brake module and the base. It prevents the diodes on the underside of the circuit board from
being accidentally damaged when the module is screwed on.

The seperation points for the braking section are on the left rail instead of the right rail
(seen in direction of travel) or are not continuous. à Check the seperation points.

The CV-settings of the locomotive decoder are not correct. à Check the CV-settings if the
ABC-braking method is active and if the ABC-detection is inverted.

The output voltage of the booster is not symmetrical. à If possible, change the ABC

output voltage due to their design may not be suitable for the use of the ABC braking
method.
