Parts List
1 DN166I0 Mobile Decoder 1 Instruction Sheet
Installation Information
See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for complete decoder test procedures, instal-
lation instructions, programming and technical information. Digitrax manuals
and instructions are updated periodically. Please visit www.digitrax.com for the
latest versions, technical updates and additional locomotive-specic installation
instructions. CAUTION: Programming and layout track must not exceed
16V when using this decoder.
Installation Instructions
1. Carefully remove the
locomotive’s shell from the
frame. Notice the orien-
tation of the light board
inside so that you can
install the decoder in the
same orientation.
2. Carefully remove the plas-
tic light shroud at the front
of the loco and loosen the
frame screws enough to
allow the removal of the
light board. Lift the board
out of the frame.
3. Apply the Kapton insu-
lating tape on the front of
frame to completely cover
the at area above the
frame screw. Install the
decoder, square CPU on
the bottom, between the
frame halves. The narrow
part of the decoder ts be-
tween the frame with the
frame clips holding it at
the corners of the decoder
cutout. The brass motor
contacts should contact
the pads on the bottom of
the decoder. The motor
contacts can also be in-

serted through the slots of the motor tabs. Squeeze the frame halves together
to hold the decoder in place.
4. Tighten the frame screws. Replace the trucks if they have fallen out during
the installation of the decoder. Place the locomotive on the track, select ad-
dress 03 on your throttle and apply power. If the motor does not respond but
you can control the lights, check the installation for motor short circuits.
5. Replace the locomotive shell. Digitrax decoders are set up with conguration
variable (CV) default values so you can run your locomotive right away using
address 03. See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for complete instructions on
setting up the CVs for customizing your locomotive’s performance character-
istics.
Note: Motor contacts may optionally be bent to engage provided slots on the
decoders (See gure 4) Be sure to check clearance to frame after installation.
Installation Notes
1. Do not exceed the decoder’s 500mA total function output rating.
2. We recommend that the Blue wire, also called +Common or Lamp Common,
be connected as shown. If you wish to omit the Blue wire in your installation,
consult the Digitrax Decoder Manual for more information.
3. The head lamp should be hooked up using the Blue/+Common wire for opti-
mal Digitrax transponding operation.
4. To use a function output with an inductive (coil) type load, see the Digitrax
Decoder Manual for more information to avoid damage to the decoder.
5. See the Digitrax Decoder Manual for full details of wiring 12-16V lamps, 1.5V
lamps, and LEDs. Lamps that draw more than 80 mA when running require
a 22 ohm 1/4 watt resistor in series with the directional light function lead to
protect the decoder.
6. Some locomotives employ lter capacitors for RFI suppression in the loco-
motive wiring. These may cause problems with Supersonic decoders and
non-decoder analog operation on DCC. This capacitor should be removed for
safe operation.
Customizing Your Decoder
Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no
additional programming. For a more prototypical railroading experience, your
decoder can be customized for your specic locomotive by programming some of
the Conguration Variables, or CVs, available. See the Digitrax Decoder Manual
or the Digitrax web site for more information.

Changing the Decoder Address
The rst CV most people change is the decoder address. This allows you to inde-
pendently control each loco with a unique address. Digitrax decoders are shipped
with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief description
of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT4XX series throttle. See
your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions.
1. Place the loco on the programming track not to exceed 16V. Go into
Program Mode on your system. On DT4XX throttle press PROG.
2. Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing.
3. Choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.
4. Complete address programming by pressing ENTER.
Note: CV29 must also be programmed to enable 4 digit addressing, this is done
automatically by the DT4XX throttles. See your Digitrax Decoder Manual or the
Digitrax Toolbox App for how to set up CV29.
Digitrax LocoMotion®System
Your locomotives look like the real thing, now you can make them run like the
real thing, too. Digitrax decoders incorporate torque compensation for smooth
as silk operation. You can also program CVs that control momentum, 3 step and
128 step speed tables, switching speed, normal direction of travel, scalable speed
stabilization and more to take full advantage of the Digitrax LocoMotion System.
Momentum-CV03 & CV04
Momentum is part of the LocoMotion System. Acceleration is controlled by CV03
and deceleration by CV04. Both come from the factory set to 000. A range of 000
to 031 is available for both accel and decel. Try CV03:003 and CV04:000 as a
starting point for experimenting with momentum.
Speed Tables-How the Loco Responds to the Throttle
With Digitrax LocoMotion, there are two types of speed tables: 3 Step Tables and
High Resolution 28 Step Tables. Please see your Decoder Manual for a discussion
of the 28 Step Tables. The 3 Step Tables are set up by programming 3 CVs: Start
Voltage (CV02), Mid point Voltage (CV06) and Max Voltage (CV05). These values
are set at 000 at the factory. All have a range of values from 000 to 255. We rec-
ommend the following CV values as a starting point for experimenting with speed
tables.

Other LocoMotion®Features: Switching Speed, Normal
Direction of Travel & Scalable Speed Stabilization
(Back EMF) Features
Switching speed is controlled by CV54. The factory setting is 000 for OFF. To
turn on the switching speed feature, program CV54 to a value of 001. When this
feature is on, use F6 to activate and deactivate switching speed. With the feature
on the throttle’s target speed is eectively reduced by about 50% and the eects
of accel and decel programmed into the decoder are reduced by 1/4. This is useful
for yard switching operations.
Normal Direction of Travel is controlled by CV29. See your decoder manual
or the Digitrax Toolbox App for additional information on the settings for CV29.
The intensity, or droop, of Scaleable Speed Stabilization (Back EMF) is
controlled by CV57. The factory setting for this feature is 006 which is suitable for
most locos. You can adjust this value in the range of 000 for OFF to 015 for the
maximum eect. Consult your Digitrax Decoder Manual for info about CVs 55 &
56 and their eects on scaleable speed stabilization.
SuperSonic Silent Operation and Torque Compensation
The factory settings in the decoder provide silent, smooth operation of your loco-
motive under most conditions. For more information about these settings, please
see the Digitrax Decoder Manual or our website.

Function Outputs on the DN166I0
The DN166I0 is set up at the factory to control six functions. The unit is prewired
with two golden-white LEDs set up for directional lighting as F0F/F0F+ for the
front light and F0R/F0R+ for the rear light. Functions F1 (Green), F2 (Violet), F3
(Brown) and F4 (White/Yellow) can be used by soldering a wire from the pad for
the function you wish to use to the lamp (or other function) you wish to control.
The wire colors indicated are the standard color code used in the industry (you
can use any color you like). These colors are important if you plan to use function
remapping.
All six function outputs can be easily set up with Digitrax FX3 lighting eects
or as standard on/o functions with the following operational qualiers:
1. Forward or Reverse direction of travel, or
2. Whether F0 is on or o, or
3. Both direction of travel and whether F0 is on or o, or
4. Whether the locomotive is stopped or moving.
Function Remapping
Function remapping allows you to program the function outputs of your decoder
to be controlled by selected function keys on your throttle. Please consult the
Digitrax Decoder Manual or website for information on function remapping.

Digitrax Transponding CV61
Digitrax Transponding is controlled by CV61. The initial factory set value is 000
for OFF. To turn on transponding, program CV61 to a value of 002. This al-
lows you to use Digitrax transponding to keep track of your rolling stock. When
transponding is enabled, the front light of the locomotive will icker slightly to
indicate transponding signal is being communicated. For optimal transponding
operation, we recommend that you hook up the forward and rear lights as shown
above.
Decoder Reset CV08
Decoder reset lets you reset all CV values to the initial factory settings. To reset all
CV values, program CV08 to a value of 008. You also have the option of resetting
all the CV values except the 28 speed step tables. To do this program CV08 to a
value of 009.
