Train Control Systems (TCS) 1516 | WOW101-Steam

Description

The WOW101 is a universal decoder for locomotives with DCC-ready 9-pin plugs, or locomotives which cannot accommodate a motherboard or WOWKit. This decoder may be hard-wired or plugged directly into any locomotive with a 9-pin JST plug. The WOW101 is compatible with any T-Series harness, and also includes an auxiliary harness for attaching your speaker, CAM, Keep Alive®, and for the additional lighting functions (F3 and F4).

  • CD-Quality Sound: TCS’ world-renowned CD-quality sound. 16 Bits of resolution at 44.1kHz sample rate.

  • Back EMF Load Compensation: Provides superior slow speed control and high performance under load.

  • Quiet Drive: Super-quiet motor control for “buzz” free motor performance.

  • DC Mode: Decoder will automatically detect DC power. You can also configure how your lighting effects function on DC.

  • Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves.

  • Incandescent Bulb Support: This decoder can be used with 12 Volt bulbs.

  • Function Remapping: Buttons 0 through 12 may be used to control the lighting functions of this decoder.

  • Programmable Lighting Effects: Choose from 20 separate user-programmable lighting effects!

  • Dimmable Brightness: Configure multiple different brightness levels for your LED’s or incandescent bulbs.

  • Decoder Lock: Feature which prevents accidental/unwanted programming while activated.

  • Airwire™ Compatible: Fully compatible with Airwire™ operation.

  • CAM: Use a positive voltage trigger to synchronize your chuff rate to your drivers’ rotation.

  • Audio Assist®: TCS exclusive auditory feedback programming system. Program your decoder without the need to memorize CV’s!

  • User-Loadable Speed Tables: Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits.

  • Throttle Modes: Choose from multiple throttle modes to meet your operating needs.

  • True Scale Sound: A unique WOWSound feature which uses TCS’ exclusive auto-adjusting BEMF technology to automatically change the intensity of the chuff. Prototype Mode also offers dynamic sound volumes which accurately model the real-life equivalent. Also includes pre-programmed acceleration and deceleration values.
