Introduction/Safety instruction:

You have purchased the 4-fold turnout decoder S-DEC-4 for

your model railway as a kit or as finished module.

The S-DEC-4 is a high quality product that is supplied within the

assortment of Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT).

We wish you having a good time using this product.

The turnout decoder S-DEC-4 of the Digital-Professional-

Series can be easily installed and used on your digital railway.

The colored point on the receiver device indicates to which

digital system the decoder can be adapted.

In case the receiver device is marked red the decoder is

suitable for Märklin-Digital~ respectively for Märklin-Motorola

layouts.

In case the receiver device is marked yellow the S-DEC-4 will

be suitable for the DCC Data format, used for instance at the

systems of Lenz-Digital Plus, Arnold-, Märklin-Digital=,

Intellibox, TWIN-CENTER, Roco-Digital, EasyControl, ECoS,

KeyCom-DC, Digitrax, DiCoStation and Zimo.

The decoder S-DEC-4 is multi digital and can be installed to

the Intellibox without any problems.

The finished module comes with 24 month warranty.

• Please read the following instructions carefully. Warranty will

expire due to damages caused by disregarding the operating

instructions. LDT will also be not liable for any consequential

damages caused by improper use or installation.

Connecting the decoder to your digital

model railway layout:

• Attention: Before starting the installation switch off the

drive voltage by pushing the stop button from the

command station or disconnect the main supply.

The decoder receives the digital information via the clamp

KL1. Connect the clamp with a rail or even better connect the

clamp directly to the command station or to a booster assuring

supply of digital information free from any interference.

Pay attention to the mark at clamp KL1. The color markings

'Black/Schwarz' and 'Red/Rot' next to the clamp are used for

Arnold-Digital (old) and Märklin-Digital=.

Other systems are using the letters 'J' and 'K'.

If you use the decoder for a Märklin-Digital~ respectively

Märklin-Motorola installation please attend to the colors marks

'red/rot' and 'brown/braun'.

The decoder receives the power supply via clamp KL2 (middle

and left clamp marked with ~ ). Voltage in the range of 12 to

18V~ is acceptable (alternate current output of a model railway

transformer).

If you do not want to supply power to the decoder S-DEC-4

from an external transformer you can connect the clamp

KL1 to KL2 with two wires. In this case the decoder will get the

power supply complete from the digital system.

Now connect turnouts, signals, uncoupling tracks or the

permanent power switch unit [DSU] to the 3-pole clamp marked

1 to 4.

The common conductor of a double coil (turnout or signal) has

to be connected to the middle clamp of the relevant decoder

output clamp. The two remaining cables mostly marked with red

(turnout round) and green (turnout straight) shall be connected

to the clamps marked ‚G‘ and ‚R‘ accordingly.

Programming the decoder address:

To program the decoder address a turnout has to be connected

to the output 1 of the decoder.

• Switch on the power supply of your model rail way.

• Press the programming key S1. Do not touch the integrated

circuits of the pc-board because any electrostatic discharge

can destroy the IC`s.

• The turnout connected to output 1 will move now

automatically every 1,5 seconds. This indicates that the

decoder is in the programming mode.
