ABC-1
1. Getting started
The instructions will help you step by step with the safe and proper installation and use of
your brake module. Before you start to put the brake module into operation, read this manual
completely, especially the safety instructions and the section on possible errors and their
elimination. You will then know what you have to pay attention to and thus avoid errors that
sometimes can only be rectified with a lot of effort.
Keep the instructions in a safe place so that you can restore functionality later in the event of
any malfunctions. If you pass the brake module on to another person, also give the
instructions with it.
1.1. Contents of the package
Turnout decoder WD-34:
1 brake module ABC-1 (item no. 49-03106-01)
1 plastic spacer
1.2. Accessories
Connection cables
The use of stranded wire is recommended for making the connections. Stranded wires consist
of several thin individual wires and are therefore more flexible than rigid wires with the same
copper cross-section. Recommended cross-sections:
for all connections: > 0.25 mm²
1.3. Intended use
The brake module is intended for use in model construction, especially in model railway
layouts, according to the specifications in the manual. Any other use is not in accordance with
the intended use and will result in the loss of the warranty claim. Intended use also includes
reading, understanding and following all parts of the instructions. The brake module is not
intended to be used by children under the age of 14.
1.4. Safety instructions
Improper use and non-observance of the instructions can lead to incalculable hazards. Prevent
these dangers by carrying out the following measures:
Only use the brake module in closed, clean and dry rooms. Avoid moisture and splash water
in the environment. After condensation has formed, wait two hours for acclimatisation
before use.
Disconnect the brake module from the power supply before carrying out wiring work.
Supply the brake module only with extra-low voltage as specified in the technical data. Use
only tested and approved transformers.
Only plug the mains plugs of transformers into properly installed and fused earthed sockets.
When making electrical connections, ensure that the cable cross-section is sufficient.
Heating of the brake module during operation is normal and harmless.
