How to use this manual
This manual gives step-by-step 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
The function decoder is designed for mounting in a model railway
locomotive or in a model railway carriage. It evaluates the data sent to
it by the digital central unit either in DCC or Motorola format. It can
switch four amplified and one unamplified output.
The module should not be mounted or operated by children under the
age of 14.
Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual
are mandatory for the user.
Any other use is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.
Caution:
Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They 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.

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 specified,
§ impermissibly high humidity,
§ condensation build 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 irons only in approved mains
sockets installed by an authorised electrician.
§ Observe cable diameter requirements.
§ After condensation build up, allow a minimum of 2 hours for
dispersion.
§ Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the module.

Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire,
which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation.
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 with this module.
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with
fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.
In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly, mounting
and operation 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 and tested in accordance with the European
standards EN 55014-1 and EN 61000-6-3 and meets the EC - directive
2004/108/EG and legal requirements.
To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance in operation 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 layut included with this
manual.
§ Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the
ready-built module.

Operation overview
Digital Operation
The decoder FD-M is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate with
and automatically recognises both DCC or Motorola formats.
The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used.
Motorola-Format: 255 addresses
DCC- Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses.
In the DCC format the decoder can be driven in all speed levels (14, 28
or 128), in Motorola format only in 14 speed levels.
Programming the decoder is done in DCC format by setting the
configuration variables and in Motorola format through the registers.
Analogue mode
The decoder can also be used in analogue model railway layouts. It can be
run with an A.C. speed control as well as with a D.C. speed control. When
putting the vehicle on the rails the decoder recognizes automatically if it is
run in analogue or digital mode and sets the corresponding operation
mode. The automatic recognition of the analogue mode can be switched
off.
Switching the function outputs on or off is not possible in analogue
mode. They can be programmed so that they are either switched on or
off in analogue mode. The effects set for the outputs are active in
analogue mode as well.
Outputs to be switched with F0 are switched on or off in analogue
mode according to the direction of travel.

Function outputs
The decoder has four amplified function outputs with a maximum
current of 1.000 mA each, which are available to connect optional
accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, sound module, electric
coupling) and one unamplified output with a maximum current of 10
mA. The decoder´s maximum total current is 1.500 mA.
In DCC format the function outputs can be switched via the function
keys F0 to F12. In Motorola format the function outputs can be
switched via the function keys F0 to F4. The functions F5 to F9 can be
switched via the function keys F1 to F4 and F0 by assigning them to a
second address. The functions F10 to F12 are not available in Motorola
format.
You can assign the function keys to the function outputs freely. It is
possible to assign several function keys to one function output.
SUSI interface
A SUSI module can be connected to the FD-M and programmed via the
decoder. It is not possible to read the SUSI module´s data via the
decoder.
The function decoder transmits the function status and the speed level
set at the central unit, to the SUSI module. This affects the SUSI
module´s outputs depending on the speed level (e.g. motor sound).
The FD-M allows the setting of the acceleration and braking delay so
that the functions depending on the speed level correspond to the
driving characteristics during accelerating and braking.
Effects of the function outputs
It is possible to set the following effects for all function outputs
individually:
Dimming: 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.
