KSM-3
1. Getting started
The instructions will help you step by step with the safe and proper assembly of the kit and
installation and use of your loop module. Before you start to assemble the kit or put the loop
module into operation, read this manual completely, especially the safety instructions and the
section on possible errors and their elimination. You will then know what you have to pay
attention to and thus avoid errors that sometimes can only be rectified with a lot of effort.
Keep the instructions in a safe place so that you can restore functionality later in the event of
any malfunctions. If you pass the loop module on to another person, also give the instructions
with it.
1.1. Contents of the package
1 kit KSM-3 (item no. 49-01135-01), containing the components listed in the parts list (see
section 3.4.) and one PCB or
1 ready-built and tested circuit board KSM-3 (item no. 49-01136-01) or
1 loop module KSM-3 in housing (item no. 49-01137-01)
1.2. Accessories
To assemble the kit you will need
a soldering iron with temperature control and a thin tip and a deposit stand or a controlled
soldering station
a scraper, rag or sponge
a heat-resistant pad
a small pair of side cutters and wire strippers
tweezers and flat-nose pliers if necessary
electronic solder (preferably 0.5 to 0.8 mm diameter)
Connection cables
The use of stranded wire is recommended for making the connections. Stranded wires consist
of several thin individual wires and are therefore more flexible than rigid wires with the same
copper cross-section. Recommended cross-sections:
Connection of the rails:
gauges Z and N: > 0.75 mm²
other gauges: > 1.5 mm²
Connection of the points: > 0.25 mm
Connection of motor-run points
The KSM-3 has a connection to which points with double coil drive can be directly connected.
To be able to connect motor-run points, you also need an adapter:
AMW-1 (item no. 72-00076) or
AMW plus (item no. 72-00176)
