Connection to a decoder output
Connect the connection "GND" to the appropriate output of the
locomotive or function decoder. Connect the connection "VCC" to the
return conductor of the output or the return conductor for all outputs.
Alternatively you can connect the connection "VCC" to the vehicle´s
housing ground. Please note that in this case the LEDs flicker due to
principle when the decoder is controlled in Motorola format.
Info: Light emitting diodes (LEDs)
When operated in the forward direction the LEDs light. They are
available in several different versions (differing in colour, size, form,
luminosity, maximum current, voltage limits). The longer lead of wired
LEDs is normally the anode (positive pole). With SMD-LEDs the cathode
normally is shown by a mark on the housing.
When using LEDs you always have to limit the current conduction (e.g.
by mounting a series resistor), otherwise they will be damaged after a
