FCS modules LEDs for the vehicle´s lighting. Depending on the vehicle´s size and construction use the following: SMD LEDs type 0603, 0805 oder 1206 or wired LEDs 1,8 mm; when connecting white LEDs as front lights to the modules FCS-1, FCS-3 or FCS-4: 2 series resistors with 100 W. k English ni 2. Safety instructions el ek tro ! Caution: Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the module. They are sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first discharging yourself.
English k Only use low power for this module as described in this manual and only use certified transformers. Connect transformers and soldering irons only in approved mains sockets installed by an authorised electrician. Observe cable diameter requirements. After condensation build up, allow a minimum of 2 hours for dispersion. Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the ready-built module.
FCS modules English Other dangers Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they are inattentive and not responsible enough. Children under the age of 14 should not be allowed to work with this kit or the ready-built module. ni k ! Caution: Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children. tro In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified personnel.
English FCS modules 3. Safe and correct soldering ni The joint should be held still for about 5 seconds after soldering. To make a good soldering joint you should use a clean and unoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp piece of cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth. After soldering check (preferably with a magnifying glass) tracks for accidental solder bridges and short circuits. This would cause faulty operation or, in the worst case, permanent damage.
FCS modules English 4. Operation overview ni 4.1. Voltage supply k The modules are particularly designed for the use in vehicles compatible to the Faller** car system. The modules FCS-1 to FCS-4 are used in vehicles run with two accumulator batteries, the module FCS-L in vehicles with one accumulator battery or, when reducing the module´s input voltage, in vehicles run with two accumulator batteries, as well.

FCS modules English Dim switch (FCS-2 only) Depending on the ambient lighting, the lighting of the vehicle is switched on and off via a light sensitive switch. The sensitivity of the switch is set via a trimpot. Flashing lights (FCS-1 and FCS-4) Warning lights (FCS-3 only) ni k The FCS-1 has 5 outputs, the FCS-4 two outputs for the connection of orange or blue LEDs as flashing lights.
English FCS modules 4.3. Modes of operation FCS-1 "Emergency vehicle light" According to the connection of the circuit´s input, the LEDs connected to the five outputs are controlled by two different programmes: ni k Programme 1 "Double flashlight": The LEDs flash twice each and then go out for a short time. The LEDs connected to two of the five outputs double flash alternately. The other three outputs generate an asynchronous double flash which is interrupted by different intervals.
FCS modules English FCS-4 "Emergency vehicle module" k While the vehicle is in motion the flashing lights double flash and the siren is in operation with short breaks. When crossing a stop the back lights are switched brighter for a short time as braking lights and the siren is switched off (provided the reed contact which is in the vehicle is connected to the module). As long as the vehicle is in operation the flashing lights are switched on. Supply voltage tro FCS-1 to FCS-4 ni 5.

FCS modules English Light sensitive resistors Light sensitive resistors change their value depending on the ambient lighting. As a rule types are used which value decrease with increasing light intensity. Their mounting orientation is of no importance. Trimm-potentiometers tro ni k Trimm-potentiometers (abrv. "trimm-pots") are resistors which allow the value of resistance to be varied and that way to be adapted to the particular demands.
English FCS modules which limits the current and prevents failure. With circuits designed for the connection of LEDs the series resistors are often integrated on the circuit board. Transistors k Transistors are current amplifiers which convert low signals into stronger ones. There are several types in different package forms available. The type designation is printed on the component. Reed contacts (SRK) tro ni Transistors for a low power rating (e.g.
