Checking the package contents
Please make sure that your package contains:
one or five function decoders, depending on the version with or
without soldered connecting wires.
For mounting and connecting the decoder you need:
a soldering iron with temperature control and a thin tip and a deposit
stand or a controlled soldering station
a scraper, rag or sponge
a heat-resistant pad
a small pair of side cutters and wire strippers
tweezers and flat-nose pliers if necessary
electronic solder (preferably 0.5 to 0.8 mm diameter)
In order to connect a decoder without soldered connecting wires you
will also need wire. Recommended cross sections:
> 0,04 mm² for the connections to the function outputs,
> 0,05 mm² for the connections to the current collectors or slider
To bridge short current interruptions you need:
an electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of 100 to 470 µF and a proof
voltage of minimum 25 V or
a buffer circuit, e.g.
USV-mini 0.47 (capacity 0.47 F, item no. 70-02215 or 70-02216)
USV mini 1.0 (capacity 1.0 F, item no. 70-02225 or 70-02226)
USV mini 1.5 (capacity 1.5 F, item no 70-02235 or 70-02236).
To trigger switching operations automatically, you need:
a reed contact 1 x closing contact (e.g. item-no. 84-53110) or
a Hall-sensor (e.g. item-no. 84-53210)
permanent magnets (e.g. neodymium magnets Ø 3mm, thickness
= 2 mm, item-no. 84-53990)

2. Safety instructions
Caution:
Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They are
sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first
discharging yourself. Touching a radiator or other grounded metal part
will discharge you.
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 and connecting the circuit to another voltage than
specified,
impermissibly high humidity and 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.
Assembling and mounting the kit 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.
Page 6
tams elektronik
FD-R Basic.3 English
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 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.

English FD-R Basic.3
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 mount vehicle decoders.
Caution:
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with
fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.
In schools, training facilities, hobby and self-help workshops, the
assembly, installation and operation of electronic modules must be
supervised by trained personnel.
In commercial facilities, the relevant accident prevention regulations
must be observed.

3. Safe and correct soldering
Caution:
Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid
these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the
chapter Safety instructions.
Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to
approx. 300 °C.
Only use electronic solder with a flux.
Never use soldering fluid or soldering grease when soldering
electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components
and conductor paths.
Solder quickly: Soldering for too long can detach solder pads or
tracks or even destroy components.
Hold the soldering tip on the soldering point so that it touches the
wire and the pad at the same time. Add (not too much) solder
simultaneously. As soon as the solder begins to flow, remove it from
the soldering point. Then wait a moment for the solder to flow well
before removing the soldering iron from the soldering joint.
Do not move the created solder joint for about 5 seconds.
A clean, non-oxidized soldering tip is essential for a perfect soldering
joint and good soldering. Therefore, before each soldering, wipe off
excess solder and dirt with a damp sponge, a thick damp cloth or a
silicone wiper.
After soldering, check (preferably with a magnifying glass) whether
connections or tracks have been bridged with solder by mistake. This
can lead to malfunction or destruction of components or, in the
worst case, the complete circuit. You can re-liquefy excess solder
with the clean hot soldering tip. The solder then flows from the
board onto the soldering tip.

4.2. Analogue mode
The function decoder can also be used in analogue model railway
layouts run with an D.C. speed control, but not with an A.C. speed
control.
Automatic analogue recognition
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 analogue recognition can
be switched off, e.g.
Page 10
tams elektronik
FD-R Basic.3 English
if the decoder suddenly switches to analogue mode in digital
operation (e.g. as a result of interference voltages whose cause is
difficult to localise);
if a value for the Packet Time Out is programmed to perform a
forced stop in case of track voltage failure or shutdown.
Switching the function outputs
Switching the function outputs on or off is not possible in analogue
mode. The outputs can be programmed with the digital central unit 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 that are switched depending on the direction are switched on
or off in analogue mode according to the direction of travel. When
operated in analogue d.c. layouts this applies only to lamps or accessories
where the return conductor is connected to the decoder´s common return
conductor for all function outputs.
4.3. Function outputs
The decoder has four function outputs with a maximum current of 300
mA each (F0f, F0r) or 100 mA each (AUX1, AUX2) for the connection of
additional accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, electrical
coupling). Note: The maximum total current of the decoder is 700 mA.
Function mapping according to RCN-227
Assigning the functions to the outputs follows RailCommunity standard
RCN-227. It is possible to assign one or several outputs to each
function (F0 to F28, seperately for forward and backward motion for
each function). In addition, it is possible to assign another function as
an "OFF"-switch to the functions.
Page 11
tams elektronik
English FD-R Basic.3
This mode of function mapping allows to implement special features, e.g.:
Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel.
Shunting light: When switching to shunting mode the signals for
shunting locomotive are switched on and those for standard
operation switched off.
Switching off the locomotive´s taillights when connecting wagons.

Programming the effects
Flashing
By assigning the flashing function to 2 outputs
and the "inverted switching" function to one of
the two outputs, an alternating flashing is
generated.
The flashing frequency is set separately for each
output.
CV programming
(CV 58-60, CV 101-104)
Kick function
The outputs first receive full voltage for a
maximum of approx. 25.5 seconds and are then
switched off. The kick time is set separately for all
outputs.
Example of use: Some types of electrical couplings
require full voltage to decouple. However, the
voltage should be switched off after uncoupling in
order to protect the couplings.
CV programming
(CV 58-60, CV 99)
Dimming
To reduce the voltage at the output.
Example of use: The lights of older vehicles
intended for analogue operation can be dimmed
and then do not need to be replaced after the
decoder has been installed.

4.4. Triggering the actions
The function outputs are switched on and off and the shunting mode is
(de)activated:
through the assigned function(s) and / or
automatically via the switching input. The switching input is triggered
via external contacts, e.g. via reed contact or Hall sensors in
combination with permanent magnets in the track.
Assignment of the actions to the functions (Function Mapping)
The assignment of the actions controlled by the decoder to the
functions is freely selectable, each separately for forward and reverse
travel.

4.5. Feedback with RailCom
®
The function decoder FD-R Basic.3 is a RailCom transmitter and meets
the requirements of the RailCommunity standard RCN-217 "RailCom
DCC feedback protocol" (status 01.12.2019) for mobile decoders
(vehicle decoders). RCN-217 has been published on:
www.railcommunity.org
Sending RailCom messages is possible in layouts with a DCC signal on
the rails only. It is not possible to use the RailCom-function in a pure
Motorola environment.
Background information: RailCom-messages of vehicle decoders
In channel 1, the vehicle decoders transmit their DCC address after
Page 14
tams elektronik
FD-R Basic.3 English
each DCC command directed to any vehicle decoder. Channel 1 can be
set "dynamically", i.e. the decoder will only transmit its address in
channel 1 until a DCC command is directed to it. This frees the
channel for the messages of other decoders to which no command has
yet been sent or which are not yet known to the system.
In channel 2, vehicle decoders send their feedback as soon as a DCC
command is sent to their address.
Background information: Dynamic RailCom information
"Dynamic information" mean contents of CVs (RailComCVs 64-127)
which change during operation (e.g. real speed, reception statistics,
tank content). If needed, they are sent by the decoder spontaneously.
The reception statistics are kept by the vehicle decoder, and reported
as number of faulty data packages in relation to the total number of
data packages. These statistics allow conclusions on the transmission
quality between vehicle and rails.
The function decoder FD-R Basic.3 can send the following dynamic
RailCom information:

6. Connections
Avoid irreparable damage!
Observe the following instructions to avoid damage to the decoder:
1. No conductive connections to metal parts or rails!
Avoid all conductive connections between the decoder or consumers
connected to the return conductor for all functions on the one hand,
and metal parts of the vehicle or the rails on the other hand.
Connections are caused e.g. by insufficiently insulated connecting
cables (even at the stripped ends of unused connecting cables!) or
insufficient fastening and insulation of the decoder or consumers.
Danger of short circuit!
2. Do not connect the return conductor to vehicle ground!
You should under no circumstances connect the decoder´s common
return conductor for all function outputs to vehicle ground. Risk of
short circuit!
3. Exclude overload!
Before connecting lights and additional accessories, check that the
current is below the maximum permissible values and that the total
current is not exceeded. If the permissible current is exceeded, the
decoder may be damaged during commissioning.
4. Not for use in analogue AC systems!
The FD-R Basic.3 is only approved for analogue operation with DC
driving transformers. If it is used in analogue AC systems, irreparable
damage to the components of the decoder may occur.

6.2. Connecting accessories to the outputs
Caution:
The maximum current of the accessory must not exceed the maximum
current of the output to which you connect it. The output may
otherwise be irreparably damaged!
Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps, otherwise the
lamps might not light. Connect the lamps and the accessories to the
function outputs of the decoder. If the lamp or the accessory is already
connected with one side to vehicle ground, the connection is complete.
If not, connect the second side of the lamp or the accessory to the
decoder´s common return conductor for all function outputs.
You find the factory (default) settings in the lists with the connector pin
assignments (page 18). You can assign the outputs to the function keys
voluntarily by setting the configuration variables.

English FD-R Basic.3
6.3. Connecting LEDs to the function outputs
The decoder´s function outputs switch respective to the decoder
ground. For that reason you must connect the cathodes (-) of the LEDs
to the function outputs and the anodes (+) to the decoder´s common
return conductor for all function outputs (RC).
Caution:
You must always operate LEDs via a series resistor! Otherwise LEDs will be
destroyed when put into operation or have a significantly reduced duration
of life. If you do without a series resistor, other components take over
their function (e.g. rails, wheels, current collectors). This can lead to a
change in the digital signal and thus to interference in digital operation.
Determine the required resistance value for the peak value of the
working voltage available at the return conductor (RC).
Determining the peak value of the working voltage
with regulated boosters:
output (= track) voltage of the booster - 1 V*
with not regulated boosters or analogue driving transformers:
(1,4 x the nominal voltage specified on the transformer) - 1 V*
* 1 V gets "stuck" in the rectifier of the decoder.
Serial connection of LEDs
When you want to connect several LEDs to one output you can switch them
in series via a common series resistor. The current consumption is max. 20
mA for all LEDs, depending on the series resistor´s value. The maximum
number of LEDs to be connected in series results from
Peak value of the operating voltage
- sum of the forward voltages of all LEDs
> 0
The advantage of this solution is the low current consumption.
Page 20
tams elektronik
FD-R Basic.3 English
In order to determine the necessary series resistor for a serial LED´s
connection first add the forward voltages of all LEDs. The forward
voltages depend on the lighting colour and should be given in the
technical specifications. In case there is no manufacturer information
available, you can take as a basis 4 V for white and blue LEDs and 2 V
for yellow, orange, red and green LEDs.
The remaining voltage has to be "eliminated" by a resistor. The formula
for the calculation of the resistor is:
required RV [Ohm] = ( UB [V] – ∑ UF [V] ) / (IF [mA] x 0.001)
UB = operating voltage (peak value) | ∑ UF = sum of the forward voltages of all LEDs
IF = current with max. luminosity
Parallel connection of LEDs
Alternatively, you can connect several LEDs in parallel, each via a series
resistor of its own. The current consumption is max. 20 mA for all LEDs,
depending on the series resistor´s value. The maximum number of LEDs to
be connected in parallel results from
maximum current at the output
- sum of the current consumption of all LEDs
> 0
Advantageous with this solution is that the LEDs already lighten when
their forward voltage has been reached (2 to 4 V, depending on the
fluorescent colour), which makes this solution suitable for analogue
mode. Disadvantageous is the high current consumption.
The formula for the calculation of the resistor is:
required RV [Ohm] = ( UB [V] – UF [V] ) / (IF [mA] x 0.001)
UB = operating voltage (peak value) | UF = forward voltage of the LED
IF = current with max. luminosity
In order to save current, you can limit the LEDs´current consumption to
10 mA, which normally does not cause a visible loss of luminance.
Page 21

English FD-R Basic.3
6.4. Connecting inductive loads
When connecting inductive loads (e.g. TELEX couplings, relays or other
accessories with coils), you should switch a free-wheeling diode (e.g.
1N400x) in parallel, in order to avoid damage at the output. Check to
connect the anode of the diode to the function output.
Connecting accessories via a relay
When you want to switch an accessory / accessories via the decoder,
which connection would lead to exceeding the maximum current at the
output or of the decoder, you can switch the accessories via a relay
(e.g. 1xUm 1A 12V, item-number84-61010) and connect them directly
to the vehicle´s current collector.
The current consumed by the relay depends on its type. The relay
named in the example needs approx. 100 mA.
As described in the section "Connecting inductive loads" you should
switch a free-wheeling diode (e.g. 1N400x) in parallel to the relay.

FD-R Basic.3 English
6.5. Connecting the switching input
The switching input switches against decoder ground and can therefore
be connected to all (external) circuits that can be used to establish a
ground connection. It is possible, for example, to connect reed contacts
or Hall sensors which establish the ground connection as soon as they
enter the magnetic field of a permanent magnet.
Connection of a reed contact
You can use both normally open contacts and changeover switches
(changeover contacts).
Note: The glass bulbs of reed contacts are sensitive to
mechanical damage!
Connect reed contacts to the switching input and the ground
connection of the decoder (GND). Reed contacts are not polarized, so
you can assign the two connections as you wish.

6.6. Connecting a buffer capacitor/buffer circuit
In sections with bad contact to the rails (e.g. when running over
turnouts) or with a (e.g. construction-related) bad current consumption
of the vehicle, the power supply of the decoder can be interrupted
briefly. In analogue mode the effects are usually small, but in digital
mode massive disturbances can be the result: e.g. flickering of the
lights up to automatic switching to analogue mode. This can be
remedied by connecting a backup capacitor or a special buffer circuit.
Connection of a backup capacitor
The capacitor must have a capacity of at least 100 µF and a maximum
of 470 F and a proof voltage of at least 25 V. Pay attention to the
correct polarity when connecting!
Fig. 5: Connection of a backup
capacitor ("buffer electrolytic
capacitor")
Connection of a buffer circuit
The capacity of buffer circuits is considerably larger than that of buffer
capacitors (e.g. UPS-mini with 0.47 F, 1.0 F or 1.5 F). Use a buffer
circuit according to RCN 530 that can be connected without a control
line, e.g. UPS-mini, part no. 70-0221x, 70-0222x, 70-0223x.
When connecting, follow the instructions for the buffer circuit.

6.7. Fixing the decoder
After having finished all connections you should fix the decoder, to
avoid short circuits by contact to metal parts of the vehicle, for
example. You can use double sided adhesive tape for it or a decoder
holder (item number70-01810 or 70-01820), for example.

FD-R Basic.3 English
7. Programming
Programming with DCC central units
You can program the configuration variables (CV) of the decoder from
the digital central unit, you can use main track programming as well.
See the chapter in the manual of your central unit where the byte wise
programming of configuration variables (CVs) (Direct programming)
and main track programming (POM) are explained.
Register programming is not supported by the decoder. With DCC
central units that allow only register-programming it is not possible to
program the FD-R Basic.3.
Programming with Motorola central units
In Motorola format the settings are saved in registers. The registers
have the same numbers as the configuration variables (CVs) for the
DCC format.
Please note: If you use a central unit for both DCC and Motorola format
it is recommended to program the decoder in the DCC format. After
having finished programming the decoder it is possible to control it in
Motorola format as well.
Please note: You should connect a lamp or a LED to at least F0f or F0r
before starting to program the decoder with a Motorola central unit, as
the decoder shows the status of the programming by flashing the
lighting connected to these outputs. The flashing frequency shows,
which input the decoder expects:
Slow flashing Fast flashing
Number of the register to be
programmed
Value of the register to be
programmed
Page 27

English FD-R Basic.3
Put the vehicle on a track oval or a track section connected to the central
unit’s track output (not to the connection for the programming track).
Make sure no other vehicle than the one you intend to program is set on
the track as the decoder inside this vehicle might be programmed as well.
Starting

Programming the decoder
1. Switch on the central unit or
perform a reset at the central
unit (pushing "stop" and "go")
simultaneously.
2. Set the current decoder
address (default value: 3) or the
address "80".
3. Set all functions to "off".
4. Push button "stop"

8. Configuration variables and registers
The following lists shows all configuration variables (for the DCC
format) and registers (for the Motorola format), that can be set for the
function decoder.
Registers and configuration variables (CVs) have identical numbers,
they are shown in the tables in the column "No.". The defaults are
those values set in the state of delivery and after a reset.
Please note: With variables destined to set several parameters, the
input value has to be calculated by adding the numerical values
assigned to the desired parameters.

8.2. Function mapping
The assignment of the actions controlled by the decoder
switching the function outputs on and off
(de)activation of the special function "Shunting mode / Shunting
light" (SM)
to the functions is carried out according to RailCommunity standard
RCN-227. Note: Function mapping is not possible with pure Motorola
central units.
To get access to the corresponding memory area (the so-called
"page"), the values for "Function mapping" must be set in CV 31 and 32
(= default values).

According to RCN-227, eight configuration variables (CVs) are assigned
to each function (F0 to F28) (four each for forward ("f") and reverse
("r"). Six of them are used for the function decoder FD-R Basic.3 (3 for
forward and 3 for reverse):
2 CVs for the outputs (F0f, F0r, AUX1 and AUX2): Here you set
which outputs are switched with the function.
1 CV for the special function "Shunting mode / Shunting light" (SM):
Here you set which function is used to activate the shunting mode.
Switch-off function: Here you can define a function with which you
can switch off the actions assigned to the function when switching
on. The value "255" determines that the actions are switched off
with no function.

9. Check list for troubleshooting
Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke.
Disconnect the system from the mains immediately!
Possible cause: one or more connections are soldered incorrectly.
→ Check the connections.
Possible cause: Short circuit between the decoder or accessories
connected to the retrun conductor for all functions and metal parts
of the locomotive or the rails. → Check the connections. A short
circuit can result in irreparable damage.
Problems with switching of the functions
An accessory / a light does not react to switching commands.
Possible cause: The accessory is defective or incorrectly connected.
→ Check the accessory / the connections.
Possible cause: The output is defective (e.g. due to overload or short
circuit). → Send in the decoder for check / repair (with costs).
The lighting goes on and off when the speed levels are turned up or
the lighting cannot be switched on or off.
Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digital control
unit do not correspond. Example: The central is set to the mode 28
speed levels, but the decoder to the mode 14 speed levels. → Change
the speed mode at the central and / or at the decoder.

Problems with switching via the switching input
After passing a permanent magnet in the rails no action is activated.
Possible cause: The reed contact or the Hall sensor has been
mounted incorrectly. → Check the connections.
Possible cause: The distance to the magnet is too large or the
magnet is too weak. → Alter the position of the magnet (if possible)
or use a stronger one.
Possible cause: The magnet has been mounted incorrectly polarized.
→ Alter the mounting direction.
Possible cause: The assignment of the function to the switching
input is wrong or the minimum switch-on time is too short. → Check
the inputs in CV 62 and 97.
Problems in analogue mode
The decoder does not react in analogue mode.
Possible cause: The analogue mode is switched off. → Alter the value
for CV 29.
The decoder does not switch to analogue mode (or switches over
although it is still digitally controlled).
Possible cause: The value in CV 11 is set too high or too low. → Alter
the value and check the settings in operation.
