* WARNING *
This model requires hardwiring, and is not for the beginner.
Hardwiring this chip does Void the warranty of the decoder and damage may result in a £25 (plus postage) repair fee for replacement, so please ensure that you are confident, and if possible, test the decoder yourself before fitting.
All decoders are tested before being posted out.

CV4 set to 100 for coasting use F2 to slow loco with the brakes
F2 Brake key
When closing the throttle the loco will coast and decelerate very slowly. To slow the train press F2 and the brakes actually work speeding up how fast the loco slows down just like a real brake control in the cab.
F17 Auto Wagons Buffering
If the key is engaged, and the Light Engine Mode (F key 5) is not engaged, sounds will operate in the following automated way:
Loco moves off/accelerates gently. The sounds are not played.
Loco moves off/accelerates more rapidly. The sound of the couplings taking up slack as the train stretches plays. This is also the case if the loco accelerates further when already moving.
Loco decelerates gently. The sounds are not played.
Loco decelerates more rapidly. The sound of several wagons buffering up is played each time.
Loco comes to a halt with the Brake Key (F key 2) engaged. The sound of several wagons buffering up is played after it comes to a halt.
Warnings
Do not leave wires connections bare if modifying wiring to fit your installation requirements. Always use heatshrink or other insulation. Bare wires kill decoders.
Speaker wires are not polarity sensitive but please ensure that they are well insulated as short circuits on the speaker outputs will blow the amplifier and this is not covered under warranty as it isn’t a manufacturing defect but is considered as mishandling.
Please be sure you are confident working in your locomotives and have the necessary skills to fit the decoders. If not, seek the services of a professional.
Troubeshooter
If decoder appears faulty at any time carry out a project reset setting CV8 to 8. This will restore your decoder to as shipped condition. It will also reset address to 3 again, original sounds will not be lost.
Warranty and Returns procedure
The warranty covers manufacturing defect or failure during correct use within the warranty period which is 1 year from date of purchase. See notes on Rail Exclusive packaging.
Zimo decoders do not have a “goof proof warranty”. This means that if the decoder fails as a result of operator error such as short circuiting outputs, overloading, pinched or uninsulated wire or other installation mistake then the resulting damage to the decoder is not covered.
Returns must be accompanied by the proof of purchase, or a suitable copy to prove decoder is still within the warranty period. A completed returns form (below) and a covering letter with your contact details and return address etc.
As a rule any decoder returned with no visible evidence of physical damage or burning to the decoder or no evidence of shoddy, damaged or uninsulated wiring or incorrect speaker attachment will be replaced straight away for you, by us, (Digitrains Ltd).
Any decoder sent back in poor condition with obvious burning or wiring damage will be unlikely to have ended up in that condition as a result of manufacturer’s defect. These decoders can be repaired though so all is not lost.
Zimo do operate a fixed fee reconditioning service that will repair a decoder to as new condition for £25.00. The return form’s last field to fill in gives you this option if you had an accident with your decoder. Just select option 2 at the end of the form and it will be understood that your decoder will go away for repair.
