Hint:
If a waggon lacks the lamps that are assigned to the automatic functions, the output in question can
be taken out of the automatic mode and thus be reassigned freely. Generally, CV160 is set to 255. If
an output is only controlled manually, the Bit assigned to this output has to be set to 0.
Connecting the TC-H0 coupling to the WD-GWx Decoder
The automatic conductive TC-H0 coupling is connected using the 4 cables with the 6-pin connecter.
Next the cables are drawn parallel through the NEM pocket. With an approx. distance of 2-4 cm
from the end of the pocket, the cables are pulled through into the wagon and connected to the WD-
GWx. It is important to ensure that the coupling and the mechanics of the couplings move freely.
All coupling cables of front facing end (forward driving direction) of the wagon carry the base col-
our white, for the rear end they carry the base colour yellow. The difference in base colours are to
assist with connecting to the decoder. The coupling is symetrical. For wagons there is no right or
wrong way of installation, you can choose which end is white and which yellow.
Control cars are an exception. The yellow coupling end is defined as the position of the head light.
Additional light bar WD-PW-DS for double deck coaches
The especially for double deck coaches constructed light bar WD-PW-DS can be connected to the
two decoder types WD-PW290 (length: 290 mm) and WD-PW260 (length: 260 mm). This addi-
tional light bar WD-PW-DS has the same optical features as the light bars used in decoder WD-
PWxxx. WD-PW-DS only needs to be plugged into the main bar, using the provided cable. The
colours are dimmed from the main bar so that WD-PW-DS and WD-PWxxx have the same intensi-
ty.
WD-PW-DS has 6 light points and is available in the following lengths: 227 mm /173 mm /120
mm.
If the bar is too long for the bottom part of the double deck coach, it can be shortened in two
steps.
Before shortening the light bar, please study the above drawing carefully! If the light bar shall only
be shortened by one light point, only shorten that end that is marked with the number 1. The 4-pin
connector that is shaded in the drawing and that established the connection to the main bar WD-
PWxxx shall serve for your orientation.
If both sides need to be shortened, both predetermined breaking points need to be broken off.
Please read the instructions in detail for the TC-H0!
Make sure that you shorten the bar at the two predetermined breaking points and in the indicated
order. This procedure cannot be reversed!
