5 Connection and Operation
5.1 Handling
The product consists of sensitive electronic components. Improper handling may destroy them.
Prior to handling the board, please discharge yourself from electrostatic charge. To do this, touch a
metal object (earthed), e.g. a metal PC casing. Try to touch the board only at the edges and avoid
touching any electronic components or copper routes on the board.
5.2 Mounting
Mount the module properly, but not overly tight, to the model railway framework.
If the module has an enclosure: Use the four holes at the corners (3 mm diameter) of the board for
mounting. Use self tapping screws with pan head, head diameter 6 mm maximum. Tighten the
screws carefully, so that the circuit board does not warp.
If the module is a bare board without enclose: For mounting use the four outer holes at the cor-
ners. These holes have 3 mm diameter. Use self tapping screws with pan head, head diameter
6 mm maximum. Use spacers (little plastic tubes) between circuit board and mounting surface.
Tighten the screws carefully, so that the circuit board does not warp.
Also consider the instructions related to heat generation in chapter 3.3.
5.3 Connections – Version “Bistabil”
This section describes the version “Bistabil” of the Bogobit Bremsmodul. Section 5.4 describes the
version “Monostabil”, and section 5.5 the version “Bremsgenerator”.
5.3.1 Wiring Terminals
All external connections of the brake module are labelled on the board and explained in the table
below:
Label
Function
0
digital track voltage input
center stud track: B is the red wire to the center studs, 0 is the brown wire to the rails
ground.
two-rail track: B is the wire to rail on the right hand side (only this right rail has the isola-
ted track section), 0 is the wire to the continuous rail on the left hand side. Note: the
color code or polarity of the electrical track connection is irrelevant, essential is right
and left rail as seen when approaching the signal.
B
B#
(brake track section) voltage output to be connected to the isolated track section. (The '#'
character shall represent rails and sleepers).
SG
(signal green) one pole of the relay's single pole double throw contact. This is the throw
position in state “proceed” = green. Can also be used for wiring of a stop track section.
