Function Outputs - tams elektronik 30 plus Series Manual

English

4.3. Function outputs

The decoder has function outputs, which are available to connect
optional accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, sound module,
electric coupling). The accessories´ number and type to be connected
depends on the outputs´number and maximum current as well as on
the maximum total current of the special decoder (see section 5
"Technical specifications").
Effects of the function outputs
It is possible to set the following effects for the function outputs
(except AUX7) individually:

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
are switched off. Example of use: For some types of electric couplings
you need the full voltage for decoupling and the voltage then switched off
to protect the couplings.

Shunting light: You can program the outputs so that they are
switched on generally during shunting operation (to be switched with
F3 or F4). The dependence on the direction of travel will be nullified
for these outputs during shunting operation.

Special function for speed level 0: It is possible to program one
function to switch off other functions or switch on special function
outputs at speed level 0. Example of use: In some locomotive sheds
it is customary that the tail lamps of parked locomotives have to be
temporally set at the front and the back.

Dimming: 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.
