DC-CAR decoders in stationary models

Give your stationary models blue lights, front flashing lights, turn signals and headlights!

It's easy with DC-Car decoders.

For a stationary model fitted with a DC01 you only need a 5V DC supply.

If the power is switched on, then immediately the three blue lights, the front warning lights, indicators and headlight turn on.

If you have a DCC controller you can program CV24 to set which of the lights are activated. Additionally you can set the flashing speeds for each vehicle individually using the appropriate CVs. Thus spectacular lighting effects on your layout can be achieved.

If the DC01 is wired to the DCC controller, you can switch the various lights on or off using the F1-F8 keys and the DCC address of the decoder.

For a stationary vehicle you do not have to build the DC01 into the vehicle, but can fit the decoder underneath the layout and run the wires to the lights in the vehicle.

X1 and X2 are the inputs. A 9-16V AC supply can be used.
If you are using a DC supply then make sure that X1 is connected to the positive (+) and X2 to the negative (-) supply.
X3 is +5 V supply for the decoder.
X4 is the ground connection for the decoder.
