You can determine the number of the LEDs that can be connected in
series to one output from the following formula:
(number of LEDs + 2) x 1,5 < digital voltage
Fixing the locomotive decoder
After completing all connections fix the locomotive decoder with double-
sided adhesive tape, for example.
!
Caution:
The locomotive decoder can get warm during operation. For that
reason it should not be fixed with shrinking hose or hot adhesive.
! !
Caution:
When the total current consumption is more than 1,5 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. super glue ). Take care that the heat sink does not
contact the adjoining IC1. Risk of short circuit!
Using an NEM 652 interface connector
Some locomotives already have an NEM 652 interface connector
mounted. Using a convenient connecting plug you save disconnecting
the connections and you do not need to solder at the locomotive.
The list shows how to connect the contacts of the interface connector
to the connecting points of the locomotive decoder.
