Introduction/Safety instruction:

You have purchased the 4-fold turnout decoder 1-DEC-DC for

your model railway a kit or as finished module supplied within

the assortment of Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT).

We wish you having a good time using this product.

The 1-DEC-DC decoder (receiver device is marked with a

yellow dot) is suitable for the DCC-Format as used by the

systems of Lenz-Digital Plus, Arnold-, Märklin-Digital=,

Intellibox, TWIN-CENTER, Roco-Digital, EasyControl, ECoS,

KeyCom-DC, Digitrax, DiCoStation and Zimo.

The decoder 1-DEC-DC can control the turnouts either via

turnout-addresses or via loc-addresses. Therefore is it

possible to switch the turnouts for example by using the push

buttons F1 to F4 of the Lokmaus 2® or R3®.

The finished module comes with 24 month warranty.

• Please read the following instructions carefully. Warranty will

expire due to damages caused by disregarding the operating

instructions. LDT will also not be liable for any consequential

damages caused by improper use or installation.

Connecting the decoder to your digital

model railway layout:

• Attention: Before starting any installation switch off all

power supply to the digital layout by pushing the stop

button or disconnect all main supply to the transformers.

The decoder receives the digital information via the clamp

KL2. Connect the clamp with a rail or even better connect the

clamp directly to the command station or to a booster

assuring the supply of digital information free from any

interference.

Pay attention to the mark at clamp KL2. The color markings

'Black/Schwarz' and 'Red/Rot' next to the clamp are used for

Arnold-Digital (old) and Märklin-Digital= .

The Lenz Digital plus systems uses the letters 'J' and 'K'.

If you use the decoder with Intellibox you have to connect the

digital wires to 'red/rot' and 'brown/braun'.

The correct connection for LGB is schwarz/K/rot (black/K/red)

= LGB BLUE and rot/J/braun (red/J/brown) = LGB RED.

The decoder receives the power supply via the two poles

clamp KL1. Voltage in the range of 12…18V~ is acceptable

(alternate current output of a model railway transformer) or

15...24 V= (direct voltage from a switched mode mains power

supply).

If you do not want to supply power to the decoder 1-DEC-DC

from an external transformer you can connect the clamp

KL1 to KL2 with two wires. In this case the decoder will get the

power supply complete from the digital system.

Connecting turnout drives:

The Decoder 1-DEC-DC is suitable for digital switching of

single coil turnout drives. Those drives contain two

connection wires. This wires shall be directly connected with

one of the output clamps KL6 to KL9.

ROKUHAN turnout drives shall be supplied with a voltage of

10 to 12 Volt only. For reducing the voltage is it required to

apply two 9,1Volt Z-Diodes on each output. The connection

sample 1275 to be downloaded from our internet site from the

section “Sample Connection” will show the wiring.

Programming the decoder address:

To program the decoder address a turnout drive has to be

connected to the output 1 (clamp KL9) of the decoder.

• Switch on the power supply of your model rail way.

• Press the programming key S1. Do not touch the

integrated circuits of the pc-board because any electrostatic

discharge can destroy the IC`s.

• The turnout drive connected to output 1 will now move every

1,5 seconds. This indicates that the decoder is in the

programming mode.

Switching turnouts via turnout addresses:

• Press now one key of a key group to be assigned to the

decoder. For programming the decoder address you can

also release a turnout switch signal via a personal computer

over the model railway software.

Remarks: The decoder addresses for magnetic accessories are combined in groups of four. The addresses 1 to 4 build the first group. The addresses 5 to 8 build the second group etc. Each 1-DEC-DC decoder can be assigned to any of these groups. Which turnout of a group will be activated for the addressing does not matter. • If the decoder has recognized the assignment correctly the connected turnout will move a little faster. Afterwards the movement slows down to the initial 1,5 seconds again.
