Configuration
The decoder tester is designed for testing or programming of decoders in combination with your digital command
station or ESU LokProgrammer before these are installed into a loco. Therefore, the decoder tester simulates all
needed elements usually seen in a locomotive. The decoder tester is equipped with all common interfaces.
Decoder connection
On the decoder tester, all items are labelled for your reference. Please select the appropriate interface first. Connect
one decoder to the tester at a time only. See figure 1 for details.
If you own a decoder without interface, you can connect the single wires to the screw terminal. Please note the
colour code that is different for DCC or Märklin. Figure 3 shows the details.
Connection to the LokProgrammer or the command station
The decoder tester has to be connected to the programming track output of your command station or the Lok-
Programmer. We supply a 2-pin, removable plug, that is first fixed below the decoder tester using a small piece of
tape for transport reasons. Remove the plug and connect it to the decoder tester as shown in figure 4. Then, add
two wires from the tester to the command station / LokProgrammer. If power is applied to the command station‘s
orLokProgrammer‘soutput,theLEDlabelled„TRACK“shouldlit.
Motor Direction LEDs
Next to the motor, you can find two LEDs. Based on the direction of travel, one of these should lit when the
motor is moving.

Decoder tester Extension
If you want also test ESU Decoders for gauge 0 or G, you can connect the Decoder Tester Extension (ESU Item
number 53901) to your tester. Figure 2 shows how to connect it.
