Description

TCS 1551 IMF4-NF DCC Decoder - N Drop-in Board for Post-2014 InterMountain F7A & B units with wired motors
 
 
The IMF4-NF is a N-scale drop-in decoder which is designed for InterMountain F-unit locomotives. Examples include the following:

InterMountain:

  • F3A/B
  • F7A/B
  • F9B

See the installation pages for a full list of compatible engines!

NOTE: This version of the IMF4 is designed for the newer style InterMountain frame where the motor is connected to the control board via wires instead of the brass feet.

  • 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.
  • RailCom®: This feature allows the decoder to talk to the command station. RailCom supports expansion for new features.
  • Variable Momentum: Allows you to make custom acceleration and deceleration curves.
  • LED Support: This product does not require external resistors when connecting LED's.
  • 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.
  • User-Loadable Speed Tables: Configure custom speed curves and set speed limits.
