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.
Mounting 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.
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 the modules.
Caution:
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, mounting and
operation must be supervised by qualified personnel.
In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to
electronic work must be adhered to.

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 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.
Only use electronic tin solder with flux.
When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or
soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components
and copper tracks.
Solder quickly: holding the iron on the joints longer than necessary can
destroy components and can damage copper tracks or soldering eyes.
Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the
wire and the soldering eye 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 solder flows into the joint, then remove the
soldering iron.
The joint should be held still for about 5 seconds after soldering.
To make a good soldering joint you should 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.
After soldering check (preferably with a magnifying glass) tracks for
accidental solder bridges and short circuits. This would cause faulty
operation or, in the worst case, permanent 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.

4. Operation overview
Possibilities of use
The carriage lighting WIB-33.2 can be used in digital layouts driven in
DCC or Motorola format as well as in analogue model railroad layouts.
For the power supply digital boosters or analogue a.c. or d.c.
transformers can be used.
Design of the PCB
The carriage lighting WIB-33.2 have inserted 8 warm white LEDs. On
the PCB (or after shortening the PCB, on the remaining section 1) are
apart from the LEDs:
RailCom compatible function decoder for DCC and Motorola format,
three switchable outputs for supplementary loads (e.g. back lighting,
additional lighting, electric couplings),
integrated smoothing capacitor as a flickering protection,
connecting points for two external bridging capacitors to supply the
LEDs and the function outputs of the decoder.

The length of the PCB as well as number and layout of the LEDs
correspond to the carriage lighting WIB-13.2. Thus the (analogue)
carriage lighting WIB-13.2 is suitable especially for combining with the
lighting of the 30s series in a block train.
Driving in digital Operation
There is a function decoder integrated on the PCB, 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).
Programming the decoder is done in DCC format by setting the
configuration variables and in Motorola format through the registers.
Switching the functions in digital mode
The LEDs on the PCB, the three function outputs of the decoder and
further functions are switched via the function F0 to F15 in DCC format.
In Motorola format the function keys F0 to F4 are available. 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 F15
are not available in Motorola format.
The assignment of the function keys to
the LEDs,
the function outputs of the decoder,
further functions (switching on and off the orientation light and the
dimmer switch)
can be done freely. It is possible to assign several function keys to one
LED, one function output or one function.

Operation in analogue mode
The carriage lighting WIB-33.2 can also be used in analogue model
railway layouts. 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 LEDs and 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.
In analogue layouts supplied with d.c. voltage, the function outputs
switched with F0 are switched on and off according to the direction of
travel. This is not possible in analogue a.c. layouts as the decoder does
not recognize the impulse for changing the direction of travel.
Activating the LEDs
The eight LEDs can be switched on and off individually, in groups or
corporately. By programming the decoder accordingly you can
set the LEDs´ brightness individually for each LED,
switch the LEDs according to the direction of travel,
simulate fluorescent tubes when switching on the LEDs,
set the duration of the switching on of the fluorescent tube
simulation until reaching a constant light and a defective fluorescent
tube individually for each LED.
You can switch from standard lighting to orientation light with a
function key (e.g. for holded carriages or sleeping cars). The orientation
light´s brightness is set corporately for all LEDs.
Instead of programming the LEDs´ brightness with a digital control unit
you can set it with a trim-pot (corporately for all LEDs). The brightness
programmed via CVs or register remains active, the settings at the trimpot only alter the brightness with a factor valid for all LEDs.
Activating the addtional function outputs
There are three outputs for external loads on the PCB controlled by the
integrated decoder. The output AUX2 is designed for the connection of
LEDs for the back lighting. The necessary series resistors are integrated
on the PCB.
The two outputs AUX1 and AUX3 are available e.g. for the connection
of additional lighting (e.g. in the driver´s cabin or in the toilet cabin) or
electric couplings. Their maximum current is 300 mA.
It is possiblie to switch all outputs dependent on the direction of travel
and to dim them.
Besides, the two outputs AUX 1 and AUX 3 provide:
Kick function for special types of electric couplings needing a
reduction of the connected voltage after the switching operation in
order to protect the coupling.
Random switch switching on and off the output in irregular intervals
(e.g. for the lighting of a toilet cabin).
Connecting a light dependent resistor
When a light dependent resistor is connected, the LEDs and the
decoder´s function outputs can be switched on and off automatically
depending on the surrounding lighting. The sensivity is set via CVs or
registers. You can activate the dim switch with a function key.
The dim switch effects only those outputs switched on. As soon as the
outputs have been switched off by the dim switch they cannot be
switched on with a function key. In this case the dim switch has to be
deactivated first.
With the initial settings the LEDs are switched on as soon as the
surrounding lighting under-runs the set limit value. It is possible to
invert this functionality, e.g. in order to automatically switch off the
lighting in a shadow station.
Flickering protection
An integrated smoothing capacitor supplies the LEDs when short
current interruptions occur, which prevents the lighting from flickering
when points or smudges on the rails are crossed. In case the integrated
smoothing capacitor is not sufficient, you can connect an additional
external bridging capacitor with a minimal voltage sustaining capability
Page 7

of 16 V or two goldcaps with a minimal voltage sustaining capability of
5,5 V.
In order to supply the three function outputs of the decoder you can
connect a second additional external bridging capacitor. It is not
possible to use goldcaps here, as the minimal voltage sustaining
capability is 25 V or 35 V (when connecting the PCB to analogue a.c.
voltage).
Feedback with RailCom
RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model
railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of
the address and the CV values from the decoder to the digital control
unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be
designed to send the RailCom messages.
When so programmed, the integrated function decoder sends
(continuously) the (basic, extended or consist) address to the detectors
(so-called RailCom broadcast datagramm) and transfer a CV message
after a DCC CV read-out command.
Sending RailCom messages is only possible in layouts with a DCC signal
on the rails. That is the reason why it is not possible to use the
RailCom-function in a pure Motorola environment, but only when at
least one other locomotive or function decoder on the layout is
controlled in DCC format.
