Hi, Can a DSX sound decoder be tested by using a LT1 Digitrax tester? If so, how should the wires be connected? I know how to test regular mobile decoders....
Ed, Best way to test a DSX decoder is to connect a speaker to the purple wires. Any 8 ohm speaker should work for the test. The LT1 is just a resistor/led...
Rob: You could happily run with the "SEB" that would support the trains and operators. If you wanted as someone else suggested use a PR3 for your programming ...
... You can put as many throttles as you like onto a Zephyr - that's how LocoNet works - keep on extending the network, adding more sockets and more throttles...
Rob, The Empire Builder will run your layout all day long but it has a few limitations. It will program your decoders all day long. It just can't always do...
Warren, Rupert and others, Always feel free to ask questions - there is always something to learn. Decoders shipped from the factory will be set to address 03....

Steve, We have the battery covers in stock. Look here: http://www.charlestondigitaltrains.com/thumbnail.asp?offset=0&deep=2&cid=18 And it is Charleston Digital...

Regardless of who made the decoder, if decoders/engines are new right out of the box most are set to a default setting of "03". You should just need to set...

Rob: There is two kinds of programming you'll want to do and as Dick points out you'll not have the trains going with the DB150... you want to be very sure...
Jim, I'm starting to see the advantages of the SC for some applications, but it may not be for me. If I have a couple freinds over to operate, I want to be...
Rob: Your friends problems have nothing to do with the DCS. What Dick and I and the others want you to understand is that when programming and maintaining...
You could have the exact same problems your friend is having with his SC with the EB, it has nothing to do with it just being a SC. Both units are the start...
This sounds like an opportunity for an entrepreneur (not me, I'm hyper risk averse). How many battery capable Digitrax throttles are there out there? We have...
I am trying to install decoders in Proto 2000 FB1 and FB1. Digitrax advises to use DH163 decoder. This is plug and play in present loco. When installed...

I have a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in series with an white LED and the resistor gets very hot, too hot to touch. Is that normal or something else?? Bill ...
Depends on the applied voltage. Anything approaching 5 volts across the resistor will be near the 1/4 watt limit for the resistor. If you apply 12 volts, and...
To: Bill No, that is not normal if you expect continued operation of the decoder and/or LED. The 1/4 watt resistor is running at 1watt and 100ma assuming...
