Caution:
!
Old analogue driving transformers (e.g. models in a blue housing
from Maerklin**) are not suitable for use with digital decoders in analogue
operation! These transformers have been designed for the older supply
voltage of 220 V and, due to construction, generate very high excess
voltage impulses when changing the driving direction. When using them
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.
Outputs to be switched with F0 are switched on or off in analogue
mode according to the direction of travel with layouts run with a D.C.
speed control (not with an A.C. speed control), provided the return
conductor of the lamps or accessories is connected to the decoder´s return
conductor for all functions.
4.2. Function outputs
The decoder has six function outputs with a maximum current of
500 mA each, which are available to connect optional accessories (e.g.
lighting, smoke generator, electric coupling). The decoder´s maximum
total current is 1.500 mA.
Effects of all function outputs (AUX1 to AUX6)
Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel.
Flashing and double flashing. Both the frequency and the keying
ratio can be set. E.g. single and double flash lights or strobe lights.
Kick function: It is possible to set the amplified function outputs so
that they get the full voltage first for up to 12,5 seconds and then
