    Carefully remove the locomotive’s shell from the frame. Notice the orienta- tion of the shell to the frame so that you can reinstall correctly. Remove the 6 pin analog shorting plug and in its place insert the DZ126IN decoder with the correct pin-1 orientation. The DZ126IN has 6 pins that insert directly into the 6 pin socket (NEM 651 type) on the locomotive’s PCB.

Reinstall the locomotive’s shell. For proper installation orientation in Bachmann Farish Jubilee, the Dapol Hymek and the Trix v160 N scale examples, please refer to page 9 in this guide.

    Customizing Your Decoder Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no additional programming. For a more prototypical railroading experience, your decoder can be customized for your specific locomotive by programming some of the Configuration Variables, or CVs, available.
  • Page 5 Digitrax decoders are shipped with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief description of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT4XX series throttle. See your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions.
  • Page 6 Speed Tables-How the Loco Responds to the Throttle With Digitrax LocoMotion, there are two types of speed tables: 3 Step Tables and High Resolution 28 Step Tables. Please see your Decoder Manual for a discussion of the 28 Step Tables. The 3 Step Tables are set up by programming 3 CVs: Start Voltage (CV02), Mid point Voltage (CV06) and Max Voltage (CV05).
