LED-Control English 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. Electrical hazards ni k Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones. el ek ta m Never perform wiring on a powered module. Assembling and mounting the kit should only be done in closed, clean, dry rooms. Beware of humidity.
English LED-Control Fire risk ni Thermal danger 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. Never leave a hot soldering iron or station unattended.
LED-Control English 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 work with this kit or the ready-built module. ni k ! Caution: Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children. tro In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified personnel.
English LED-Control 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. k ni ta m tro el ek 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.
LED-Control English 4. Operation overview LED ControlBasic On the PCB are integrated a constant current source, a rectifier and connecting points for a bridging capacitor. tro ni k Constant current source: A transistor ensures, that during operation a constant current of approximately 20 mA is available. This allows LEDs to be connected directly without series resistors. They have a constant brightness after reaching the required minimum voltage, independent from the voltage supplied.
English LED-Control Connecting train rear lanterns k When using the LED Control Basic with the train rear lighting (ZSB-2) it is recommended to connect each LED (train rear lantern) via a PCB to the carriage´s back board. It is possible as well to connect several train rear lanterns or one train rear lantern and further LEDs in series to one LED ControlBasic. Driver´s cab lighting tro ni The driver´s cab lighting is designed like the LED Control Basic, but is equipped additionally with a SMD-LED.

English LED-Control 6. Connections Preliminary work wires for the connection to the power supply; if required: connecting wires for external LEDs; if required: additional bridging capacitor; if required: additional rectifier. ni k Before mounting the PCB into the vehicle you should carry out all required soldering: ta m s el ek Connection diagram tro ! While soldering avoid heating plastic parts of locomotives and carriages. Parts might go out of shape! Connection to (analogue) a.c.
LED-Control English Connection to (analogue) d.c. voltage ni Connection to a decoder output k When connecting the PCB to (analogue) d.c. voltage, you have to observe the connections´ polarity. The LEDs shine in one direction of travel only when connected to (analogue) d.c. voltage. If they have to work in both directions of travel, mount an additional bridge rectifier (e.g. item no. 83-19100-10, not included in delivery) according to the connection diagram.
English LED-Control Connecting LEDs You can connect one LED or several LEDs in series directly (without series resistor) to one LED Control Basic. The maximum number of LEDs you can connect to one PCB depends on the voltage supplied and the fluorescent colour of the LEDs. k Notice: It is not possible to connect external LEDs to a driver´s cab lighting. tro ni ! Caution: The legs of a LED should not be mounted crosswise to avoid short circuits! Maximum number of LEDs per PCB connected in series Max.
LED-Control English ni k Connect the LED(s) according to the connection diagramm to the connecting points X1 and X2. tro Connecting train rear lanterns: ! Caution: el ek The LEDs shaped like train rear lanterns have to be mounted according to the connection diagram! The longer lead is not in general the anode (+)! s Mounting the train rear lanterns ta m In order to fix a LED shaped like a train rear lantern safely, it is recommended to use a PCB of its own for each LED.
English LED-Control Note: The LED should be mounted with a small distance to the back of the carriage like in reality. Use a match as a spacer while mounting the LED. Info: Electrolytic capacitors k Electrolytic capacitors are often used to store energy. One of the two leads is marked with a minus sign which indicates the mounting orientation. The value is given on the casing. tro ni Electrolytic capacitors are available with different voltage sustaining capabilities and capacities.
LED-Control English 7. Check list for troubleshooting Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke. ! Disconnect the system from the mains immediately! ni The LED(s) does / do not light. Possible cause: The connection to the power supply is interrupted. à Check the connections. tro k Possible cause: The connections to the power supply are connected the wrong round. à Check the connection. In this case the PCB and the connected LEDs are probably damaged irreparably.
English LED-Control 8. Guarantee bond ni k For this product we issue voluntarily a guarantee of 2 years from the date of purchase by the first customer, but in maximum 3 years after the end of series production. The first customer is the consumer first purchasing the product from us, a dealer or another natural or juristic person reselling or mounting the product on the basis of selfemployment.
LED-Control English 9. Declaration of conformity This product conforms with the EC-directives mentioned below and is therefore CE certified. ni Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installed by an authorised electrician. Make no changes to the original parts and accurately follow the instructions, connection diagrams and PCB layout included with this manual. Use only original spare parts for repairs. tro k 2004/108/EG on electromagnetic.
