3. Important Notes
Congratulations on your purchase of an ESU SwitchPilot 3 Servo
decoder. This manual wants to introduce you step by step to the
possibilities of the decoder. Therefore, a request:
Please carefully work through this manual prior to commissioning.
Although all SwitchPilot decoders are very robust, a wrong con-
nection could destroy the device. If in doubt, avoid „expensive”
experiments.
• The SwitchPilot is intended exclusively for use with electric model
railway layouts. It may only be operated with the components de-
scribed in this manual. Any use other than that described in this
manual is not permitted.
• All connection work may only be carried out when the operating
voltage is switched off.
• The power supply units must be protected in such a way that in
the event of a short circuit, there is no risk of a cable fire. Use only
commercially available model train transformers manufactured ac-
cording to the VDE/EN standards, bearing the CE mark.
• Never operate the SwitchPilot unattended. The SwitchPilot is not
a (children’s) toy.
• Follow the principles of this manual when connecting the external
components. The use of other circuits may cause damage to the
decoder.
• The SwitchPilot is not waterproof: outdoor use is not intended and
is done at your own risk.
• Do not attempt to open your SwitchPilot module. Improper treat-
ment can destroy it.
