Page 10: Operation Overview
English Locomotive decoders 30s series 4. Operation overview 4.1. Modes of operation Digital operation The locomotive decoder is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate with and automatically recognise both DCC or Motorola formats. The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used: ... - Page 11 Locomotive decoders 30s series English Analogue mode The locomotive decoder can also be used in analogue model railway layouts run with a D.C. speed control, and with restrictions with an A.C. speed control. When putting the vehicle on the rails the decoder recognizes automatically if it is run in analogue or digital mode and sets the corresponding operation mode.

Page 14: Function Outputs
English Locomotive decoders 30s series Emergency stop It is possible to carry out an emergeny stop at a change of direction automatically, when so programmed. 4.3. Function outputs The decoder has function outputs, which are available to connect optional accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, sound module, electric coupling). -
Page 15: Releasing The Functions
Locomotive decoders 30s series English 4.4. Releasing the functions The function outputs can be released by pushing the function keys. The mapping of the outputs to the function keys and the switching inputs is arbritary. It is possible to assign several function keys and switching inputs to one output. -
Page 16: Feedback With Railcom
(so-called detectors). The decoders must be designed to send the RailCom messages. When so programmed, the locomotive decoders of the 30s series send (continuously) the (basic, extended or consist) address to the detectors (so- called RailCom broadcast datagramm) and transfer a CV message after a DCC CV read-out command. -
Page 17: Overload Protection (Ld-G-30 Only)
Locomotive decoders 30s series English 4.7. Overload protection (LD-G-30 only) The locomotive decoders LD-G-30 have an overload protection, which prevents them from overheating when exceeding the maximum motor or total current. As soon as the maximum motor or total current is exceeded, the decoder automatically temporarilly switches off. -

Page 24: Using Decoders With Interface Connectors
6.5. Use in locomotives with a.c. motor The LD-G-decoders of the 30s series (with load control) have been designed to control direct current (d.c.) motors, for that reason they cannot be connected directly to alternating current (a.c.) motors. You can control a.c. - Page 25 Locomotive decoders 30s series English 6.6. Mounting decoders without interface Locate the position for the decoder after opening the locomotive housing. Disconnect the motor from the rail current collectors or the change-over switch from the motor and rails if you have a locomotive with electronic change-over switch.
