DCC Specialties Jack Wabbit Quad Accessory Decoder

There are 4 ways to combine switches and Tortoises.

  1. The Tortoise can be mounted with label towards or away from the points and the points can be diverge left or diverge right.
  2. The simplest approach is to give the Jack Wabbit a Clear DCC command (this is the default position from the factory) or
  3. Apply a manual jumper to the Clear Manual Throw input for SWx (x=1,2,3,or4).
  4. Connect the appropriate Switch Output to your Tortoise (pins 1 & 8).
  5. If the points remain clear or move to clear, you are done.
  6. If they remain thrown or move to thrown, reverse the wires to Tortoise pins 1 and 8.
  7. In this case, the points should now move from thrown to clear.
  8. This aligns the points, the switch commands, and the LEDs all to the clear position.
  9. Check your frog polarity (assuming you power the frog) and make sure it is correct.
  10. If it is not, reverse Tortoise pins 2 and 3 and reverse Tortoise pins 6 and 7.
  11. Check that the polarity is now correct.
