  • Page 3: Getting Started

    Intended use The SV-2 is designed to be operated according to the instructions in this manual with model railways. Any other use is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.
  • Page 4 English SV-2 Required materials For assembling the kit you need:  an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) or a or a regulated soldering iron with a fine tip and a soldering iron stand,  a tip-cleaning sponge,  a heat-resistant mat, ...

    SV-2 English 2. 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.
  • Page 6 English SV-2 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.
  • Page 7: Safe And Correct Soldering

    SV-2 English In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified personnel. In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to electronic work must be adhered to. 3. Safe and correct soldering Caution: Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the chapter Safety instructions.
  • Page 8 English SV-2  Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after soldering.  To make a good soldering joint you must use a clean and unoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp piece of cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth.
  • Page 9: Operation Overview

    SV-2 English 4. Operation overview The switching amplifier provides the energy to switch points with double solenoids. Applications:  Switching stiff points. It is possible to switch stiff points independent of the power of the transformer.  Simultaneously switching several points. Each of them has to be connected to a switching amplifier of its own and then all points can be switched simultaneously via one impulse.

    English SV-2 6. Assembling the kit You can skip this part if you have purchased a ready-built module or device. Preparation Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. The separate electronic components have the following special features...
  • Page 11 SV-2 English Electrolytic capacitors Electrolytic capacitors are often used to store energy. In contrast to ceramic capacitors they are polarized. One of the two leads is marked with a minus sign which indicates the mounting orientation. The value is given on the casing.

  • Page 13 SV-2 English Caution: Several components have to be mounted according to their polarity. When soldering these components the wrong way round, they can be damaged when you connect the power. In the worst case the whole circuit can be damaged. At the best, a wrongly connected part will not function.
  • Page 14: Connecting The Sv-2

    English SV-2 7. Connecting the SV-2 Do not mount the switching amplifier in your model railroad layout yet. Perform a functional test with the test points. It is recommended to perform the functional test even if you have purchased a ready-built module.
  • Page 15 SV-2 English Connections 1 Testing the switching amplifier Connect temporally the sockets "GND" and "S1" with one another. The points should switch now. If the points do not switch they are possibly in the corresponding position. Switch the points by hand in the other position and try to switch the points again.
  • Page 16 English SV-2 Simultaneous switching of several points You can switch several points simultaneously if each is connected to its’ own switching amplifier. Switch the switching amplifiers´ inputs commonly via a push button, control panel, circuit track or similar. Connections 2...
  • Page 17: Check List For Troubleshooting

    SV-2 English 8. Check list for troubleshooting  Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke. Disconnect the system from the mains immediately! Possible cause: one or more components are soldered incorrectly. à In case you have mounted the module from a kit, perform a visual check (à...
