Description

TCS 1940 K8D6-A DCC Decoder - N Drop-in Board for Kato Japanese Electrics
 
The K8D6-A is a 6-function drop-in decoder for KATO N-scale locomotives. The K8D6-A features two super-bright LEDs on the TOP side of the board for directional ligthing. This decoder includes connections for up to four additional lighting outputs, each with on-board resistors for LEDs. Examples include the following:

Kato:

  • Japanese-prototype Electric Locomotives
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 Ready Lighting: This decoder has on-board 1K resistors for use with LEDs. It is not necessary to add your own external current-limiting resistors.
  • 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.
