R8249 Hornby DCC Locomotive Decoder 8 Pin

R8249 Hornby DCC Locomotive Decoder with four functions.

The Hornby locomotive decoders may be used with all standard digital control equipment that conforms to the NMRA standards.

• Control of the motor’s rotational speed (load compensation)
• Acceleration and deceleration separately adjustable
• Selectable for operation with 14, 28, 128 speed steps
• Programming on main track
• Four On/Off function outputs.Two of the function outputs are dedicated for the head / tail lights.
• Operation on standard DC systems (analogue operation) possible
• Motor overload current protection
• With NMRA RP-9.1.1 / NEW652 medium plug

All the CVs shown can be programmed in Operating Mode, Register CV Mode, Paged CV Mode and Direct CV Mode. All the CVs shown can be interrogated in all service modes. The Hornby Decoder supports programming on the Main. Some advice on the current draw of the decoder output: The current for all the decoder outputs is supplied by an internal rectifier with a maximum current of 1 Amp and the rated continuous current is 500mA.The sum of all currents to the motor and the function outputs should not exceed 500mA at normal continuous operation and cannot exceed 1 Amp. If the motor current exceeds 500mA the decoder will automatically cut off power to the motor. Function outputs are not protected. Each individual output can only draw up to it’s limit. For example if a motor requires as much as 400mA continuously then the function outputs combined should not exceed 100mA. Therefore, if the directional headlights require 50mA then the load Function 1 and Function 2 should not exceed 50mA.
