esu Decoder tester directions
Posted by wilzdart on Wednesday, April 20, 2016 9:11 PM

I just bought an ESU 51900 decoder tester the package had every little about it in english.  I did find a pdf file with a little bit more.  I was wondering on it's useage.  so far i have only seen the first two leds light up.  Also on the decoder leads for the lights on the loco it has a a place for the front light (white wire) and the rear light( yellow) but nothing for the blue decoder wire.  I have n gauge and wonder if I can check a drop in decoder.  Any place to find more information?

You don't connect the blue wire from the decoder to the ESU tester - the LEDs pick up the common positive (blue) from the tester itself.
