FD-M English How to use this manual This manual gives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct fitting of the 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 FD-M 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.

FD-M English 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.
English FD-M EMC declaration This product is developed and tested in accordance with the European standards EN 55014-1 and EN 61000-6-3 and meets the EC - directive 2004/108/EG and legal requirements. To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance in operation you must take the following precautions: §...
FD-M English Operation overview Digital Operation The decoder FD-M is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate with and automatically recognises both DCC or Motorola formats. The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used. Motorola-Format: 255 addresses DCC- Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses.

You can assign the function keys to the function outputs freely. It is possible to assign several function keys to one function output. SUSI interface A SUSI module can be connected to the FD-M and programmed via the decoder. It is not possible to read the SUSI module´s data via the decoder.
FD-M English Kick function: It is possible to set the amplified function outputs so that they get the full voltage first for up to 20 seconds and then are dimmed. Example of use: For some types of electric couplings you need the full voltage for decoupling and the voltage then reduced to protect the couplings.
English FD-M Checking the package contents Check the contents of the package for completeness immediately after unpacking: § one decoder, with or without soldered connecting wires, depending on the version. § one manual. Required tools and materials Make sure you have the following tools, equipment and materials ready for use: §...
FD-M English § Only use electronic tin solder with flux. § When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components and copper tracks. § Solder quickly: holding the iron on the joints longer than necessary can destroy components and can damage copper tracks or soldering eyes.

English FD-M Tip: It is not possible to send a confirmation signal to the central unit in DCC format when there is not sufficient current consumption. Therefore you should connect up at least one accessory with a minimum current consumption of 150 to 200 mA before starting to program the decoder.
Page 14
FD-M English Caution: If you connect the accessories to the return conductor for all functions (point X4), the accessories must be insulated. The accessories should not make contact with metal parts of the vehicle. Possible short circuit! The decoder will be damaged in operation.

English FD-M Connecting the LEDs The amplified function outputs of the decoder (AUX1 to AUX4) switch respective to the decoder ground. For that reason you must connect the cathode (-) of the LED to the function outputs. When using the unamplified output (X7) connect up the LED anode (+).
FD-M English Caution: When the total current consumption is more than 1,0 A you should cool the decoder. As a heat sink you could use a SMD heat sink with a base of 7 x 19 mm. Fix the heat sink on the diodes D1 to D4, using an appropriate glue ( e.g.
