Product Info
The Bluetooth Legacy Dongle was created to enable the HM | DCC app to control non-Bluetooth DCC decoders and work seamlessly with the Hornby Select (R8213) & Elite (R8214) controllers. The Legacy Dongle is plugged into a XpressNet socket* located on the back of Elite/Select controllers. All non-Bluetooth decoders and HM7000 decoders set to 'DCC Mode' can then be controlled via the HM | DCC app. Adapting your older DCC controllers for today has never been easier!
*Other DCC controllers that feature a Xpressnet socket (RJ11/RJ12) and run Xpressnet Protocol may allow for function of the HM7040: Legacy Dongle, but are untested by Hornby and cannot be recommended.
*Please note: For DCC control of your HM7000-TXS, power your track using a compatible DCC controller (Hornby Select - R8213, Elite - R8214 or eLink - R8312. For Bluetooth? only control, power your track using a compatible power supply (P9102W ? 1 Amp, P9302W ? 4 Amp and P9602W ? 1.2 Amp) and the HM7020 adapter, or the R7337 HM7020 4 Amp Bundle. Correct function on any other DCC system or power supply cannot be guaranteed and may result in decoder failure.
Please ensure that your smart device is able to download the HM | DCC app prior to the purchase of any HM7000 products.
