TCS 1485 KAM4 4-Function Hardwire Decoder for HO Scale Locomotives

This hardwire decoder is the smallest decoder with built in Keep-Alive™ that we produce. It will keep your locomotive operating for 6-15 seconds without power (As a result of dirty track, poor contacts, etc.). While physically larger than a M-series decoder, the KAM4 features the same operational characteristics.

 

Keep-Alive®: Included on-board for smooth, stutter-free operation.
 

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.
 

Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves.
 

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.
