DCC BASIC BACKGROUND

A DCC system consists of a DCC Command Station that sends DCC commands to your

layout and DCC decoders installed in your locos that receive the DCC commands. Each

decoder equipped loco has its own address. Each decoder receives DCC commands but

only follows those commands matching its address. No more multiple blocks and no more

multiple power packs. With DCC, you can run di󰀨erent locos with di󰀨erent speeds and

directions all on the same track. You can also turn on/o󰀨 the locomotive’s headlight and

activate sounds if your loco is equipped with a sound decoder. Please visit our website at

www.modelrectier.com for more information about other DCC products.

Please read this manual and your decoder manual carefully before installing and operating

your DCC system.

NOTE: The Prodigy Advance

does not support NON-decoder equipped or analog locos.
