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
§ Touching powered, live components,
§ touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction,
§ short circuits,
§ connecting the circuit to a higher voltage than designed,
§ impermissibly high humidity,
§ condensation of water
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.
§ After the condensation of water do not start working until after a
minimum of 2 hours of acclimatisation.
§ Mounting the module should only be done in closed, clean, dry
rooms. Beware of humidity.
§ Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the 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.
Page 35
English SBS-1
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.

Operation overview
The shadow-station allows you to supervize and to control up to 32 railway
sidings and one thoroughfare rail. The modular design of the shadowstation allows it to be adapted to individual needs. It is composed of:
§ one central module with an integrated rail module to supervize
and to control two railway sidings and one thoroughfare rail,
§ one display and operating module,
§ up to 15 further rail modules (optional).
The following operating modes can be set:
§ first-in-first-out-operation
§ random operation or
§ manual operation.
The current operating mode is saved and is automatically set when the
model railway is started the next time.
The modules automatically control the connected points: As soon as a
train has arrived in a siding, the connected points turn to
"thoroughfare". When the train has departed out of the railway siding
and as soon as the module has detected the siding to be vacant (i.e.
there are no current consumers left on the siding) the connected points
are set to "entrance into railway siding".
If all railway sidings are occupied a further train coming into the
shadow-station is automatically guided on to the thoroughfare rail.
As soon as the departure of a train from a railway siding is initiated, the
siding will be provided with power supply for ca. 10 seconds. If a
current consumer is detected on the railway siding afterwards (e.g. a
torn-off carriage with lighting) the module indicates a malfunction. The
Page 37
English SBS-1
malfunction will be automatically removed 5 to 6 seconds after the
current consumer has been taken off the rails.
The shadow-station control can be used in a.c. or d.c. systems as well
as in digital operation.

Safe and correct soldering
Caution:
Incorrect soldering can cause fires (through excessive heat). Avoid this
danger by reading the chapter Safety instructions again and
following the directions given.
If you have had training in soldering you can skip this chapter.
§ Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tip
clean so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder point
effectively.
Page 39
English SBS-1
§ When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or
soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components
and copper tracks.
§ Only use electronic tin solder with flux.
§ Solder fast: long soldering can destroy components and copper
tracks, and damages through plated holes.
§ Observe correct polarity orientation of semi-conductors, LEDs
electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits before soldering and
ensure that the solder time does not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise
components can be damaged.
§ Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the
part and the soldering spot are heated at the same time.
Simultaneously add solder (not too much). As soon as the solder
becomes liquid take it away. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a
few seconds so that the tin solder finds its way, then remove the
soldering iron.
§ Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after soldering.
§ To make a good soldering joint you must use a clean and
unoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp piece
of cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth.
§ Cut the wires after soldering directly above the PCB solder side with
a side cutter.
§ After placing the parts, please double check for correct polarity.
Check the PCB tracks for solder bridges, short circuits created by
accident. This would cause faulty operation or, in the worst case,
damage. You can remove excess solder by putting a clean soldering
tip on the spot. The solder will become liquid again and flow from
the soldering spot to the soldering tip.

Assembling the kit
You can skip this part if you have (a) ready-built module(s).
Preparation
Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. An
explanation of the separate electronic components follows:
Resistors
A resistor will "brake" the current. Mounting orientation is of no
importance. Because resistors are very small there is no readable
information on them, but their value is given with colour rings.
Key:
Value Colour ring
120 Ω brown - red - brown (gold)
1,5 kΩ brown - green - red (gold)
4,7 kΩ yellow - violet - red (gold)
The colour ring in brackets indicates the tolerance of the
resistor and is of no importance here.
Capacitors
There is a difference between “normal” capacitors and
electrolytic capacitors which have to be placed in a certain
direction. They have a very bright line at one end marked with
the minus (-) sign. That end must always be connected to
minus.
Diodes
Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only and have to
be placed in that direction. The characteristic for a diode is
the ring at one end. Place them as drawn in the PCB layout.

LEDs
LEDs are a special diode. When they are used in the current
direction they light up. They are available in diverse forms
(colour, shape, max. current, size, luminosity, etc. etc.). The
long wire of an LED is the anode (plus) side.
Transistors
Transistors are in fact power switches. They also have to be
placed in a certain direction. The PCB layout will help you to
place the transistor. The point in the PCB layout indicates the
lettered side of the transistor.
ICs
Depending on their type, ICs can take over different functions.
Some types are programmable and can be adjusted to special
requirements of a circuit. The notch on the IC shows the
mounting orientation. The PCB layout shows this marking.
Voltage regulator
Voltage regulators are ICs in a transistor housing. They
transform a varying uncontrolled input voltage into a
unvarying output voltage.
Relais
Relais are electronic change-over switches. The mounting
direction is preset by the order of the pins.
Rectifiers
Rectifiers convert alternating (a.c.) into direct (d.c.) voltage.
They should be inserted according to the polarity shown on
the PCB Layout.
Terminal strips
Terminal strips are solder-in screw-type terminals. They provide a
solder-free and safe connection of the cables to the circuit.
