Should you decide not to read this manual
you will miss out on an important lecture – but you can still catch up at any time!
Installing the TC-H0 Coupling
Step 1
Fit each end of the wagon with a coupling (cable base colours: white front, yellow rear)
(see the TC-H0 coupling Instruction Manual).
Step 2
The white / black cable in chamber 1 put (see also page 15)
Insert the white/red cable into hole 2.
Insert the white/grey cable into hole 3.
Insert the white/pink cable into hole 4.
Step 3
The yellow / black cable in chamber 1 put
Insert the yellow/red cable into hole 2.
Insert the yellow/grey cable into hole 3.
Insert the yellow/pink cable into hole 4.
Step 4
The plug connector with the yellow cables on the page pocket which is marked by Lötpads
on both pages of the plug connector (see also page 13 following)
Put the connectors with the white cables on the opposite end.
What you have achieved so far:
1.
A locomotive, equipped with a LD-1x decoder and TC-H0, will automatically identify the
coupled wagon, no matter where it is located within the train set.
2.
The locomotive will read and process the WD-PWxxx data
3.
The locomotive can uncouple the wagon, usually by activating function 1 (see CV201 of
the locomotive decoder).
4.
The locomotive will automatically know on which end of the locomotive the wagon is
hitched and which end is facing the locomotive.
5.
The wagon's interior lighting can be turned on and off with the TCCS-addresse in speed
step 0 (all wagons) or with the speed step according to the position within the train set. The
brightness may also be adjusted via the locomotive decoder's CVs (CV 178 & CV 179).
6.
The colour gradation of the interior lighting can be adjusted in fine degrees from bright
yellow to bright white.
Connecting the wagon’s rear lights
Step 1
Carry out steps 1 to 4 to connect the TC-H0 couplings.
Step 2
Connect the rear light on the „white“ coupling end to the decoder's soldering contacts that
are located on the left side when facing direction of travel (looking on the components'
side). If you are using LEDs, the anode (positive pole) of the LED with the soldering point
on top (decoder's components' side) needs to be connected with the other pole where the
soldering point is at the bottom (side of LED). For light bulbs the polarity is irrelevant.
Note: Both lighting connections should be insulated from the track! T4T also offers suita-
