How to use this manual

If you have no specialist technical training, this manual gives step-bystep instructions for safe and correct fitting of the module, and operation. Before you start, we advise you to read the whole manual, particularly the chapter on safety instructions and the FAQ chapter. You will then know where to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot of effort to correct.

Keep this manual safely so that you can solve problems in the future. If you pass the kit on to another person, please pass on the manual with it.

Intended use

Caution:

Integrated circuits are very sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first discharging yourself. Touching a radiator or other grounded metal part will discharge you.

The module can be used according to the specifications of this manual. It is designed for the mounting in a model railway locomotive with d.c. motor (LD-G-1) resp. a.c. motor (LD-W-1). It evaluates the Motorola format data sent by the digital central unit to its address. The decoder controls the vehicle performance (velocity, direction of travel, acceleration), switches the lighting and four further optional functions. The module is not suitable for children under the age of 14.

Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual are mandatory for the user.

Any other use of the kit is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.

Safety instructions

Mechanical hazards

Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB.

Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones.

Electrical hazards

§ Do not touch powered, live components.

§ Do not touch conducting components which are live due to

malfunction.

§ Avoid short circuits.

§ Do not connect the circuit to a higher voltage than designed.

§ Impermissibly high humidity.

§ Condensation building up can cause serious injury due to electrical

shock.

Take the following precautions to prevent this danger:

§ Never perform wiring on a powered module.

§ Only use low power for this module as described in this manual and

only use certified transformers.

§ Connect transformers and soldering stations only in approved mains

sockets installed by an authorised electrician.

§ Observe cable diameter requirements.

§ Assembling the kit should only be done in closed, clean, dry rooms.

Beware of humidity.

§ If the humidity in the room is too high, please do not start working

until after a minimum of 2 hours of acclimatisation.

§ Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the

ready-built module.

Fire risk

Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause lifethreatening fire, burns and toxic smoke. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually needed. Use the correct soldering iron or station and never leave a hot soldering iron or station unattended.

Thermal danger

A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can cause skin burns. As a precaution:

§ use a heat-resistant mat during soldering,

§ always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand,

§ point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and

§ remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge.

Dangerous environments

A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room with enough freedom of movement.

Other dangers

Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they are inattentive and not responsible enough. Children under the age of 14 should not be allowed to work with this kit or the ready-built module.

Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges. Life threatening! Do not allow components to reach small children.

In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified personnel.

In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to electronic work must be adhered to.

EMC declaration

This product is developed in accordance with the European standards EN 55014 and EN 50082-1, tested corresponding to the EC - directive 89/336/EWG (EMVG of 09/11/1992, electromagnetic tolerance) and meets legal requirements.

To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance you must take the following precautions:

§ Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installed

by an authorised electrician.

§ Make no changes to the original parts and accurately follow the

instructions, circuit diagram and PCB layout included with this manual.

§ Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the

ready-built module.

Information: Motorola I and Motorola II format

The digital driving data is differently encoded and transmitted in the (old) Motorola I format and the (new) Motorola II format. The locomotive decoder is designed to evaluate data in Motorola II format. This limits its use in Motorola I format.

Since data of the auxiliary functions F1 to F4 sent in Motorola I Format cannot be evaluated by the locomotive decoder, it is not possible to switch these functions on or off when using Motorola I format.

Unlike the Motorola II format, no absolute direction data is sent in Motorola I format, but a single driving signal reverses the direction of travel. This has the following consequences:

1. If the change direction command is not recognized by the locomotive, it continues in the original direction.

2. If the decoder is switched off for some time and the direction data is not saved, the locomotive continues in its favourite direction when it is switched on again.

Operation overview

The decoder is designed for operation in Motorola I or II format and can be adjusted to one of 255 adresses. It evaluates the digital data sent by the central unit to its address and transmitts it to the locomotive.

Function speed level and direction of motion

The speed level set at the central unit and the change-direction command are transmitted to the locomotive by the decoder. At a direction change the existing direction of travel is not saved, so the locomotive continues in Motorola I format in its preferred direction after the decoder has been off for some time.

Velocity characteristics

Two velocity characteristics are available. By attaching a solder bridge the second velocity characteristic can be fixed. Compared to the set standard velocity characteristic this characteristic allows a higher maximum speed, however the shunting gear is no longer available.

Acceleration and brake delay

Three variants of acceleration and brake delay are available: fast, medium and slow. By attaching solder bridges one of the three variants can be fixed.

Function lighting

The lighting can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel from the central unit via the function "function". In addition, another optional accessory can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel.

Auxiliary functions in Motorola II format

The auxiliary functions F1 to F4 can be switched from the central unit. They are available to control optional accessories (e.g. smoke generator, cab lighting, noise module).

Shunting gear

If the standard velocity characteristic is set, the auxiliary function F4 allows you to switch into the shunting gear mode. In the shunting gear
