Help with lights only decoder
Posted by albjr on Monday, June 27, 2011 3:26 PM

Hello all,

            I am about to attempt to add a TCS lights only decoder to a loco with an existing decoder. I plan to use the TCS for the rear ditch lights that are currently attached to the rear headlight. I would like to have the ditch lights flash when the horn is sounded just like the current decoder works, but am a little fuzzy when it comes to the CV programming. Any suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated.

            Thanks in advance

Al

You may try the additional programing guide off the TCS web site. http://tcsdcc.com/public_html/Customer_Content/Technical_Info/Tech_Manuals/Additional.pdf This will give you the values to add to whatever CV controls the wire in your function decoder.
