WD-1 English How to use this manual If you have no specialist technical training, this manual gives step-by- step instructions for safe and correct assembly of the kit and fitting of the ready-built module, and operation. Before you start, we advise you to read the whole manual, particularly the chapter on safety instructions and the FAQ chapter.

English WD-1 Electrical hazards § Touching powered, live components, § touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction, § short circuits, § connecting the circuit to another voltage than specified, § impermissibly high humidity, § condensation build up can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the following precautions to prevent this danger: §...
WD-1 English Thermal danger A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can cause skin burns. As a precaution: § use a heat-resistant mat during soldering, § always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand, §...
English WD-1 § 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, circuit diagram and PCB layut included with this manual. §...
WD-1 English Checking the package contents Check the contents of the package for completeness after unpacking: § one kit, containing the components listed in the parts list (see page I) and one PCB or one ready-built module, § one manaul.
English WD-1 § Solder quickly: holding the iron on the joints longer than necessary can destroy components and can damage copper tracks or soldering eyes. § Observe correct polarity orientation of semi-conductors, LEDs electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits before soldering and ensure that the solder time does not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise components can be damaged.

WD-1 English Resistors Resistors reduce current. Their mounting orientation is of no importance. The value of resistors for smaller power ratings (under 5 W) is indicated through colour rings. Every colour stands for another figure. The colour ring in brackets indicates the tolerance of the resistor which here is of no importance.

English WD-1 voltage sustaining capability higher than required is always possible. Diodes Diodes allow the current to pass through in one direction only (forward direction), simultaneously the voltage is reduced by 0,3 to 0,8 V. Exceeding of the limit voltage always will destroy the diode, and allow current to flow in the reverse direction.

WD-1 English Integrated circuits (ICs) Depending on the type, ICs fulfil various tasks. They are polarized and therefore have to be mounted in a certain direction. The most common housing form is the so-called "DIL"-housing, from which 4, 6, 8, 14, 16, 18 or more "legs"...
English WD-1 Caution: Diodes, ICs, electrolytic capacitors and transistors must be placed in the right direction! If you solder them the wrong way the affected parts can be damaged when you connect the power. In the worst case the whole circuit can be damaged.
WD-1 English Connecting the points decoder Caution: Switch off the central unit before connecting the points decoder! There are terminal strips soldered to the in- and outputs. Insert the connecting cables into the relevant terminals and fasten the screws. The connections diagram (figure 3) shows the correct assembly.
English WD-1 § The points decoder does not work. Possible cause: The connection of the decoder to the points or to the central unit is interrupted. à Check the connections. Possible cause: The wires from the central unit to the points decoder are incorrectly connected.
