LED-Control

English

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.
