Introduction/Safety instruction:
You have purchased the 4-fold switch decoder
SA-DEC-4
for
your model railway as a kit or as finished module.
The
SA-DEC-4
is a high quality product that is supplied within
assortment of
L

T
echnik (
LDT
).
We wish you having a good time using this product.
The switch decoder
SA-DEC-4
of the
Digital-Professional-
Series
can be easily installed and used on your digital railway.
The
colored point
on the
receiver device
indicates to which
digital system the decoder can be adapted.
In case the
receiver device
is marked
red
the decoder is
suitable for
Märklin-Digital~
respectively for
Märklin-Motorola
layouts.
In case the
receiver device
is marked
yellow
the
SA-DEC-4
will
be suitable for the
DCC Data format,
used for instance at the
systems of
Lenz-Digital Plus, Arnold-, Märklin-Digital=,
Intellibox, TWIN-CENTER, Roco-Digital, EasyControl, ECoS,
KeyCom-DC, Digitrax, DiCoStation
and
Zimo
.
The decoder
SA-DEC-4
is
multi digital
and can be installed to
the
Intellibox
without any problems.
The finished module comes with
24 month warranty
.
•
Please read the following instructions carefully. Warranty will
expire due to damages caused by disregarding the operating
instructions.
LDT
will also be not liable for any consequential
damages caused by improper use or installation.
•
Also, note that electronic semiconductors are very sensitive to
electrostatic discharges and can be destroyed by them.
Therefore, discharge yourself before touching the modules on
a grounded metal surface (e.g. heater, water pipe or protective
earth connection) or work on a grounded electrostatic
protection mat or with a wrist strap for electrostatic protection.
Connecting the decoder to your
digital model railway layout:
•
Attention: Before starting the installation switch off the
drive voltage by pushing the stop button from the
command station or disconnect the main supply.
The decoder receives the
digital information
via the
clamp
KL2
.
Connect the clamp with a rail or even better connect the clamp
directly to the command station or to a booster assuring supply
of digital information free from any interference.
Pay attention to the mark at clamp
KL2.
The color markings
'
Black/Schwarz
' and
'Red/Rot'
next to the clamp are used for
Arnold-Digital (old)
and
Märklin-Digital=.
Other systems are using the letters '
J
' and '
K
'.
If you use the decoder for a
Märklin-Digital~
respectively
Märklin-Motorola
installation please attend to the colors marks
'red/rot'
and
'brown/braun'
.
The decoder receives the
voltage-supply
via the two-pole
clamp
KL1
. The voltage shall be in the range of 12 to 18V~
(alternating voltage output of a model railway transformer) or 15
to 24Volt = (direct voltage output of an insulated power supply
unit).
Now connect the consumers (e.g. illumination, motors or turnout-
and signal coils) to the outputs 1 to 4. The contact marked
'COM'
is the common connection for the bistable relay.
Programming the decoder address:
For programming the decoder address you have to connect a
consumer to the output 1. As it is possible to hear the switching
of the bistable relay the connection of a consumer is not
mandatory.
•
Switch on the power supply of your model rail way.
•
Depress the programming key S1. Do not touch the
integrated circuits of the pc-board because any electrostatic
discharge can destroy the IC`s.
•
The relay connected to output 1 will now switch automatically
every 1.5 seconds. This indicates that the decoder is in the
programming mode.
