Operation Overview - Motorola LD-W-1 Manual

LD-G-1 / LD-W-1 English

Operation overview

The decoder is designed for operation in Motorola I or II format and can
be adjusted to one of 255 adresses. It evaluates the digital data sent by
the central unit to its address and transmitts it to the locomotive.
Function speed level and direction of motion
The speed level set at the central unit and the change-direction
command are transmitted to the locomotive by the decoder. At a
direction change the existing direction of travel is not saved, so the
locomotive continues in Motorola I format in its preferred direction after
the decoder has been off for some time.
Velocity characteristics
Two velocity characteristics are available. By attaching a solder bridge
the second velocity characteristic can be fixed. Compared to the set
standard velocity characteristic this characteristic allows a higher
maximum speed, however the shunting gear is no longer available.
Acceleration and brake delay
Three variants of acceleration and brake delay are available: fast, medium
and slow. By attaching solder bridges one of the three variants can be fixed.
Function lighting
The lighting can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel
from the central unit via the function "function". In addition, another optional
accessory can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel.
Auxiliary functions in Motorola II format
The auxiliary functions F1 to F4 can be switched from the central unit.
They are available to control optional accessories (e.g. smoke
generator, cab lighting, noise module).
Shunting gear
If the standard velocity characteristic is set, the auxiliary function F4
allows you to switch into the shunting gear mode. In the shunting gear
