NOTE: External energy storage with 

MS590

 

  Due to the extreme minituarization, the “Next decoder” MS5990 

     does NOT contain previsions to connect an external energy storage directly. 
It is possible to connect ELCOs (practically without limitation) to “GEM. Pluspol” 

(common positive) and ground, although, WITH additional components and  

a dielectric strength suitable for the running voltage (usually 25 V): 

 
 
 
 

The resistor prevents an inrush current too high, the diodes enable Service 

mode programming, software updates and sound loading by dropping the volt-

age in spite of higher capacities. 

  

ZIMO storage modules 

with 

Tantals

 or 

Goldcaps

 (currently, 

     at the time of writing this edition of the instruction manual, in development) 

can also be connected to “Gem. Pluspol (+)” (common positive) and ground; in 

contrast to the variants described beforehand, a much bigger capacity is possi-

ble, but also space and costs are higher.

STACO1

 

 
 
 

 

 STACO1  10 x 7,3 x 2 mm        STACO1 (centre) connected to miniature sound decoder 

 (CAD  enlarged )                        MS490N and 2 miniature gold caps in series (scale 1:1) 

 
The StayAlive controller is connected to the terminals (solder pads or wires) 

“common positive” and "GROUND" of the decoder (two-pole!). 
The STACO1 comes with 3 mini-goldcaps as the actual energy storage, 

which, connected in series, represent a capacity of 100,000µF. Of course, 

all 3 should preferably be connected, but it also works with 2 (with about 

50% runtime) if there is a lack of space. The STACO1 board contains a 

step-up voltage converter that sucks the gold caps from their fully charged 

state (8 V if 3 of them; 5.5 V if 2) to their almost fully discharged state (2 V) 

and delivers a constant voltage of 10 V. This is enough to drive and to sup-

ply the sound amplifier (which runs on 5 V) without interruption and without 

loss of volume. 
The wire connections between the controller board and the mini gold caps 

make their local separation possible, and thus in many cases the accommo-

dation of the StayAlive technology.
