Manual WD10
The switch decoder WD10 is used to switch points (twin solenoid), signals,
uncouplers, light signals (two or more lights), lighting and other consumers. The
WD10 is a multi-protocol decoder and can be used with controllers that support
the Märklin-Motorola-format (e.g. 6021), and DCC controllers (e.g. Lenz, Multi-
maus)
Technical data and features:
• in DCC-format 2044 addresses
• in Motorola-format 320 addresses
• in total 16 transistor outputs (e.g. for 8 points or block signals)
• RailCom® (bidirectional communication, only in use with DCC
• Power from the digital controller or external AC or DC power unit
• simple choice of address and operation mode by internal programming button
• programmable on the program track of the DCC controller
• programmable in built-in state through programming on the main
• selectable light (shadowing) effects for light signals
• minimal power
• maximum power (AC)
• maximum power (pure DC)
• maximum current per switch output
• maximum current per output group (group A or B)
• maximum total current
• working temperature
• measurements (in mm, without assembly points)
Important note: The decoder is only provided for use in model railway layouts in
dry rooms. The use of the decoder is only permitted under supervision. The extra
power supply has to be a model railway transformer, that will switch of by a short
circuit to prevent fire. The connection of the decoder is only allowed in powerless
mode.

    2.4. Operation The switch decoder WD10 supports two setting procedures by the user. On the one hand, the decoder address and the mode (e.g. points, light signals, lighting) can be set for each output group by the programming button.

  • Page 4: Installation Of The Decoder

    By many consumers that need a lot of energy an external power supply for the switch decoder is recommended. This prevents the use of „expensive” digital current. Use only suitable power supplies (e.g. model railway transformers). The decoder will receive the switch commands of the digital controller through the kuehn...

    . Hint: Connecting the GND-connections on the power is not allowed and can cause damage of the WD10! 3.4. Connection of consumers You can connect different consumers to the switch decoder. Both the output groups A and B behave identically.

    4.2. Operation modes of the switch decoder The switch decoder WD10 can for the most used applications very easily be set by the selection of operation modes. If you want to make additional adjustments for your desired performance, set the user-mode (mode 1).

  • Page 8 A the LED of group A and the LED of group B will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds. 4. On the WD10 the LED of group B illuminates and the decoder is waiting for the input of the decoder address. Select on your digital controller the point number, which you want to operate with the first output of group B of the WD10.

  • Page 9: Set Up By Dcc-Programming

    4.4. Set up by DCC-programming The kuehn – decoder WD10 can be adjusted to the desired performance by programming the so called configuration variables (CV’s). Follow the instructions in the manual of your digital controller during DCC programming. Programming on the program track can be performed by Physical Register Addressing, Paged CV Addressing or Direct Mode Addressing.

  • Page 13 Manual WD10 • CV#35, CV#36 Decoder address group B: the decoder address of group B is stored in two parts. The decoder address is valid for 4 consecutive point addresses. If the decoder should switch with group 1 the points 1, 2, 3 and 4 enter as decoder address a 1 in CV#35 for the point address 5, 6, 7 and 8 a 2 has to be entered in CV#35 etc..
  • Page 14 CV#144 to 159. Example: The first point of group A is switched by two pushbuttons and the outputs 1 and 2 of the WD10 are used. Through the numerical values 1+2=3 in the CV’s 160 and 161 the corresponding assignment of the control command on the used outputs will be carried out.

    128 64 5. Troubleshooting Reset: The switch decoder WD10 can be put to the factory settings through the programming button on the decoder or through DCC programming with the digital controller. (default values). • Reset with the programming button: press the programming button with power switched on until the LED of group A and the LED of group B will light up permanently and simultaneously.

  • Page 16: Application Notes

    Connecting LED If you use LED equipped light signals, a series resistor is required for operation with the WD10 to limit the current. Operation without a series resistor will damage the LED! Check your signal if this series resistor is already installed.
