Online stockists are now listing the new Hornby decoders with the Sapphire having a RRP of £19.99 and the Mini Sapphire a RRP of £18.99.
QUOTE Sapphire Decoder
· Built to conform to all relevant NMRA Standards - as listed in specification item
GS001
· High frequency back-emf motor control - high frequency to reduce audible noise
· Supports RailCom. Asymmetrical DCC support
· SUSI Sound Interface
· Size: Length 23mm x Width 16.5 mm x Height 6.5mm - estimated.
· Low speed gear for shunting operations.
· 14, 28 and 128 speed steps.
· Optional operation on conventional DC layouts
· Provides 1A continuous motor current, 1.5A stall.
· Four function outputs rated at 200mA each - further functionality can be driven
through the SUSI interface. Total current sum of function outputs = 500mA.
· Directional or independent lighting with dimming and extensive special effects.
· Supports advanced consist control and extended addressing.
· Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming).
· Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3
· 21-pin connector.
Sapphire Mini Decoder
· Built to conform to all relevant NMRA Standards - as listed in specification item
GS001.
· High frequency back-emf motor control - high frequency to reduce audible noise
· Supports RailCom. Asymmetrical DCC support
· SUSI Sound Interface
· Size: Length 23mm x Width 10 mm x Height 4mm - estimated and to be confirmed.
· Low speed gear for shunting operations.
· 14, 28 and 128 speed steps.
· Optional operation on conventional DC layouts
· Provides 0.5A continuous motor current, 1A stall.
· Four function outputs rated at 200mA each - further functionality can be driven
through the SUSI interface. Total current sum of function outputs = 400mA.
· Directional or independent lighting with dimming and extensive special effects.
· Supports advanced consist control and extended addressing.
· Support for programming on the mainline (operations mode programming).
· Support for all form of programming as described in NMRA RP-9.2.3
· 8-pin connector.
Advanced Features
Set amounts of "water and fuel" can be stored in the decoder which will
enable Simulation driving. Burn rates can be selected.
The locomotive can start / stop based upon Asymmetrical DCC input or
clock without input from the controller.
Different lighting effects can be set at the four function outputs:
- steady state
- strobe
- flickering / random fast flash
- flashing including Marslight, Gyro etc
The R8248 Hornby DCC Access One Hand Held IR unit has a RRP of £74.99.
The RRP of the Elite is £149.99.
