Getting started This manual applies to all locomotive decoders of the 30s series, so for: § locomotive decoder LD-G-30, LD-G-31, LD-G-32, LD-G-33 and LD-G-34 and § locomotive decoder LD-W-32 and LD-W-33. Provided there are no other details given for particular sections, the information given applies to all decoders. How to use this manual This manual gives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct fitting of the decoder, and operation.
Locomotive decoders 30s series ! English Caution: Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They are sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first discharging yourself. Touching a radiator or other grounded metal part will discharge you. Checking the package contents Check the contents of the package for completeness after unpacking: § one decoder, with or without soldered connecting wires resp.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series 2. Safety instructions Mechanical hazards Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB. Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English Fire risk Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire, which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable materials. Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot soldering iron or station unattended.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series 3. Safe and correct soldering Caution: Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the chapter Safety instructions. § Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tip § § § § § § § clean so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder point effectively. Only use electronic tin solder with flux.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English 4. Operation overview Driving in digital operation The locomotive decoders of the 30´s series are multiple protocol decoders, that can operate with and automatically recognise both DCC or Motorola formats. The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used. Motorola-Format: 255 addresses. DCC- Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses. In the DCC format the decoders can be driven in all speed levels (14, 28 or 128).
English Locomotive decoders 30s series with the modern supply voltage of 230 V too high excess voltage impulses can occur, damaging electronic parts on the decoder. For that reason only use driving transformers designed for a net voltage of 230 V. Switching the function outputs on or off is not possible in analogue mode. They can be programmed so that they are either switched on or off in analogue mode. The effects set for the outputs are active in analogue mode as well.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English Driving of the motor The differernt decoder types are designed to optimally control their particular fitting motor types.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series KI: The integral component of the load control ensures the remaining difference between the set and the present value is reduced to 0 and so for the correction of very small divergences. If the set value is too high the locomotive vibrates massively while moving. KD: The differential component of the load control ensures that the control is not converted too quickly. Is the set value to low then the locomotive vibrates.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English LD-G-33, LD-G-34 and LD-W-33: Slider commutation The decoders LD-G-33, LD-G-34 and LD-W-33 have a function output to be programmed so that it switches a relay for slider commutation. Due to the principle of the slider commutation it does not work in sections switched currentless (braking sections). Function outputs The decoders have two, four or six function outputs depending on the type, which are available to connect optional accessories (e.g.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series Effects of the function outputs It is possible to set the following effects for all function outputs individually: Dimming: The voltage applied to an output can be reduced by programming the decoder accordingly. 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. In addition, it is possible to dim the voltage depending on the speed level.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English Feedback with RailCom RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of the address and the CV values from the decoder to the digital control unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be designed to send the RailCom messages.

Locomotive decoders 30s series English 6. Mounting the locomotive decoder ! Caution: Before mounting the decoder check if the maximum locomotive motor´s current on-load is below the maximum permissible value. If it is above the decoder is not suitable for mounting in this locomotive. It would be damaged when put into operation or with decoders with overload protection (LD-G-30, LD-G-33 and LD-G-34) switched off. LD-G-decoders: Using decoders with interface connectors Many recent locomotives with d.c.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series suppression devices are one unit. If even one part is removed, it can cause extreme interference! Connecting the decoder Follow the connection diagram for the particular decoder. Decoder for DC motors (LD-G-decoder): Connect the decoder to the rail current collectors and to the motor. Decoder for AC motors (LD-W-decoder): Connect the decoder to the connections from the slider and the housing. These two connections can be exchanged without effecting functionality.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English If the lamp or the accessory is already connected with one side to vehicle ground, the connection is complete. If not, connect the second side of the lamp or the accessory to the return conductor of the decoder (point RL). ! Caution: If you connect the accessories to the return conductor for all functions (point RL), the accessories must be insulated. The accessories should not make contact with metal parts of the vehicle.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series Connecting the LEDs The function outputs of the decoder switch respective to the decoder ground. For that reason you must connect the cathode (-) of the LED to the function outputs. ! Caution: If you use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) you must always operate them via a series resistor. LEDs are available in many different models. The series resistor limits the current flow of the LED and will need to be calculated for each model. Ask for the max.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English Connecting a smoothing capacitor In track sections with bad contacts the power supply may be interrupted shortly. With those locomotive decoders with enough space on the PCB (LD-G-32, LD-G-33, LD-G-34, LD-W-32, LD-W-33) you can solder an additional capacitor to counteract this effect (see connection diagram of the particular decoder). Fixing the locomotive decoder After completing all connections fix the locomotive decoder with doublesided adhesive tape, for example.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series 7. Programming the locomotive decoder In DCC format it is possible to program register or configuration variables (CVs), main track programming can be used as well. In Motorola format the settings are saved in registers. Programming with DCC central units You can programm the configuration variables (CV) of the decoder from the digital central unit.
Locomotive decoders 30s series English current address). Manufacturers setting is "3". Set all functions (function, f1 to f4) to "off". Push the "stop" button at the central unit. Next, operate the direction switch and hold it in that position while briefly pushing the "go" button. As soon as the lamps connected to the outputs AUX1 or AUX2 flash (after approx. 2 seconds) the decoder is in the programming mode and you can release the direction switch.
English Locomotive decoders 30s series After having started the programming mode (and when the locomotive´s lighting flashes) you can program the decoder´s registers as follows: 1. Choose the register you want to programm by setting the register´s number like a Motorola locomotive address at your central unit. Please note that with some central units a leading "0" has to be entered. 2. Operate the direction switch. The lighting flashes faster. 3.
