Description
TCS 1556 K6D4 DCC Decoder - N Drop-in Board for Kato Glacier Express and FEF 4-8-4
The K6D4 decoder is specifically designed to operate the Kato N-Scale FEF-3 4-8-4 steam locomotive.
This decoder includes a built-in forward LED and 3 solder pads for additional lights.
Note: This decoder features a specialized motor control algorithm for use with the core-less motor used in the FEF-3. For use in other engines such as the ACS-64 by Kato which use a similar decoder, see the K7D4.
See the installation pages for a full list of compatible engines!
- 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.
- 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.
