Description
TCS 1328 IMF4 DCC Decoder - N Drop-in Board for InterMountain F3 and F7 A & B units with motor contact "shoes"
The IMF4 is a N-scale drop-in decoder which is designed for InterMountain F-unit locomotives. Examples include the following:
InterMountain:
- F3A/B
- F7A/B
- F9B
See the installation pages for a full list of compatible engines!
NOTE: This version of the IMF4 is designed for the older style InterMountain frame where the motor is connected to the control board via brass motor feet.
- Back EMF Load Compensation: Provides superior slow speed control and high performance under load.
- Quiet Drive: Super-quiet motor control for "buzz" free motor performance.
- DC Mode: Decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can also configure how your lighting effects function on DC.
- RailCom®: This feature allows the decoder to talk to the command station. RailCom supports expansion for new features.
- Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves.
- LED Support: This product does not require external resistors when connecting LED's.
- Incandescent Bulb Support: This decoder can be used with 12 Volt bulbs.
- Function Remapping: Buttons 0 through 12 may be used to control the lighting functions of this decoder.
- Programmable Lighting Effects: Choose from 20 separate user-programmable lighting effects!
- Dimmable Brightness: Configure multiple different brightness levels for your LED's or incandescent bulbs.
- Decoder Lock: Feature which prevents accidental/unwanted programming while activated.
- Airwire™ Compatible: Fully compatible with Airwire™ operation.
- User-Loadable Speed Tables: Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits.
