Digitrax TL1

This is a really simple one function output decoder. It's really cheap and small, perfect to install in those cars where you want interior lighting.

I only miss the possibility to set up the output intensity like Uhlenbrock decoders, but on the other hand you can set up special effects (strobe, blinking, ...) and the frequency for that effects.

It has also transponding possibilities, but only if you use Digitrax stations. I deactivated it since I'm using Uhlenbrock Intellibox.




These are its main characteristics and configuration possibilities:

• Single 125mA (250mA peak) function output for lights or other functions
• Function can be turned on/off using F0, F1, F2, F3, or F4
• Supports both 2 digit and 4 digit addressing
• Programmable from DCC compatible equipment
• Configurable Strobe feature lets you simulate flashing lights like FRED, Strobes, Mars Lights, etc.
• Compatible with Digitrax DCC Transponding Systems
• Approximate size: 0.461” x 0.31” x 0.161” (11.7mm x 7.8mm x 4.1mm)
