For tantalum capacitors please attend to the connection wire marked "+". This wire has to correspond to the printed mark on the pc-board. The resistor-networks are marked at one end for the assembly position with “...103...” and additionally with a printed circle or a square. Assemble this component that way that the marking corresponds with the marking at the first bore of the pcboard. Additionally is the first bore marked with “1”.
Introduction: You have purchased the Basic-Module for the layout light control Light-DECBasis as a kit for your model railway supplied within the assortment of Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT). These kits are of high quality and easy to assemble.
Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) Assembly Instruction Light-DEC-Service Module for Light-DEC from the Digital-Professional-Series ! >> kit << The Light-DEC-Service Module can only be used together with the Light-DEC-Basic Module. The unit has to be connected and screwed to the 20-poles socket bar of the basic module as described within the assembly instruction of the Light-DEC-Basic Module. Set-Up: For the board-assembly please follow exact the sequence of the below assembly list.
Soldering instruction Provided you have no special experience in soldering electronic components please read first this soldering instruction before starting the job. Soldering has to be trained! • Never use additional fluxes for soldering electronic circuits which contain acids (e.g. zinc chloride or ammonium chloride). Those can destroy components and printed circuits when not washed off completely. • As soldering material only lead free soldering tin with a rosin core for fluxing should be used.
