1. Getting started
This manual applies to the following lighting modules, so for:
LED Control
Basic
,
train rear lighting ZSB-2,
driver´s cab lighting FB-11, FB-12 and FB-13.
Provided there are no other details given for particular sections, the
information given applies to all modules.
How to use this manual
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct fitting and
connecting of the modules, and operation. Before you start, we advise you
to read the whole manual, particularly the chapter on safety instructions
and the checklist for trouble shooting. 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 modules are designed for mounting and use in model railroad
vehicles driven in analogue or digital controlled layouts. Any other use
is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.
The modules should not be mounted by children under the age of 14.
Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual
are mandatory for the user.

Required materials
For mounting and connecting the module you need:
an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) or a regulated soldering
iron with a fine tip and a soldering iron stand,
a tip-cleaning sponge,
a heat-resistant mat,
a small side cutter and wire stripper,
as necessary a pair of tweezers and long nose pliers,
thin connecting wire.
With LED Control
Basic
: LEDs for the vehicle´s lighting.
If required: a bridging capacitor (> 100 µF) with a voltage sustaining
capability of
> 16 V (when connected to a power supply < 18 V) or
> 25 V (when connected to a power supply > 18 V).

2. 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 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.
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.
