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 module 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
in a model railway. It is designed for the mounting in a model railway
locomotive or in a model railway carriage. It evaluates the Motorola II
format data sent by the digital central unit to its address. The decoder
has seven function outputs for the connection of additional accessories.
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
§ Touching powered, live components,
§ touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction,
§ short circuits,
§ connecting the circuit to another 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.
§ Mounting the module should only be done in closed, clean, dry
rooms. Beware of humidity.
§ 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 condensation build up, allow up to 2 hours for dispersion.
§ 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. Always keep the soldering
iron away from inflammable materials. Use a suitable soldering iron
stand. 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 from the
soldering tip.
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 the 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 module.
Operation overview
The decoder is designed for operation in Motorola II format and can be
adjusted to one of 255 addresses. It evaluates the digital data sent by
the central unit to its address and transmits it to the connected loads.
In Motorola I format the programming of the parameters and the
controlling of the functions is reduced.
Function outputs
The decoder has seven function outputs which can be switched on and
off via the function key „function“ and / or the auxiliary function keys
F1 to F4. They are available to connect optional accessories (e.g.
lighting, smoke generator, sound module, electric coupling). The
function outputs X4 and X5 as well as X7 and X8 are switched together.
The set states of the function outputs are saved. Even if the decoder is
without current for a longer time, the states are set when the decoder
is switched on again.

EnglishFD-4
Assignment: You can assign the function keys to the function outputs
X6, X9 and X10 freely. It is possible to assign several function keys to
one function output. Function outputs that are assigned to the function
key „function“ can be switched according to the direction of travel.
Example of use: The lighting of a shunting locomotive is assigned both
to the function key „function“ as to the function key F1. In shunting
operation you switch the lighting via F1 and in standard operation
according to the direction of travel via „function“.
The function outputs X4 and X5 are assigned firmly to the function F2,
the outputs X7 and X8 to the function F1.
Dimming: The function outputs X6, X9 and X10 can be dimmed
individually.
Example of use: The electric bulbs of older vehicles made for analogue
operation can be dimmed and thus must not be exchanged after the
mounting of the decoder.
Example of use: The front lighting is assigned to two different function
outputs. Via one function key you can switch the standard lighting, via
another the long distance lighting.
Check back of the address
In the programming mode you can query the address. The address is
transmitted coded by the flashing of the lighting of the vehicle.
Online-programming
The address and all functions can be programmed online. This means:
§ In order to start the programming mode and to set the desired
(new) address, it is not necessary to enter the present address.
§ In the programming mode the function to be set is active. This
makes it easier to assign the outputs to the function keys. The
dimming can be altered via the speed knob. As soon as it is set as
desired, they can be saved directly (online).

Restrictions in Motorola I format
In Motorola I format it is possible to set the address and to assign the
function outputs to the function key „function“. It is not possible to
perform a reset and to query the address. The functions F1 to F4
cannot be switched.
