Power-Block tams elektronik 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 Power-Block. Before you start to assemble the kit or put the Power-Block into operation, read this manual completely, especially the safety instructions and the section on possible errors and their elimination.
Power-Block 1.3. Intended use The Power-Block is intended for use in model making and 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.
Power-Block tams elektronik 2. Operation overview If a large number of electronic components are to be wired together with one connection, conventional cabling quickly becomes confusing and error-prone due to the large number of cables. Both the creation of the connections and the search for faults are therefore very time- consuming.
Power-Block 2.2. Subdivision into two sections The Power-Block is electrically divided into 2 sections (A and B). The 13 or 14 connections in the two sections are connected to each other. In the TB version, the two sections can be electrically connected to form one section by bridging one of the two 2-pole terminal (blocks) on the narrow sides (-→...
Power-Block tams elektronik Both LEDs light up when connected to an AC voltage source. Example: TB version The function of the DC and HC versions is identical when supplied with AC voltage. 2.4. Cascading several circuit boards If the number of connections on one board is insufficient, several power distribution boards can be connected in series (cascaded).
Power-Block 3. Assembling the kit (TB version only) You can skip this section if you have purchased a ready-built module. 3.1. Safety instructions Mechanical hazards Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB.
Power-Block tams elektronik 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.
Power-Block 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.
Power-Block tams elektronik 3.5. Assembly Proceed according to the order given in the list below. First solder the components on the solder side of the PCB and then cut the excess wires with the side cutter. Follow the instructions on soldering in section 3.2.
Power-Block 4. Connecting the Power-Block 4.1. Connection of loads to a power supply The connection examples show the common connection of numerous loads to a common power supply. The following can be used as a power supply: ...
Power-Block tams elektronik 4.2. Connection of loads to circuits Only the TB version of the Power-Block is suitable for connecting loads to the outputs of circuits. By using the Power-Block the wiring remains clear, even if several loads are connected to one output ...

Power-Block Connection example 4 More than 12 loads are connected to the circuit in this example. Areas A and B of the Power- Block are therefore connected to each other at terminal (block) X2, thus cancelling the electrical separation of the two areas.
Power-Block tams elektronik 5. Checklist for troubleshooting and error correction Warning: If you notice a strong heat development, immediately disconnect the connection to the supply voltage. Fire hazard! Possible causes: One or more connections are faulty. à Check the connections.
