Page 5: Safety Instructions
PZS-3 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 PZS-3 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
PZS-3 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 PZS-3 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. Cut the wires after soldering directly above the soldering joint with a side cutter.

Page 9: Operation Overview
PZS-3 English 4. Operation overview Traffic between two terminus stations The module controls the shuttle-train traffic between two terminus stations of an analogue a.c. model railway layout. At the second terminus station points can be connected. This allows the alternating traffic of two trains on the shuttle-train section. - Page 10 English PZS-3 Manual operation The halt at the terminus stations, the stops and the extra halts can be prolonged by connecting the corresponding input of the module to earth. Then the train stops at the next station, stop or halt as long as the input is connected to earth (at least so long as programmed for the particular halt).
- Page 11 (e.g. lighting). When connecting the module to a transformer in use as driving transformer, short circuits occur within the PZS-3 which may damage it irreparably. The seperate supply of module and rails has the advantage that the driving voltage can be set individually.
- Page 12 English PZS-3 Example for a shuttle-train traffic controlled by a PZS-3 In order to use the PZS-3 it is sufficient to connect the two terminus stations. All other extensions are optional. By connecting a second rail at terminus station 2 it is possible to run two trains alternatingly.

English PZS-3 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 15 PZS-3 English Ceramic capacitors Among other things ceramic capacitors are used for filtering interference voltages or as frequency determining parts. Ceramic capacitors are not polarized. Normally they are marked with a three-digit number which indicates the value coded. The number 104 corresponds to the value 100 nF.
- Page 16 English PZS-3 Light emitting diodes (LEDs) When operated in the forward direction the LEDs light. They are available in several different versions (differing in colour, size, form, luminosity, maximum current, voltage limits). Light emitting diodes should always be connected via a series resistor which limits the current and prevents failure.
- Page 17 PZS-3 English Integrated circuits (ICs) Depending on the type, ICs fulfil various tasks. The most common housing form is the so-called "DIL"-housing, from which 4, 6, 8, 14, 16, 18 or more "legs" (pins) are arranged along the long sides.
- Page 18 English PZS-3 Relays Relays are electronic switches, depending on their position the one or other (internal) connection is closed. The mode of operation of monostable relays can be compared to that of a push-button switch, i.e. the connection is only closed as long as the voltage is applicated.

Page 23: Functional Test
It is recommended to test the basic functioning of the module before installing it into the layout. Connect a bulb to the connections 9 and 13 of the PZS-3. Connect the two connections of the driving transformer to the module´s connections 3 and 11, the polarity is of no importance. -

They can disturb the operation massively. 8.3. Connecting the power supply You can use a d.c. or an a.c. transformer with 12 to 18 V as a power supply for the PZS-3. The polarity is of no importance if you connect the PZC-3 only. Caution: When connecting several devices to the same transformer, all connections have to be polarized the same way as a rule. - Page 26 English PZS-3 Caution: Do not use the driving transformer for supplying the PZS-3! When supplying the circuit via a transformer used as a driving transformer, too, short circuits can occur that possibly damage the circtui irreparably. Hint: Driving transformers with an additional output for further accessories beside the driving controller are not suitable for supplying both rails and PZS, as they internally consist of one trafo only.

Page 30: Operation
English PZS-3 In case you do not use stop-points you should connect an extra bistabile relais 12 V (or a relay circuit board RL-2) to the points. The bistable relais switches on the power supply for the one rail in terminus station 2 while switching off the power supply for the other rail. - Page 31 PZS-3 English If you want to integrate a second train into the shuttle-train service it has to be set onto the switched-off rail in terminus-station 2 with direction "terminus station 1" set. Immediately after switching on the power supply for the module, the shuttle-train traffic starts with a train starting from the terminus station 1 in direction of travel "way there".
- Page 32 English PZS-3 Caution: The points´position and the "track busy"-status of the two rails in terminus station 2 are not controlled by the module. In case the points´position is altered externally a coming-in train possibly runs into occupied rails.

Page 33: Programming The Pzs-3
PZS-3 English 10. Programming the PZS-3 Programming the length of the phases is done the same way for the five different stops (two terminus stations, two stops, all extra halts). Carry out the programming steps 1 to 3 for all stops you want to program. - Page 34 English PZS-3 Programming step 2: Setting the phases´length By adjusting the trimmer you set the length of the phases accelerating, halt and braking for the 5 stops. In state of delivery the phases are set to the shortest possible length. Test the module with these settings first.
- Page 35 PZS-3 English Programming step 3: Saving the settings After having set the phases´length for a stop at the trimmer, connect the programming input "save" (16) to earth (4) intermittently. N.B: Before closing the earth contact make sure the LED on the module flashes.
