUX4 are not available in the decoder DH05C and DH10C. Timer function (CV117 - 120, par076 - 079)

Preclusion (CV113 - 116, par024 - 027) This function gives you the option to deactivate a function associated to an output partly (e.g. drivers cab light in front dark), though this output is switched on (e.g. LV by function F0). Example: A typical situation where to apply this function is the push-pull operation.
