If you want to use the decoder factory settings, you have to connect
the lighting and the accessories as follows:
Front lighting: X5
Back lighting: X4
Accessory to be switched via F1: X7
Accessory to be switched via F2: X6
In case you want to operate the decoder in analogue mode and want to
switch the lighting depending on the direction of travel, you have to
connect the front and back lighting to the points X5 and X4
respectively.
Caution:
The return conductor for all functions (point X3) must under no
circumstances be connected to locomotive ground. Possible short
circuit! The locomotive decoder will be damaged in operation.
Tip:
If the second side of the lamps is connected to locomotive ground
the lamps often flicker in operation. You can avoid the flickering of the
lamps if you connect the second side to the return conductor (point X3)
instead of locomotive ground.
Caution:
If you connect the lamps to the return conductor for all functions (point
point X3), the lamps must be insulated. The lamps must not make
contact with metal parts of the locomotive. Possible short circuit! The
locomotive decoder will be damaged in operation.
Connecting the LEDs
The function outputs of the locomotive decoder switch against decoder
ground. For that reason you must connect the cathode (-) of the LED to
the output of the relevant function.
Caution:
If you use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) you must always operate them
via a series resistor. The series resistors differ depending on the current
and the model. Calculate the proper value or ask for it when purchasing
the LED.
