Digitrax DH165AO help please

[iomtt]

 Hi  all, 

 

I have   a Digitrax  DH165AO   i am  fitting into a  Bachmann  SD40  along with  a Digitrax SFX 004 sound bug   decoder,

I want  to  put  lights front  and  rear  on the   loco   but  where do the led  leads connect  to  the pads  on the  board could anyone  tell  me  please, as there  are  several   points to  attach  to in the picture of the decoder  here

http://www.digitrax.com/prd_mobdec_dh165a0.php

If  someone  would  be  kind enough  to  mark  where  the  blue/white/yellow leads  should  go i would  be  most grateful,  also  do i  need  to fit  resistors  in  the   leads ?

 Many  thanks  in  advance.

Look at the decoder picture on page 6 of your instructions.  The FOF and FOF+ tabs are for front headlights and the FOR and FOR+ are for the rear light.  If you use these tabs you will not need resistors for your LEDs as they are current reduced for that purpose.  Use of any other available tabs would require resistors.

Connect the anode (long LED wire or small head) to the + tabs and the diode to the other tab.  I believe this is correct but test one to see if it works.  It won't hurt the LED if it's wrong.

Hi Jwil1, 

 Many  thanks  for  the  help the lights  are working  fine  now .......  off  to  install the  speaker  in   a car  as  the  cab in the loco isnt  big  enough  to  take  it.
