§
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
Driving in digital operation
The locomotive decoder is a multiple protocol decoder, 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).
In the Motorola format the decoder can be driven in 14 or 27 speed levels.
Driving all 27 speed levels can be done only with central units which
support this mode (e.g. MasterControl). With central units which allow 14
speed levels only, it is only possible to select every second speed level.
Programming the decoder is done in DCC format by setting the
configuration variables and in Motorola format through the registers.
