Mounting The Locomotive Decoder - tams elektronik LD-G-24 Manual

English
§
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. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a few seconds so that the
solder flows into the joint, then remove the soldering iron.
§
The joint should be held still for about 5 seconds after soldering.
§
To make a good soldering joint you should 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.
§
After soldering check (preferably with a magnifying glass) tracks for
accidental solder bridges and short circuits. This would cause faulty
operation or, in the worst case, permanent damage. You can
remove excess solder by putting a clean soldering tip on the spot.
The solder will become liquid again and flow from the soldering
spot to the soldering tip.

Mounting the locomotive decoder

Before mounting the decoder check if the locomotive motor´s current is
below the maximum permissible value of 3.000 mA. If it is above 3.000
mA the decoder is not suitable for mounting in this locomotive. It would
be damaged when put into operation.
Follow the connection diagrams fig. 1, 2 and 3.
Connecting the motor
Open the locomotive housing. Locate the position for the decoder.
Disconnect the motor from the rail current collector.
!
Caution:
The interference suppression devices mounted to the motor or the
connecting wire must not be removed! Motor and interference
suppression devices are one unit. If even one part is removed, it can
cause extreme interference!
