Connection
The Titan-U comes with two JST, plug-in harnesses. One harness is connected to a standard DCC, JST, 9 pin connector. The 2nd harness contains the stereo speaker wires, function outputs. Unused wires in the second harness can be tied back, cut-off or easily removed from the connector. The Titan-U can be plugged directly into a locomotive 9 pin DCC harness, as found in Athearn and later Proto 2000 locomotives, without using a harness.
|
Harness Options
When purchasing a Titan-U decoder, please specify the harness of choice in the decoder Options section. There are several choices available. We sell the decoder with the harness of your choice. |
