LE103XF/104XF V4.4
NMRA DCC Universal Decoder
The
industry's first truly universal decoder, the LE103XF represents a whole new concept to
the evolution of DCC. Not only is the LE103XF/104XF designed to use with our own DIGITAL
plus system, it is also designed to be at home on all the other popular NMRA DCC systems. The LE104XF has
the identical features plus the 8-pin NMRA plug. Both the LE103XF and LE104XF have
been redesigned to include 3 function outputs and our next generation of DCC packet
reception software that improves upon our existing industry best packet reception code.
The LE103XF/104XF has now received the NMRA
Warrant for Conformance!
To accomplish this we first built a decoder that was in
full conformance to the NMRA Standards and RPs and then augmented the decoder to work well
with all other major systems on the market. Although the LE103XF has a low price, it is
packed with all the features you expect in a high end decoder. Independent or directional
lighting (that can be dimmed using a function), advanced consist control, extended
addressing, operations mode programming and full support for all the various speed step
modes including 128 step motor control, are but a few examples of the advanced features
found in the LE103XF.
Many characteristics of the LE103XF decoder can be
programmed to customize the decoder to its locomotive. Please read "The Configuration
Variables and Their Meanings" section later in this booklet for details on the
configuration variables supported by the LE103XF. The LE103XF supports all forms of
programming described in NMRA Recommended Practice 9.2.3 including the user friendly
direct CV programming mode and the operations mode programming so that you can adjust
values while the locomotive is in use. For example, you can operate the decoder with the
factory pre-set speed table or generate your own. You can set which end of the locomotive
is the forward end. You can even decide whether or not you want to be able to operate on
conventional DC layouts.
The characteristics of the decoder are:
- Selectable for operation with 14/27, 28/55, 128 direct drive or 128 speed
table mode with precision glide motor control.
- Three on/off function outputs
with a current rating of 100 mA each that can
be configured for either directional lighting, full Rule 17 lighting, or lights and F1
- Headlights can also be dimmed using an extra function.
- One additional function output that can be set to blink at a user
settable rate and can be configured for any function output from F1-F8
- Support for Advanced Consist Control and Extended Addressing
- Smooth operation on conventional DC layouts is possible. This feature may
be disabled.
- Full Support for operations mode programming (long and short) and full
support for all forms of programming as described in NMRA P-9.2.3
- Rich set of properties which the user can set to customize the decoder to
a particular locomotive.
- Provides 1A continuous motor current.
The LE104XF comes with the newly designed 8-pin NMRA plug. We
designed this plug in order to better protect the wires connecting to the pins at the
solder joints. The new plug has the solder joints encased with molded plastic to prevent
pulling on the wires.
