English FD-R Basic.3 1. Getting started How to use this manual ni k This manual will help you step by step to mount and commission the decoder safely and correctly. Before you connect the decoder and put it into operation, please read this manual completely, particularly the chapter on safety instructions and the checklist for trouble shooting. You will then know where to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot of effort to correct.
FD-R Basic.3 English Checking the package contents Please make sure that your package contains: one or five function decoders, depending on the version with or without soldered connecting wires.
English FD-R Basic.3 2. Safety instructions ! Caution: Mechanical hazards ni k 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. tro 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.
FD-R Basic.3 English Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the ready-built module. Fire risk Thermal danger ni k 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.
English FD-R Basic.3 Other dangers Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they are inattentive and not responsible enough. Children under the age of 14 should not be allowed to mount vehicle decoders. ! Caution: ni k Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.
FD-R Basic.3 English 3. Safe and correct soldering ! Caution: ni ta m tro el ek Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to approx. 300 °C. Only use electronic solder with a flux. Never use soldering fluid or soldering grease when soldering electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components and conductor paths. Solder quickly: Soldering for too long can detach solder pads or tracks or even destroy components.
English FD-R Basic.3 4. Operation overview 4.1. Digital operation k The function decoder is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate with and automatically recognise both DCC or Motorola formats. Motorola (MM) 127 basic addresses or 10.239 extended addresses Speed level modes 14, 28 or 128 Programming configuration variables (direct programming, DCC conform) 255 tro Number of addresses ni DCC 14 el ek registers s or POM (programming on main = main track programming) ta m 4.2.
FD-R Basic.3 English if the decoder suddenly switches to analogue mode in digital operation (e.g. as a result of interference voltages whose cause is difficult to localise); if a value for the Packet Time Out is programmed to perform a forced stop in case of track voltage failure or shutdown. Switching the function outputs tro ni k Switching the function outputs on or off is not possible in analogue mode.
English FD-R Basic.3 This mode of function mapping allows to implement special features, e.g.: k Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel. Shunting light: When switching to shunting mode the signals for shunting locomotive are switched on and those for standard operation switched off. Switching off the locomotive´s taillights when connecting wagons.
FD-R Basic.3 English CV programming By assigning the flashing function to 2 outputs and the "inverted switching" function to one of the two outputs, an alternating flashing is generated. (CV 58-60, CV 101-104) The flashing frequency is set separately for each output. Kick function CV programming ni Flashing k Programming the effects (CV 58-60, CV 99) tro The outputs first receive full voltage for a maximum of approx. 25.5 seconds and are then switched off.
English FD-R Basic.3 4.4. Triggering the actions The function outputs are switched on and off and the shunting mode is (de)activated: through the assigned function(s) and / or automatically via the switching input. The switching input is triggered via external contacts, e.g. via reed contact or Hall sensors in combination with permanent magnets in the track.
FD-R Basic.3 English each DCC command directed to any vehicle decoder. Channel 1 can be set "dynamically", i.e. the decoder will only transmit its address in channel 1 until a DCC command is directed to it. This frees the channel for the messages of other decoders to which no command has yet been sent or which are not yet known to the system. ni k In channel 2, vehicle decoders send their feedback as soon as a DCC command is sent to their address.

FD-R Basic.3 English 6. Connections ! Avoid irreparable damage! Observe the following instructions to avoid damage to the decoder: 1. No conductive connections to metal parts or rails! tro ni k Avoid all conductive connections between the decoder or consumers connected to the return conductor for all functions on the one hand, and metal parts of the vehicle or the rails on the other hand. Connections are caused e.g.
English FD-R Basic.3 6.1. Connector pin assignment FD-R Basic.
FD-R Basic.3 English 6.2. Connecting accessories to the outputs ! Caution: k The maximum current of the accessory must not exceed the maximum current of the output to which you connect it. The output may otherwise be irreparably damaged! tro ni Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps, otherwise the lamps might not light. Connect the lamps and the accessories to the function outputs of the decoder.
English FD-R Basic.3 6.3. Connecting LEDs to the function outputs ! k The decoder´s function outputs switch respective to the decoder ground. For that reason you must connect the cathodes (-) of the LEDs to the function outputs and the anodes (+) to the decoder´s common return conductor for all function outputs (RC). Caution: tro ni You must always operate LEDs via a series resistor! Otherwise LEDs will be destroyed when put into operation or have a significantly reduced duration of life.
FD-R Basic.3 English In order to determine the necessary series resistor for a serial LED´s connection first add the forward voltages of all LEDs. The forward voltages depend on the lighting colour and should be given in the technical specifications. In case there is no manufacturer information available, you can take as a basis 4 V for white and blue LEDs and 2 V for yellow, orange, red and green LEDs. k The remaining voltage has to be "eliminated" by a resistor.
English FD-R Basic.3 6.4. Connecting inductive loads When connecting inductive loads (e.g. TELEX couplings, relays or other accessories with coils), you should switch a free-wheeling diode (e.g. 1N400x) in parallel, in order to avoid damage at the output. Check to connect the anode of the diode to the function output.
FD-R Basic.3 English 6.5. Connecting the switching input ni Connection of a reed contact k The switching input switches against decoder ground and can therefore be connected to all (external) circuits that can be used to establish a ground connection. It is possible, for example, to connect reed contacts or Hall sensors which establish the ground connection as soon as they enter the magnetic field of a permanent magnet.
English FD-R Basic.3 Connection of a Hall sensor Pay attention to the correct polarity when connecting Hall sensors. Assignment of the connections: Decoder Ground terminal () Ground terminal (GND) Supply voltage terminal (+) Voltage output (RC) Output Switching input (IN) ! Mixing up the connections "ground terminal" and "supply voltage terminal" may damage the Hall sensor. s el ek tro ni k Hall sensor ta m Fig.
FD-R Basic.3 English 6.6. Connecting a buffer capacitor/buffer circuit tro Connection of a backup capacitor ni k In sections with bad contact to the rails (e.g. when running over turnouts) or with a (e.g. construction-related) bad current consumption of the vehicle, the power supply of the decoder can be interrupted briefly. In analogue mode the effects are usually small, but in digital mode massive disturbances can be the result: e.g.
English FD-R Basic.3 6.7. Fixing the decoder ta m s el ek tro ni k After having finished all connections you should fix the decoder, to avoid short circuits by contact to metal parts of the vehicle, for example. You can use double sided adhesive tape for it or a decoder holder (item number70-01810 or 70-01820), for example.
FD-R Basic.3 English 7. Programming Programming with DCC central units ni k You can program the configuration variables (CV) of the decoder from the digital central unit, you can use main track programming as well. See the chapter in the manual of your central unit where the byte wise programming of configuration variables (CVs) (Direct programming) and main track programming (POM) are explained. tro Register programming is not supported by the decoder.
English FD-R Basic.3 Put the vehicle on a track oval or a track section connected to the central unit’s track output (not to the connection for the programming track). Make sure no other vehicle than the one you intend to program is set on the track as the decoder inside this vehicle might be programmed as well. 2. Set the current decoder address (default value: 3) or the address "80". k If necessary: with a leading "0". 2. Operate the direction switch. → Lighting flashes faster. 3.
FD-R Basic.3 English 8. Configuration variables and registers The following lists shows all configuration variables (for the DCC format) and registers (for the Motorola format), that can be set for the function decoder. ni k Registers and configuration variables (CVs) have identical numbers, they are shown in the tables in the column "No.". The defaults are those values set in the state of delivery and after a reset.
