A new Doehler & Haass decoder developed exclusively for Modellbahn Union / DM-Toys. As with all comparable Doehler & Haass decoders, the driving characteristics of this decoder are at an excellent level. Two small capacitors are installed on the decoder for driving without data loss. Both the software and the chip itself correspond to the same modern technology as the latest decoders from Doehler & Haass. The decoder, produced in Germany, can be used for both normal DC motors and coreless motors. Switching from analogue to digital operation takes place automatically. The decoder has only 2 function outputs (AUX1&AUX2), AUX3-6 are not assigned!

Due to our direct sales and exclusive production, we can offer this decoder in cooperation with Doehler and Haass at a very attractive price.

The vehicle decoders support braking with asymmetrical digital voltage (four diodes in series and one diode anti-parallel, Lenz ABC), slow travel (with suitable braking modules) and bidirectional communication (locomotive address feedback in DCC operation, RailCom®).

Update capability of the decoder
Timer for switching off AUX1 and AUX2

The update (the firmware download from the Internet is free) is possible when the decoder is installed on the track (the vehicle does not need to be opened) and is carried out either via the FCC digital center or the programmer. If no appropriate hardware is available, Doehler & Haass will provide a programmer on request.
