D13SRJ Decoder with NMRA 9 pin jack - Rev. D PC Boards

If you are going to use Surface Mount resistors on the back of the D13SRJ decoder board for LED lighting, the letters and numbers for outputs are reversed.

F marked on the board is actually the yellow back up light wire
R marked on the board is actually the white forward light wire

1 marked on the board is actually the violet F2 output wire
2 marked on the board is actually the green F1 output wire
This ONLY occurs on the Rev. D PC Boards and does not apply to any other decoder.
