Step 8. Install and Wire the Decoder
(Non DCC-Ready Models)
Begin by securing the decoder in place using double-sided foam tape.
Temporarily refit the tender or body shell to ensure that adequate clearance
still exists.
When wiring the decoder, trim all wires to reduce unnecessary lead length.
This will not only give your installation a neater appearance but also prevent
wires from interfering with the drive mechanism and getting pinched when
closing up the boiler or tender shell.
To ensure long-term reliability, solder all connections and insulate with heat-
shrink tubing such as SoundTraxx P.N. 810036.
Make your connections according to the Master Wiring Diagram and the
figures that follow.
