Improvement of the driving characteristics
Locomotives with especially high current consumption or track sections
with bad contacts (e.g. some types of points) may give an
unsatisfactory performance. You can improve the locomotive
performance by soldering a capacitor 100 µF / 35 V between X10 and
X11 (see fig. 2).
FAQ
§
Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke.
Tip: The ICs 4 and 6 may warm up to 45 °C in operation. This does
not affect the functioning of the decoder.

Possible cause: one or more connections are soldered incorrectly.
à
Check the connections.
Possible cause: The connection of the motor is connected to locomotive
ground.
à
Disconnect the connection from locomotive ground.
§
The lighting goes on and off when the speed levels are turned up
or the lighting cannot be switched on or off.
Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digital control
unit do not correspond. Example: The central is set to the mode 28
speed levels, but the decoder to the mode 14 speed levels.
à
Change
the speed mode at the central and / or at the decoder.
If you cannot find the problem, please return the decoder for repair
(address on the cover page).
