English LD-G-9 Shunting gear In the speed modes 14 and 28, it is possible to switch into the shunting gear mode via a function key, when so programmed. In the shunting gear mode, the velocity of all speed levels is reduced to approx. 50 % compared to the set velocity.
LD-G-9 English § Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel. § Flashing with a frequency of 2 Hz with two phases which are out- of-phase by 180 degrees. Example of use: individual flash lights or alternating flash lights.
English LD-G-9 Required tools and materials Make sure you have the following tools, equipment and materials ready for use: § an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) with a fine tip, § a soldering iron stand, § a tip-cleaning sponge, §...
LD-G-9 English solder (not too much). As soon as the solder becomes liquid take it away. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a few seconds so that the solder flows into the joint, then remove the soldering iron.

Tip: Before starting to program the locomotive decoder you should connect the motor to the decoder.
English LD-G-9 Using a 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 below shows how to connect the contacts of the interface connector to the connecting points of the locomotive decoder.
