FD-R Basic.3

6. Connections

Avoid irreparable damage!
!
Observe the following instructions to avoid damage to the decoder:
1. No conductive connections to metal parts or rails!
Avoid all conductive connections between the decoder or consumers
connected to the return conductor for all functions on the one hand,
and metal parts of the vehicle or the rails on the other hand.
Connections are caused e.g. by insufficiently insulated connecting
cables (even at the stripped ends of unused connecting cables!) or
insufficient fastening and insulation of the decoder or consumers.
Danger of short circuit!
2. Do not connect the return conductor to vehicle ground!
You should under no circumstances connect the decoder´s common
return conductor for all function outputs to vehicle ground. Risk of
short circuit!
3. Exclude overload!
Before connecting lights and additional accessories, check that the
current is below the maximum permissible values and that the total
current is not exceeded. If the permissible current is exceeded, the
decoder may be damaged during commissioning.
4. Not for use in analogue AC systems!
The FD-R Basic.3 is only approved for analogue operation with DC
driving transformers. If it is used in analogue AC systems, irreparable
damage to the components of the decoder may occur.
