When selecting an aftermarket eco er a few etails may nee to be consi ere first. As there are two
stan ar s of eco er 21pin connections available on the market, the NEM660 version an the NRMA
version, two lighting connection possibilities are available on the Main PCB.
Specifically, for the mo els White/Re Marker Light connection for both en s, the plugs marke ‘DC’
an ’DCC ’ are available (See image on page 3). The lighting connection will be epen ent on the bran
an version of the aftermarket eco er being use . Generally speaking any aftermarket 21 pin eco er
can be fitte .
For aftermarket eco ers with a re uce number of auxiliary lighting outputs, the Locomotives
Reversible Headlights along with Aux 1 (Front Number Boar s, Front White Marker Lights, Rear Re
Markers lights) an Aux 2 (Rear Number Boar s, Rear White Marker Lights, Front Re Markers lights)
will function as long as the Marker Lighting is connecte to the ‘DC’ PCB plug connection.
Note: Using just the 2 Auxiliary outputs the Lighting functions can also be isolate with the micro
switches on the bottom of the fuel tank. (E.g. turning the opposing en , re marker lighting off).
Alternatively refer to the link below for further eco er possibilities. This is an excellent source of
information which a resses the 21pin NEM660/NMRA stan ar s an their associate ifferences an
functionality issues, along with a chart i entifying which other bran eco ers an versions that may
also be suitable.

Fitting the decoder - once the mo el's bo y is remove from the chassis, taking care with the bo y’s
wiring an COMMON lighting connection plug, first remove the small 21pin DC a aptor PCB from the
main PCB’s 21 pin plug. Removal of the DC a aptor PCB also removes the components associate with
motor noise suppression for DC function. Then, an paying close attention to the pin alignment, firmly
push the eco er onto the 21 pin plug.
Note: Alter the DC DCC plug connections for Marker Lighting if required. Inadvertently plugging the
lighting into the wrong plug should pose no risk to damaging any circuitry, although care should be
taken ensuring the lighting is connected to the correct plug for the decoder that has been selected.
Speaker connection is via the supplie connector plug/wiring harness, fitte to the plug marke ‘SP’ (see
image on page 3). Keep in min matching the chosen speaker an eco er’s amplifier impe ance.
ESU Loksound V5 DCC Decoder Installed Model
Your DCC Sound Installed Model is fitte with the recently release ESU Loksound V5 Decoder. All
switches on the bottom of the fuel tank are to remain in the turne on position. The Deco er connects
to the main printe circuit boar via the 21pin connector, with the lighting wiring connecting via three
plugs at the main PCB (see image on page 3):
• The Hea lights an Number Boar s connecting from the locomotive bo y at the COMMON plug
• The white/re marker lighting via the two plugs marke ‘DCC’ for the appropriate en .
The eco ers efault settings have been a juste to ensure your mo el operates smoothly straight out
of the packaging. Please take a moment to rea through the following information as it relates to the
functionality an features along with further information as to in ivi ualising your mo el.
