Page 3: Getting Started
Intended use The relay circuit board RL-2 is designed to be operated according to the instructions in this manual in model building, especially with model railways. Any other use is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees. - Page 4 English RL-2 Required materials For assembling the kit you need: an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) or a regulated soldering iron with a fine tip and a soldering iron stand, a tip-cleaning sponge, a heat-resistant mat, ...

Page 5: Safety Instructions
RL-2 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. Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones. - Page 6 English RL-2 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.

Page 7: Safe And Correct Soldering
RL-2 English 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 or a regulated soldering iron. - Page 8 English RL-2 Cut the wires after soldering directly above the soldering joint with a side cutter. After placing the parts, please double check for correct polarity. Check the PCB tracks for solder bridges and short circuits created by accident.

Page 9: Operation Overview
RL-2 English 4. Operation overview The module switches a bistable relay with two switches which are separate from each other. It is triggered by 12 to 18 Volt direct (d.c.) or alternating (a.c.) voltage. The relay is switched by an earth contact and can be switched by any earth compatible output (e.g. -
Page 10: Assembling The Kit
English RL-2 6. Assembling the kit You can skip this part if you have purchased a ready-built module. Preparation Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. The separate electronic components have the following special features you should take into account in assembling: Resistors Resistors reduce current. - Page 11 RL-2 English Bistable relays keep their status after switching – comparable to a switch. Relays which combine two switches in one housing are common as well (shortly 2xUM). The switching between the two connections can be heard clearly because of the resulting clicking sound.
- Page 12 English RL-2 Assembly Proceed according to the order given in the list below. First solder the components on the solder side of the PCB and then cut the excess wires with the side cutter. Follow the instructions on soldering in section 3.

Page 14: Connecting The Relay Circuit Board
English RL-2 8. Connecting the relay circuit board Connecting the power supply If you use a d.c. transformer for the power supply of the relay circuit board, you have to regard the polarity when connecting it, if using an a.c. transformer the polarity is of no importance. If you supply several components by one a.c. - Page 15 RL-2 English Fig. 2: Connections It shows as an example, the connection of the relay circuit board to a double purpose light signal. Page 15...
