The DCC100-E module
must be connected to
the two wires coming
from the control unit
and carrying the DCC
signal. The wires can be
different for program-
ming and normal
operation. The power
wires, on the other
hand, should be
connected to the HP100
board. Fig. 2 shows an
example of connections
for the programming
step. For normal
operation, instead of the
programming output,
connect to the DCC100-
E the same wires that
are connected to the
track. The module is
now ready to receive
signals from the control
unit.
