Layout-Light-Control Light-DEC – Manual

The first Light-Module has to be always directly connected onto the Basic-Module
for voltage supply.

Attend as well to the separate Operation Instruction of the Light-Display- or Light­Power-Module.
At the Operation Instruction you can find as well basic instruction for the
connection of the power supply and the connection of model incandescent lamps
or light emitting diodes (LED) within the section ”Connection of Illumination”.

2.1. Using further Light-Modules

Via the Basic-Module is it possible to control with max. 7 Light-Modules up to 160
light-ouputs. A variable combination of Light-Display- and Light-Power-Modules is

possible.
A Light-Display-Module contains 40 and a Light-Power-Module 24 outputs. If there

are only Light-Power-Modules connected can be with 7 of those Modules (7 x 24 =
168 light-outputs) used. The last 8 outputs of the seventh Light-Power-Module
cannot be used for control connection because the maximum quantity of 160 light
outputs will be exceeded by 8.

If there are only Light-Display-Modules used with 40 outputs each there can be 4 of

those modules (4 x 40 = 160 light-outputs) used at the Basic-Module.
Combined used can be 5 to 7 Light-Modules used on one Basic-Module. If the

summary will be more than 160 light outputs will be the surplus outputs not

controlled.
The Light-Modules shall be connected directly next to each other as shown at the

illustration on page 2 with one Light-Display- and one Light-Power-Module each.
If the Light-Modules shall be installed at an extended situation to be closer to the

light sources there shall be shielded interference-protected patch-cables
(computer network cable) used for the connection.

The second Light-Display-Module has been connected to the first Module via a Kabel

Light@Night.

2.2. Connect light sources to the Light-Modules

Some light-functions require only one light source (model railway incandescent
lamps or light emitting diodes – LED). Maximum is 10 light sources for the light­function traffic-light cross-road.

If one light-function requires more than one light-source those have to be connected
to the clamps of the Light-Modules in series and ascending sequence.

For the light-function of Running Light 4 and 5, Fun-Fair and Construction Work 5
and 8 shall be the light-sources in series connected to the clamps at the sequence
of the actual installed situation.

The light-function Control-Center requires 3 light-sources, which have to be

implemented into the control center to simulate the light of a switch panel. The
first clamp shall be connected to the red, the second to the green and the third to
the yellow light-source.

3 light-sources are required for the light-function TV-Set which have to be installed

into the TV-room for simulation of a running TV-Set. The first clamp shall be
connected to the red, the second to the green and the third to the blue light-source.

The light-function Traffic-Light Pedestrian occupies 5 clamps but provides via
those clamps voltage to 10 light -sources. There shall be 2 light-sources connected
to one clamp. Both Pedestrian- and both Traffic-road lights will be electrical
parallel switched on this way because they will show always the same light phases.
For the correct function is it required that the traffic-light-sources have to be
connected to the correct clamps.
The following illustration shows, which light-source has to be wired to which
clamp of the Light-Module.

Up to 8 push-buttons or switches can be connected to the 10 poles clamp bar of the Basic-

Module.

One pole of the push buttons or switches has to be always connected to the earth
terminal, which is marked with “GND”. The second pole shall be connected to one
of the clamp 1 to 8. The clamp “+5V” will not be required by use of push-buttons or
switches.
If a light-function is assigned to a push-button will the function be started with the
first keystroke and stopped with the second keystroke. If a switch will be used will

be the function active as long as the switch will be in “ON” position.
If there are push buttons or switches connected can be individually transmitted to
the basic module for each of the 8 inputs (as described at section 5.1).
The factory setting for all 8 inputs is adjusted to push buttons.

4. Connect the Basic-Module with the digital layout

If you want to start and stop the Light-Control Light-DEC or single output-

functions digital via DCC-addresses the Basic Module requires digital
informations.
Those receive it via the connection clamp KL5 as shown at the sample­connections on page 1 to 5. Supply the basic module with digital voltage directly

from the digital central unit with integrated booster or from an external booster or
from the digital ring-conductor “Switching” because then will be interference-
protected data available.

- 7 -

Layout-Light-Control Light-DEC – Manual

>

English

<

Do not supply the digital voltage for the Basic-Module directly from the rails.
DCC-Digital systems are using different cable colors or designations for both
digital cables. Mostly used markings are printed next to clamp 5 but do not
necessarily to be used because the Basic-Module will automatically evaluate the
correct DCC-digital signal.

5. First starting-up / selecting language

As soon as the first Light-Module which has been
directly plugged onto the Basic-Module receives
power supply the operation status will be
indicated at the display with a short delay:

If the Display does not correct indicate during first starting -up you should turn with
help of a small screwdriver carefully the potentiometer P1. This Potentiometer is
located at the right side below the display has to be turned halfway left or right until
the information on the display can be optimal read.

For the first 40 light-outputs are output-functions set ex-factory, which will be

started at random within the first 15 seconds after switching-on the unit. If you have
installed some light sources onto the first 40 light outputs those will now lighten

and flash on different intervals.
The starting of the light-functions at random after switching-on provides an

optimal optical impression because multiple installed light functions shall not be
running synchronized.

Within the Technical Manual you can find at the section “Output-Functions /
Factory setting” a table which indicates the assignment of output functions to the
related clamps set ex-factory.

VX.X at the Display of the Operation Display indicates the firmware version of the
Basic-Module. More information about the lower line of the display can be found at
the following pages of this manual.

Below the Display you can find 4 push-buttons indicated with arrows for the
directions LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE and BELOW. Within the further description those
keys will be indicated as LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE and BELOW.

The Technical Manual includes a graphical Menu Navigation to illustrate the steps
through the menus parallel to the following descriptions.

Depress now the key RIGHT longer as three
seconds. The display changes into the Main
