Silver Locomotive decoder The DIGITAL plus SILVER locomotive decoder is suitable for all DC locomotives with continuous current draw of 1.0 Amp. or less. The characteristics of the decoder are: ∗ Super smooth and silent high frequency back-emf motor control. ∗...
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.

Silver 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.

Silver 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.
Silver 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.

Silver Locomotive decoder compared to using the rail as a common and the directional headlights will function while operating on conventional DC layouts. Step by Step Installation If the locomotive has a NMRA JST decoder plug simply remove the dummy plug from the locomotive’s JST connector and plug the locomotive JST plug into the decoder.

Silver Locomotive decoder You can alter the content of CVs both through "Programming in operational mode (PoM)" (except for CV1, CV17 and CV18) or "Programming on the programming track". For detailed instructions on how to program using the above-mentioned devices, please refer to the operating manuals which accompany those devices.
