To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance you must take the following precautions: §...
  • Page 8 English LD-G-2 Function speed level and direction of motion Based on 14 speed levels sent by the central unit the decoder can provide up to 27 speed levels. When changing the direction the existing direction is saved and so retained, even if the central unit does not send absolute driving data (e.g.
  • Page 9 LD-G-2 English changes internally the directions of motion „forwards“ and „backwards“. After the negative direct voltage on the track has been compensated the locomotive automatically starts with the set acceleration delay in the opposite direction. During standard operation it is possible to drive the decoder as usual even if the automatic shuttle service is active.
  • Page 10 English LD-G-2 Kick function: It is possible to set the function outputs so that they get the full voltage first for up to seven 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.

  • Page 13: Mounting The Locomotive Decoder

    LD-G-2 English Mounting the locomotive decoder Open the locomotive housing. Locate the position for the decoder. Disconnect the motor from the rail current collector respectively the change-over switch from the motor and rail current collector if you have a locomotive with electronic change-over switch.
  • Page 14 English LD-G-2 In case you want to operate the decoder in analogue mode and want to switch the lighting depending on the direction of travel, you have to connect the front and back lighting to the points X4 and X3 respectively.
  • Page 15 LD-G-2 English Connecting the LEDs The function outputs of the locomotive decoder switch against decoder ground. For that reason you must connect the cathode (-) of the LED to the output of the relevant function. Caution: If you use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) you must always operate them via a series resistor.

  • Page 29: Operation

    LD-G-2 English Operation Speed level regulation Based on the 14 speed levels sent by the central unit the decoder can provide up to 27 speed levels. The 13 additional speed levels are "half" speed levels between the speed levels set at the central unit. They are selected if you switch to a higher speed level followed by a lower grade, or if you reduce the speed level and then switch to a higher grade.
