LL8-KA

Decoder
SKU: 1450
    Description

    The LL8-KA is a 8-function direct-plug decoder designed specifically to meet the needs of LifeLike/Proto 2000 models. The LL8-KA can quickly be swapped for the existing DC board in your model, making the installation process fast and simple. The LL8-KA has a built-in circuit for the existing 1.5V bulbs used for the forward and reverse headlights. The remaining 6 lighting functions on the LL8-KA are rated for 12V.

    IMPORTANT! If your model uses LED lighting from the factory, or you plan to upgrade to LED headlight(s), use the LL8-LED-KA.

    The LL8-KA includes factory-installed Blue and Black&White wires to use when connecting Keep Alive®. In order to use Keep Alive® with this decoder, simply solder the wires from the Keep Alive® to the corresponding wires on the decoder.
