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).
Analogue mode
In analogue mode the decoder can be run like a change-over switch. This
means the decoder reacts with a change of direction on the shift impulse
of the speed control knob, as usual. In analogue mode the lighting is
always switched on. It is switched depending on the direction of travel.
You access the analogue mode by pressing the direction switch of the
analogue driving transformer until the light of the locomotive starts flashing.
To get back into the digital mode, press the direction switch of the analogue
driving transformer again until the light of the locomotive starts to flash.
FAQ
§
Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke.
Disconnect the system from the mains immediately!
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.
§
A lamp flickers (this is not a defect).
Possible cause: The lamp is connected with one side to locomotive
ground.
à
If you do not want the lamp to flicker, disconnect it from
locomotive ground, insulate it and connect it to the return
conductor (point X5).
