DELTA Decoders

Generally, "DELTA" decoders and "digital" decoders understand all the same Märklin/Motorola signal on the track. This signal may be generated by Central Units, Delta Controls, Intelliboxes, DDL, etc. The terms "DELTA" and "digital" are used only for marketing purposes. "Delta" are the low-end decoders, "digital" are the full-featured decoders. There is no one-and-only DELTA decoder. DELTA decoders have been made in many varieties.

The DELTA decoder 6603 with 701.13 chip

chip	701.13
headlight	directional
functions	-
addresses	15 digital, configured by solder bridges, automatic analog mode
motor	SFCM, LFCM, DCM

The early DELTA decoder had a 701.13 chip, addresses are configured by solder bridges. The full address range can be used with some additional soldering. The advantage is that this decoder automatically detects the presence of analog track voltage and locos run on analog track. The decoder is suitable for standard Märklin motors, i. e. for the small and large flat collector motors (SFCM, LFCM) and for the drum collector motors (DCM).

The DELTA decoder 6603 with 701.17 chip

chip	701.17
headlight	directional, always on, brightness depends on speed, flickering
functions	-
addresses	DIP switch, 15 digital, one for analog mode
motor	SFCM, LFCM, DCM; 27 speed steps
size	36 × 21 × 4 mm

Later types had a 701.17 chip, 15 addresses can be configured by DIP-switches. Although the chip supports remote control of the head lights, this is not used but the headlights are driven by the motor outputs. Therefore headlights are directional, cannot be turned off, and lamp brightness is proportional to motor speed. When the loco stands still, lights go off. One end of the lamp connections is the loco chassis, therefore lights are flickering. To run a loco on analog, the "analog" loco address has to be set. The motor output supports 27 speed steps but they may not be noticed, because the motor output is not a control loop. The motor output drives standard Märklin motors, i. e. SFCM, LFCM, and DCM. The 6603 as a spare decoder disappeared in 2000 but has still been used in factory-equipped locos in later years.

Schematics can be found at the website of Dr. König. Several websites describe DIY modifications on how to get the lights flicker-free, how to get the lights permanently on and remote controllable, how to address any of all 80 digital addresses, how to drive a DC motor, and even how to make the extra functions f1 - f4 available:

Digital	Märklin 60901 Tuotetiedot Consists of locomotive decoder and high-efficiency motor as well as installation hardware for converting most Märklin H0 locomotives with drum commutator motors to the current high-efficiency propulsion system. The electronic circuit has a total of 4 controllable functions. The "function" output is intended for the locomotive's headlights. The "f1" and "f2" outputs can be used for other functions such as Telex couplers or a smoke unit. The "f4" function allows you to turn the controlled motor functions off for easier switching of cars. The "f1", "f2" and "f4" functions can be controlled only with the Control Unit (6021), a Control 80 f locomotive controller connected to this central unit, or the Interface. The electronic circuit in this set allows you to adjust maximum speed as well as acceleration and braking delay. Controlled motor functions under different load conditions such as on ascending and descending grades. Can be coded for 80 different locomotive addresses. The "function" and "f1" functions are turned on when the locomotive is operated conventionally with AC power. Decoder dimensions 36 x 21 x 9 mm / 1-3/8" x 13/16" x 3/8".	Märklin 60902 Tuotetiedot High-efficiency decoder for converting Märklin H0 locomotives with built-in 6090 high-efficiency propulsion to the new version with more functions. The electronic circuit has a total of 4 controllable functions. The "function" output is intended for the locomotive's headlights. The "f1" and "f2" outputs can be used for other functions such as Telex couplers or a smoke unit. The "f4" function allows you to turn the controlled motor functions off for easier switching of cars.

Märklin 60903 Tuotetiedot This kit consists of a locomotive decoder, a powerful 5-pole motor, and hardware for converting specific older Märklin H0 locomotives with the smaller size flat commutator motor to digital high-efficiency propulsion. The electronic circuit has 4 controllable functions (headlights from the "function" button, smoke generator and Telex couplers, for example, from "f1" and "f2", minimal setting for the acceleration and braking delay from "f4"). The Control Unit (item no. 6021) must be used as the central unit to control functions "f1", "f2", and "f4". The decoder in this kit has adjustable maximum speed, adjustable acceleration and braking delay. 80 digital addresses can be set. The functions "function" and "f1" are turned on in conventional operation with AC power. Information about the 60904 and 60903 Products: We differentiate roughly 2 different types of motors among the universal current motors used with Märklin H0: The newer drum-style commutator motor and the flat commutator motor that used to be the standard motor. The easiest way to tell the two types of motors apart is by the type of brushes they use. Drum-style commutator motors have 2 carbon brushes, while the flat commutator motor has a carbon brush and a copper mesh brush (spare part number 600300). The familiar 60901 conversion kit can be used for drum-style motors. With the flat commutator motor there are a number of variations due to different armature diameters and brush plates. The 60904 or 60903 conversion kit can therefore only be used for certain models.
