When installing the plug ensure that the pins are not bent or broken.
4 Testing the installation
Place the locomotive on the programming track (without its housing) and read the address. The
decoder is programmed ex-works to the address 03. If you have connected the decoder 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 have made a mistake when connecting the cables. Do not subject the locomotive to full running
track power until you obtain the correct "03" address read-out. Check the cable connections and
change them as required. You should now be able to send your locomotive on its first test run on
your layout.
