1.1. Contents of the package 1 kit GBM-1 (item no. 52-01015-01), containing the components listed in the parts list ( section 3.4.) and one PCB or 1 ready-built and tested circuit board GBM-1 (item no. 52-01016-01) or 1 track occupancy indicator GBM-1 in housing (item no. -
Page 5: Intended Use
GBM-1 1.3. Intended use The track occupancy indicator is intended for use in model railway layouts as specified in the instructions. Any other use is not in accordance with the intended use and will result in the loss of the warranty claim. Intended use also includes reading, understanding and following all parts of the instructions. -
Page 6: Operation Overview
The four outputs of the GBM-1 can be loaded with 500 mA each, which enables the direct connection of many consumers. In principle, the GBM-1 can also be used in digital layouts with all digital formats, e.g. in combination with digital feedback devices (e.g. - Page 7 Note: In principle, digital feedback modules that switch to ground (e.g. s88 feedback modules) can also be connected to the outputs of the GBM-1. However, due to the high sensitivity of the GBM-1, interference voltages from the digital system can cause false alarms.

Page 9: Soldering Properly
GBM-1 3.2. Soldering properly Use a soldering iron with temperature control, which you set to approx. 300 °C. Only use electronic solder with a flux. Never use soldering water or soldering grease when soldering electronic circuits. These contain an acid that destroys components and conductor paths. -
Page 10: Preparation
GBM-1 tams elektronik 3.3. Preparation Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. The separate electronic components have the following special features you should take into account in assembling: Resistors Resistors reduce current. The value of resistors for smaller power ratings is indicated through colour rings. - Page 11 GBM-1 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: Connection Of The Track Sections
Caution: If you use a d.c. transformer for the power supply of the GBM-1, you generally have to respect the polarity when connecting it. If using an a.c. transformer the polarity is of no importance first. -
Page 18: Connecting Lamps Or Leds
With LEDs you have to observe the polarity, otherwise they do not light. Connect the cathodes (-) to the outputs of the GBM-1 (A1 bis A4) and the anodes (+) to the return conductor for the outputs (+). With standard LEDs the longer connecting pin is the anode (+). -
Page 19: Connecting Subordinate Circuits
Consumers with a current consumption of up to 500 mA can be connected directly to the outputs A1 to A4 of the GBM-1 and switched on and off depending on the occupancy status. The GBM-1 evaluates the income signals against earth. Thus you can connect the outputs of the GBM-1 to: ... - Page 20 GBM-1 tams elektronik Connection example For an automatic block section control you need one GBM- 1 track occupancy detector for up to 4 sections each one bistable relay or one relay board RL-2 (item numbers 72-00055 or 72-0056) for each...

Interference voltages from the digital system generate (false) occupancy signals. The GBM-1 is obviously not suitable for this application due to its high sensitivity. à Replace the GBM-1 with a less track occupancy detector optimised for use in digital systems (e.g. -
