Analogue mode
The decoder can also be used in analogue model railway layouts run
with a D.C. speed control (not with an A.C. speed control). When putting
the vehicle on the rails the decoder recognizes automatically if it is run
in analogue or digital mode and sets the corresponding operation
mode. The automatic recognition of the analogue mode can be
switched off.
It is not possible to switching the function outputs on or off in analogue
mode. Outputs to be switched with F0 are switched on or off in
analogue mode according to the direction of travel with layouts run with
a D.C. speed control, provided the return conductor of the lamps or
accessories is connected to the decoder´s return conductor for all
functions.
4.2. Function outputs
The decoder has three function outputs for the connection of optional
accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, electric coupling):
two outputs with a maximum current of 300 mA each and
one output with a maximum current of 100 mA each.
Effects of all function outputs
Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel.
Flashing: frequency, keying ratio (= ration of on to off) and starting
time within a phase can be set. Examples of use: single flashlights,
alternating flashlights or strobe lights.
Dimming: Example of use: The electric bulbs of older vehicles made
for analogue operation can be dimmed and thus must not be
exchanged after the mounting of the decoder.
