R8245 Hornby Digital Sapphire decoder chip

 

This Hornby R8245 Digital Sapphire Decoder chip supports 1 Amp continuous current with 1.5 Amp stall. Low speed ‘gear’ for shunting operations. Size: 23mm x 16.5mm x 6.5mm (Approx). Set amounts of ‘water’ and ‘fuel’ can be stored on the Sapphire providing real time fuel consumption. Burn rates can be selected. All Configuration Variables (CVs) can be changed. This decoder comes with a wiring harness and a 8 - 21 pin adaptor.

Suitable for the older Hornby locomotives fitted with the X.03, X.04 and similar open framed motors and all Ringfield motors.

This R8245 Digital decoder chip can be fitted to non Hornby locomotives as long as the motor specification meets the parameters given below.
