TCS LL8-KA Decoder ~ HO Scale ~ 1.989" x 0.694" x 0.134" ~ 1450
The LL8-KA is a 8-function direct-plug decoder designed specifically to meet the needs of LifeLike/Proto 2000 models. The LL8-KA can quickly be swapped for the existing DC board in your model, making the installation process fast and simple. The LL8-KA has a built-in circuit for the existing 1.5V bulbs used for the forward and reverse headlights. The remaining 6 lighting functions on the LL8-KA are rated for 12V.
IMPORTANT! If your model uses LED lighting from the factory, or you plan to upgrade to LED headlight(s), use the LL8-LED-KA.
The LL8-KA includes factory-installed Blue and Black&White wires to use when connecting Keep Alive®. In order to use Keep Alive® with this decoder, simply solder the wires from the Keep Alive® to the corresponding wires on the decoder.
Back EMF Load Compensation:
Provides superior slow speed control and high performance under load.
Quiet Drive:
Super-quiet motor control for "buzz" free motor performance.
DC Mode:
Decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can also configure how your lighting effects function on DC.
RailCom®:
This feature allows the decoder to talk to the command station. RailCom supports expansion for new features.
Variable Momentum:
Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves.
1.5 Volt Power Supply:
This product has an on-board 1.5 Volt power supply for use with 1.5 Volt bulbs without resistors.
Incandescent Bulb Support:
This decoder can be used with 12 Volt bulbs.
Function Remapping:
Buttons 0 through 12 may be used to control the lighting functions of this decoder.
Programmable Lighting Effects:
Choose from 20 separate user-programmable lighting effects!
Dimmable Brightness:
Configure multiple different brightness levels for your LED's or incandescent bulbs.
Decoder Lock:
Feature which prevents accidental/unwanted programming while activated.
Airwire™ Compatible:
Fully compatible with Airwire™ operation.
User-Loadable Speed Tables:
Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits.
