This feature can be StartedThe Bachmann E-Z COMMAND locomotive decoderscan be used with standard digital control systems with an NMRA conformance seal. If in doubt, ask thesystem the maximum current-carrying capacity of the outputs must not be exceeded. Exceeding this willdestroy the Decoder . The metal components of thedecoder must not touch the metal parts of the chassis or the body of the locomotive. This could cause a short-circuit within the locomotive Decoder which might destroy it.

2 Extreme care must be taken when operating locomotivesequipped with E-Z COMMAND decoders usingoverhead line (catenary), either on conventional DC orDCC layouts. Choose either catenary or track poweroperation (not both), or the locomotive could be subjectto double voltage that would destroy the installing an E-Z COMMAND Decoder , check theloco in normal DC operation to make sure that it worksas it should before modifying the locomotive. Replaceworn wheel contacts, motor brushes and bulbs asneeded. Only a locomotive that is mechanically fine willfunction properly with a locomotive decoders come with a NMRA/NEM652 mediumplug. To install this type Decoder simply remove thedummy socket in your locomotive and install thedecoder plug. To ensure the headlights work correctly,you must align the plug properly. Pin 1 of the plugconnects to the orange wire (Fig 1). Ensure this isaligned to Pin 1 of the locomotive. If the plug is installedbackwards the lights will not work.

3 When installing orremoving the plug, be careful that the pins do notbecome bent or broken. Note: Pin 1 is indicated byeither A1 or a colored dot install a Decoder with wire harness, refer to the wiringguide below for proper 1 Two Function DecoderWiring Guide For Decoder with 8-Pin Plug and Decoder with Wire Harness:NMRAFig. 1 Follow the E-Z COMMAND instructions to change thedecoder address. The Decoder will operate as suppliedbut also has advanced programmable functionsaccessible using suitable equipment.

A more advanced system, such asBachmann s DyNAMis WirElEss DigitAl COMMANDCONtrOlis required to program Decoder locomotive address, acceleration and decelerationdelay, and all other features of the locomotive Decoder canbe changed as often as desired by reprogramming.

4 Thefeatures are "stored" permanently in special locations evenwhen the operational voltage is switched off. These locations are called "configuration variables" or simply configuration of the variables is done electronically,which means that it is not necessary to open the locomotiveagain after the Decoder has been installed. On delivery, the Decoder is programmed for operating withthe basic address 03, 28 speed steps and an internalspeedline. The Decoder can be used immediately on purchase with these basic configurations. All configurationscan, of course, be the installation on equipment other than Bachmann E-Z COMMAND .Place the locomotive on the programming track (without itshousing) and read the address. At the factory, the Decoder isprogrammed to the address 03. If you have connected thedecoder correctly thus far, you should now be able to read the address. If you are not able to do so, it is possible that you made a mistake when connecting the wires.

5 Do notsubject the loco to full-running track power until you obtain thecorrect "03" address read-out. Check the wire connections andchange them as required.
