Introduction
Fig 15: OC32/NG (2 modules shown)
The OC32 can be used to control all accessories on and around your railroad and many other
applications. This manual applies to the use of the OC32/NG version only. If you have the
previous version of the OC32 (not /NG), please refer to previous versions of this Dinamo P&P
manual.
The possibilities of the OC32 are almost infinite. It is impossible to cover all topics in this
Dinamo P&P manual. We therefore limit the description here to how you power the OC32/NG
and how you can connect the OC32/NG to the Dinamo Network.
In most cases the OC32 has to be configured before it can be used to control devices in
your miniature world. This configuration is done by the OC32Config program. For a
description how to connect devices to your OC32 and how to configure the OC32, please
consult the appropriate OC32 manuals.

Mounting the OC32/NG
As the TM44, the OC32/NG is intended to be placed behind or underneath your miniature
world. The OC32/NG is very flexible and configurable. Note that the OC32/NG can be used
simultaneously for many other things beside your train-accessories. Use the flexibility to
place your OC32/NG’s at strategic locations throughout your miniature world and keep the
wiring to your devices short and tidy.
The OC32/NG (bare unit) has 4 mounting holes (3mm). Preferably use spacers
(approximately 10 mm) when mounting the OC32/NG, so that the back of the module does
not get into contact with the mounting panel. This is especially important when you mount
the OC32/NG on a metal surface! When mounting the OC32/NG on a metal surface, keep
especially in mind that the mounting holes are connected to 0V/GND and that the metal
mounting surface will carry the same potential in this case.
The OC32/NG’s (as bare unit) are ”stackable” by using M3 x 20mm spacers between the
modules. You can even stack TM44’s and OC32/NG’s since the mounting holes are aligned.
When mounting the modules, make sure to allow for enough space to insert the connectors
including cables and make sure you can still access the dipswitches at the side.
