Intended use The locomotive decoder is designed for mounting in a model train with DC motor (LD-G-33) resp. AC motor (LD-W-33). It evaluates the Motorola or DCC format data sent by the digital central unit to its address and controls the locomotive´s motor and additional functions.

English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 § connecting the circuit to another voltage than specified, § impermissibly high humidity, § condensation build up can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the following precautions to prevent this danger: § Never perform wiring on a powered decoder.
LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 English Dangerous environments A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room with enough freedom of movement. Other dangers Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they are inattentive and not responsible enough.
English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 § Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the wire and the soldering eye are heated at the same time. Simultaneously add solder (not too much). As soon as the solder becomes liquid take it away.

The automatic recognition of the analogue mode can be switched off. The load control of the LD-G-33 is is also active in analogue mode. The set maximum speeds also limits in analogue mode the maximum speed of the locomotive.

LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 Load control (only with the LD-G-33) The locomotive decoder LD-G-33 for DC motors has a load control, the decoder LD-W-33 for AC motors does not have this function. The load control influences the motor voltage to keep the locomotive at constant velocity, independent of additional loads (e.g.

Emergency stop At a change of direction an emergeny stop is carried out automatically. Slider commutation The LD-G-33 or the LD-W-33 has a function output to be programmed so that it switches a relay for slider commutation. Function outputs The decoder has six function outputs with a maximum current of 500 mA each, which are available to connect optional accessories (e.g.

English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 SUSI interface A SUSI module can be connected to the LD-G-33 or the LD-W-33 and programmed via the decoder. It is not possible to read the SUSI module´s data via the decoder. The locomotive decoder transmits the function status and the speed level set at the central unit, to the SUSI module.
(so-called detectors). The decoders must be designed to send the RailCom messages. The LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 sends (continuously) the (basic, extended or consist) address to the detectors (so-called RailCom broadcast datagramm) and transfers a CV message after a DCC CV read-out command.
English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 6. Mounting the locomotive decoder Before mounting the decoder check if the maximum locomotive motor´s current on-load is below the maximum permissible value of 1.000 mA. If it is above 1.000 mA the decoder is not suitable for mounting in this locomotive.

LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 English Next solder the connections of the field coil to the points X3 and X4 and the connection of the motor sheild to the point RL. Should the locomotive´s direction of motion in analogue mode not match the direction of motion set at the speed control you have to swap the connections to the points X3 and X4.

English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 Tip: Before starting to program the locomotive decoder you should connect the motor to the decoder. Otherwise there is no confirmation signal from the (DCC-) central unit. Should you intend to program the decoder with a Motorola central unit you should always connect the lighting to the outputs AUX1 and AUX2.

LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 English You can connect several LEDs in parallel to each output. In this case every LED must have a series resistor of its own. If you connect several LEDs to one output in series, only one series resistor is needed.
English LD-G-33 / LD-W-33 7. Programming the locomotive decoder In DCC format it is possible to program register or configuration variables (CVs), main track programming can be used as well. In Motorola format the settings are saved in registers. Programming with DCC central units You can programm the configuration variables (CV) of the decoder from the digital central unit.

LD-G-33 and the LD-W-33 The following list shows all configuration variables (for the DCC format) and registers (for the Motorola format), that can be set for the LD-G-33 and the LD-W-33. In the list you will find in the column "CV-no." the numbers of the configuration values for programming in DCC format and in the column "Reg.-no."...
