Locomotive decoder LE063XF
The LE063XF DCC decoder is designed to fit a number of Atlas N scale
locomotives, including the B23-7, B30-7, B36-7, C628, C630, Dash 8-
32BW, Dash 8-40B, Dash 8-40BW, GP-38, DCC-ready GP-40, GP-40-2,
DCC-ready SD-7, DCC-ready SD-9, SD-35, Train Master, and U25B
locomotives. The characteristics of this decoder are:
∗
Provides 0.5 amperes continuous motor current.
∗
Provides two on/off function outputs that can be configured either for
directional lighting or for full Rule 17 lighting.
∗
Provides control of headlight dimming (by setting a CV).
∗
Supports both short (2-digit) and long (4-digit) addressing
∗
Supports advanced consist control (lashing up locomotives that have
different DCC addresses)
∗
Operates on conventional DC layouts; this feature may be disabled by
setting a CV.
∗
Provides full support for all forms of programming that are described in
NMRA RP-9.2.3.
∗
Supports both short form instructions and long form instructions in
operations mode programming (programming on the main line)
∗
Can be set for operation with 14/27 speed-steps, 28/55 speed-steps, or 128
speed-steps with direct drive.
∗
Has a rich set of properties, which can be set by the user to customize the
decoder to a particular locomotive.

- Page 3 Locomotive decoder LE063XF under conventional DC will also run exceptionally well under DCC. The LE063XF decoder is quite small and will fit into the B23-7, B30-7, B36-7, Dash 8-40B, GP-38, DCC-ready GP-40, GP-40-2, DCC-ready SD-7, DCC-ready SD-9, SD-35, Train Master, and U25B locomotives.

- Page 5 If this test is successful, the locomotive is ready to use. Programming the LE063XF Decoder The LE063XF decoder supports all forms of both service mode (programming on an isolated programming track) and operations mode programming (programming on the main line).
- Page 6 Locomotive decoder LE063XF Configuration Variables and their Definitions The LE063XF decoder supports a full range of features, which are activated by setting Configuration Variables. All CVs are numbered. These numbers are used during programming and are identical for all decoders that conform to NMRA standards, regardless of the decoder manufacturer.

- Page 11 CV. To program a DCC decoder using a DCC system that allows only the writing of decimal values into CVs (such as the Atlas Master Commander), it is first necessary to convert the values of all the individual bits of that CV that are to be set to the binary value 1 into their equivalent decimal values.
