Performing a visual check

Damaged materials can cause injury. Parts damaged during transit can
also be dangerous.Check the module for damage, missing parts or poor
soldering. If you find damage, return the module for exchange.

Mounting the locomotive decoder

Open the locomotive housing. Locate the position for the decoder.
Disconnect the motor from the rail current collector respectively the
change-over switch from the motor and rails if you have a locomotive
with electronic change-over switch.
!
Caution:
The interference suppression devices mounted to the motor or the
connecting wire must not be removed! Motor and interference
suppression devices are one unit. If even one part is removed, it can
cause extreme interference!
Connecting the LD-G-1
Follow the connections diagrams (fig. 4)! Solder the connections to the rails
at points X1 and X2 (rear of the decoder) and the connections to the motor
at the points X11 and X12 (rear of the decoder). The connection to the rails
is optional, but you must observe polarity when connecting the motor.
Connecting the LD-W-1
Follow the connections diagrams (fig. 5)! Solder the connections to the
rails at points X1 and X2 (rear of the decoder) and the connections to
the motor at the points X11, X12 and X19 (rear of the decoder).
Connecting the lighting and other accessories
Follow the connections diagrams (fig. 3a and 3b)!
Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps. Connect the lamps
for forward motion to X4 and the lamps for reverse to point X5 (front of the
decoder). If the lamps are already connected with one side to locomotive
ground, you must solder in a diode between the decoder and the lamp (see
