Lenz Elektronik Digital Plus User Manual

Silver Direct Locomotive decoder 1
The DIGITAL plus SILVER locomotive decoder has a built in NMRA 8 pin plug and is suitable for
all DC locomotives with continuous current draw of 1.0 Amp. or less. That have a DCC Medium
plug socket. The characteristics of the decoder are:
∗ Super smooth and silent high frequency back-emf motor control.
∗ Asymmetrical DCC support including directional stopping.
∗ Adjustable precision stopping control.
∗ Low speed gear for switching operations.
∗ Selectable for operation with 14/27, or 28/128 speed steps.
∗ Operation on conventional DC layouts is possible or can be disabled.
∗ Motor output = 1A continuous, 1.8A max, > 5 A stall.
∗ Motor and function outputs protected.
∗ Four function outputs rated at 100mA each with advanced function mapping.
∗ Directional or independent lighting with dimming and special effects.
∗ Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing.
∗ Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming).
∗ Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3
∗ Supports service mode decoder lock.
∗ Size: L 0.71" x W 0.50"x H 0.14" L 18mm x W 12.9 mm x H 3.6mm
