Functions: Train$ave decoders have either 4 functions which are switched on and off via the function
control buttons of your handset. Functions 1 (white) and 2 (yellow) are preset at the factory to
be turned on with the “headlight” button of Function 0 of your controller. They are also pre-set
to be directional and will light according to the direction of the locomotive.
The Green wire (Aux1) is controlled by default with function button 1. The Purple wire (Aux 2)
is controlled by default with function button 2.
Light
Effects: Train$ave decoder light functions can be set to give many special effects
Consisting: Train$ave decoders support all forms of consisting (double-heading)
Reset: Should you want to reset your Train$ave decoder or if you have forgotten the decoder
address you can restore all settings to “ex factory” by using your controllers program track
mode and setting CV8 to 2. Once this is done, the decoder address will revert to number 3.
Warranty: Train$ave have a generous warranty and we encourage you to utilise it if needed.

Basic wiring and colour codes
The number 1 pin is Orange. It is usually marked with a star, a dot or the number 1 on the socket or PCB
mounted in the locomotive. If you make a mistake and insert the plug the wrong way round it will not hurt the
decoder, but the loco will run backwards when it should run forwards and the lights will not work properly.
This will not harm the locomotive or decoder but the loco will run backwards when the control system
indicates forwards and the lighting will not work correctly. If this happens remove it, rotate it 180 degrees and
re-insert.
Pin 1 - Orange: Motor wire 1
Pin 2 - Yellow: Rear light function: Default setting, operate with “light” of F0 button
Pin 3 - Green: Aux 1: Default setting, operate with Function1 button
Pin 4 - Black: To track/Loco pickups 1
Pin 5 - Gray: Motor wire 2
Pin 6 - White: Front light function: Default setting, operate with “light” or F0 button
Pin 7 - Blue: Common positive wire for all active functions.
Pin 8 - Red: To track/Loco pickups. 2
If you won’t use the Purple wire do not leave it as is – either remove it or insulate it to prevent accidental
shorts.
If your loco does not have a socket just cut off the 8 pin plug and simply follow the wiring guide above, hard
wiring the decoder to your locomotive. Make sure that any joints in the wire are protected with heat shrink if
insulation to prevent shorts.
Train$ave recommends removal of capacitors and suppression parts from all locomotives prior to
installing your decoder. This will ensure the best quality running in locomotives of all brands.
Decoder set-up (CV’s and their adjustment)
CV1 = Short address.
CV2 = Start volts: Range 1~255 Default is 2. If loco doesn’t move at step 1, adjust up 1 at a time until it does.
CV3 = Acceleration momentum. Range 1~255. Default is 0. A small amount of momentum adds realism.
(try setting acceleration momentum to 10~20 initially)
CV4 = Deceleration momentum. Range 1~255. Default is 0. A small amount of momentum adds realism.
