1331 TCS Train Control Systems / IMFTB4 IRC Decoder (SCALE=N) Part # 745-1331

The 1331 TCS Train Control Systems IMFTB4 IRC Decoder (N Scale), part #745 - 1331, is a top - notch drop - in decoder crafted for InterMountain FTB locomotives. It has dimensions of 2.158' x 0.47' x 0.179' (54.81mm x 11.93mm x 4.54mm). With a continuous/peak current of 1.0/2.0 Amp, 3 total functions rated at 80 mA, 4 12V outputs, and 4 LED outputs. This decoder offers many great features. Back EMF load compensation ensures excellent slow - speed control and high performance under load. The quiet drive gives a noise - free motor performance. It can automatically detect DC power and allows you to configure lighting effects on DC. RailCom® enables communication with the command station and supports new feature expansion. You can customize acceleration and deceleration curves with variable momentum. It supports LEDs without external resistors and can be used with 12 - Volt incandescent bulbs. You can remap functions, choose from 20 programmable lighting effects, adjust brightness, lock the decoder to prevent accidental programming, use it with Airwire™, and configure custom speed tables.

Using this decoder is easy. First, install it into your InterMountain FTB locomotive as it's a drop - in type. When powering it up, the decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can then start configuring the lighting effects according to your preference, choosing from 20 different programmable options. To adjust the speed, you can use the user - loadable speed tables to set custom speed curves and limits. For function control, buttons 0 through 12 can be used to remap the lighting functions. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you need to program it, make sure to unlock the decoder first. Also, when using LEDs, you don't need to add external resistors, but be careful when connecting incandescent bulbs. Overall, this decoder is very user - friendly and will enhance your model train experience.
