NOTE: External energy storage to
MS560
The MS560 "KATO decoder" does NOT include provisions for direct connection
of external energy storage devices.
ELCOs can be connected (practically without limitation) between
“Gem. Pluspol”
(Common positive pole) and MASSE (GROUND), but WITH additional compo-
nents and a dielectric strength suitable for the driving voltage (usually 25 V):
The resistor prevents too high inrush current; the diodes enable service mode
programming as well as software update and sound charging despite larger ca-
pacities due to the voltage drop.
In addition to the actual (main) decoder - in this case the MS560 sound decoder -
the equipment of
KATO vehicles
(mostly multiple unit express trains such as ICE-4 or Shinkansen) includes special
function decoders for the headlights and interior lighting.
Such are available from the
ZIMO MX decoder series

(CAD 2:1 vergrößert) STACO1 (Mitte)
, „KATO-Decoder“ MS560
und 3 mini Goldcaps in Serie geschaltet (Maßstab 1:1)
The StayAlive controller is connected to the terminals (solder pads or wires) "Common positive"
and "GROUND" of the decoder (two-pole!).
The STACO1 comes with 3 mini Goldcaps as the actual energy storage, which are connected
in series and represent a capacity of 100,000 µF. Of course, preferably all 3 should be con-
nected, but it also works with 2 (with about 50
% runtime) if there is a lack of space. The
STACO1 board contains a step-up voltage converter, which sucks the Goldcaps from their full
charge (8 V, if 3; 5.2 V, if 2) to their almost full discharge (2 V) and delivers a constant voltage
of 10 V. This is enough for driving and for an uninterrupted supply of the sound amplifier (which
runs on 5 V) without loss of volume.
Instead of a STACO1, a STACO3 can be used.
