Product Support for: Mobile Decoders -> 1 Amp Digital Command Control Mobile Decoder (DH140)

You can easily control sound units like the Keller SU1990 by using the function leads on Digitrax Decoders and DCC command station that can control decoder functions. These instructions for connecting a Keller Engineering Diesel Sound unit to Digitrax DH83FX & DH140 series decoders was writtne many years ago.  Any modern Digitrax decoder with 4 function leads can be used. Equipment Needed:1) A Digitrax Throttle, Booster/Command Station or other DCC command station capable of controlling decoder function outputs.2) Any Digitrax decoder with at least 4 function leads will work here.3) The locomotive you wish to convert, be sure to check the ...

This note addresses the installation of an H0-Scale wired decoder into Bachmann Plus ABA F-7s; it calls for using a DH140, which has been retired.  Current decoders such as the DH123 or DH163 or similar wired decoders can be used. Just finished up doing a few HO Bachmann Plus F7's, ABA's to be exact. Thought maybe some of you might be interested in how the DCC conversion went on these.They are an easy conversion!1.  The full stall current for these ranged from 500-700 ma for each loco . I selected Digitrax DH140 for the A units and a DH120 for the B ...

To harmonize with NMRA’s “RP 9.2.3” programming RP, the DH140 and subsequent Digitrax decoders do not implement the “legacy” {F9} decoder interrogate instruction. Note that this will not allow correct “address” read back on Marklin 6032 and older revision Lenz programmers that use this older {F9} instruction, and not physical register 1 read back. Note that even though the read back will fail with no confirmation, you will always be able to write a new value correctly.
