MRC 1904 Sound decoder
Posted by Pappy 1 on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 11:19 AM

Hi,

Does anyone have a Install manual for a MRC 1904 decoder?

MRC can't find thiers. :)

I'm not really sure what you're asking for when you say "install instructions."

Every decoder uses the same install procedures and same color coded wires, which are NMRA standard colors.

RED:  Left rail
ORANGE:  Motor +
BLUE:  + to all lights
WHITE:  Headlight
YELLOW:  Backup light
GREY:  Motor -
BLACK:  Right rail 
GREEN:  Additional light function
PURPLE:  Additional light function

The fact that MRC "can't find theirs" or that their decoder manuals aren't available in .pdf form on their web site should send up a red flag.  This sort of thing should be readily available online to all buyers and potential buyers of their decoders.
