4. PRODIGY ADVANCE DCC30 Stationary Accessory Decoder e STATIONARY ACCESSORY DECODER a e 3 amp with NEW programmable delay CASCADING effect for easy ROUTE operation Thank you for choosing the PRODIGY ADVANCE DCC Stationary Plectronic loco controller Accessory Decoder This decoder is an NMRA compatible Accessory Decoder You must use PRODIGY ADVANCE or other DCC systems that support CV programming and have Accessory Decoder function capability The PRODIGY ADVANCE Stationary Accessory Decoder comes with 4 pairs of outputs Think of it as 4 Decoders in 1 each having it s own sub address The pairs are labeled as A B C and D see Diagram 1A Each sub decoder has three terminal connectors labeled OUTPUT 1 COMMON and OUTPUT 2 see Diagram 1A These terminal connectors go to the accessory or point motor TO ASCESSORN TOACCESSORY Do not apply any power to these terminals as it will damage the decoder DIAGRAM 1a OUTPUT 1 COM OUTPUT 2 OUTPUT 1 OUTPUT 2 This decoder gets it s power and DCC signal from your PRODIGY ADVANCE BASE UNIT or through the track rails It can also power your accessories from DCC track power or any external 16v AC power supply It is ALWAYS better to power your accesso FROM POWER SUPPLY E ries with an external power supply so your DCC 16v AC INPUT CV516 system utilises its full power to run your trains RED WIRE This decoder also rectifies the AC power so accesso FROM DCC TRACK CV517
