Q: I have a DH163D decoder. How do I program it so the Mars light works? A: Any function output on Digitrax FX decoders can be set up for any FX effect by programming its associated FX CV to the appropriate FX CV value. For example, if CV52 (the FX CV for F2), is programmed with a CV value of 034, the violet wire F2 function output will be a Mars light when F2 is turned on for this decoder address and the decoder's direction is forward.
I'm trying to install a DH123D decoder in a Life like P2K PA loco and make the mars light work. HELP! Because the DH123D is a two-function decoder (front headlight, rear headlight), it may not be the best decoder choice for this locomotive. In practice, some PA's had only one headlight, thus there would be no Mars light. The DH123D would be an appropriate choice for those locomotives. Typically, eastern railroads would just have one headlight; think Pennsy and Southern Railway. Western railroads, because of higher train speeds, often used warning lights such as the Mars Light or Pyle Gyra-Light; ...
Remove the 8 pin dummy plug from Lifelike Proto 2000 light board.Before installing the decoder in the locomotive, unsolder the yellow wire from pin 2 and re-solder it to pin 3 (empty pin) on the decoder harness plug board. We strongly recommend that you mark the decoder and/or harness so that you will remember that you have modified it. If you use the decoder and/or harness modified in this manner in a different locomotive, your lights will not work correctly. Plug the decoder and harness into the light board in the locomotive.Program CVs as follows: CV33 = 001, CV34 = ...
