English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 4. Operation overview 4.1. Modes of operation Digital operation The locomotive decoder is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate with and automatically recognise both DCC or Motorola formats. The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used: Motorola-Format: 255 addresses, DCC-Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses. In the DCC format the decoder can be driven in all speed levels (14, 28 or 128).
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Analogue mode The locomotive decoder can also be used in analogue model railway layouts run with a D.C. or A.C. speed control. When putting the vehicle on the rails the decoder recognizes automatically if it is run in analogue or digital mode and sets the corresponding operation mode. The automatic recognition of the analogue mode can be switched off. ! Caution: Old analogue driving transformers (e.g.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 4.2. Driving of the motor Pulse width modulation The pulse width modulation (PWM) of the locomotive decoder can be set to a value between 60 Hz and 30 kHz. This enables you to adjust the decoder individually to the different motor types, including coreless motors. Load control The decoder has a load control. The load control influences the motor voltage to keep the locomotive with a set speed level at constant velocity, independent of additional loads (e.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English KD: The differential component of the load control ensures that the control is not converted too quickly. Is the set value to low then the locomotive stutters. If the set value is too high, the locomotive rocks while moving. Velocity characteristic The decoder can be adjusted to the driving characteristics of the motor and the characteristic speed of the locomotive type, by setting the starting, medium and maximum velocity.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 4.3. Function outputs The decoder has function outputs, which are available to connect optional accessories (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, sound module, electric coupling). The accessories´ number and type to be connected depends on the outputs´number and maximum current as well as on the maximum total current of the special decoder (see section 5 "Technical specifications").
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Dimming depending on the speed level: The voltage will be dimmed depending on the speed level. This enables weak smoke generation during halts or a switched off or dimmed cab lighting while the train is moving. MARslight (= light intensity going up and down): Example of use: american locomotives with this type of lighting.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus Integrated sounds (except LD-G-36 plus) The locomotive decoders LD-G-31 plus, LD-G-33 plus and LD-G-34 plus have three integrated sounds: locomotive whistle, bell, signal horn. Driving sound (LD-G-36 plus only) You can trigger different sounds via the digital control unit´s function keys (standing and driving sound, signal horn or locomotive whistle, decoupling or door closing sound, bell or second signal horn).
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English sensitivity to load changes; time of no-load running; assignment of the sounds to the function keys. 4.5. Releasing the functions The function outputs, the servo output, the integrated sounds and with the LD-G-36 plus the driving sounds can be released by: pushing the function keys and / or automatically via the two switching inputs. The switching inputs are released via external contacts, e.g.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 4.6. Automated processes The control software in the locomotive decoder allows you to automate procedures and to reduce complex processes to one keystroke. Automatic commuting operation It is possible to install an automatic commuting operation between two terminal stations, via the switching inputs. You can assign a function key to the automatic commuting operation, in order to switch it on or off during operation.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Dimming depending on the velocity You can automatically switch functions depending on the velocity when reaching a speed level defined in a CV. You assign an individual voltage to the function outputs for the ranges of speed levels underneath and above the defined speed level. This allows for example to switch on and off the high beam light, to control the cab light or to influence the intensity of the steam output.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus coupling from damage, the current is switched off automatically after the set time. The driving direction is changed over to the set direction of motion and the locomotive drives away a small distance from the decoupled carriage. 4.7.

Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Hint: There are locomotives available that have interfaces physically going up to the 21MTC interface, but not having 2 boosted outputs (corresponding to NEM 660) but 4 boosted outputs. Only locomotives made corresponding to NEM 660 are allowed to be labelled with the 21MTC logo. Please check on the package and in the manual of your locomotive whether the interface corresponds to NEM 660 or not and use the suitable decoder version. 6.8.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 6.9. INFO: Earth connections and voltage outputs Most locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus have several earth connections (-) as well as voltage outputs (+). In the connection lists the connections for the return conductors of the accessories, for the servos, reed contacts and Hall sensors and the buffer capacitors are specified as they are most practicable for usual assignment.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English 6.10. Mounting decoders without interface Locate the position for the decoder after opening the locomotive housing. Disconnect the motor from the rail current collectors or the change-over switch from the motor and rails if you have a locomotive with electronic change-over switch. The change-over switch is no longer necessary, you can remove it.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus Connecting accessories to the outputs Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps, otherwise the lamps might not light. Connect the lamps and the accessories to the function outputs of the decoder. If the lamp or the accessory is already connected with one side to vehicle ground, the connection is complete. If not, connect the second side of the lamp or the accessory to the decoder´s common return conductor for all function outputs.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English 6.11. Connecting LEDs to the function outputs The decoder´s function outputs switch respective to the decoder ground. For that reason you must connect the cathodes (-) of the LEDs to the function outputs and the anodes (+) to the decoder´s common return conductor for all function outputs.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus connection first add the forward voltages of all LEDs. The forward voltages depend on the lighting colour and should be given in the technical specifications. In case there is no manufacturer information available, you can take as a basis 4 V for white and blue LEDs and 2 V for yellow, orange, red and green LEDs. The remaining voltage has to be "eliminated" by a resistor.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English 6.12. Connecting inductive loads When connecting inductive loads (e.g. TELEX couplings, relays or other accessories with coils), you should switch a free-wheeling diode (e.g. 1N400x) in parallel, in order to avoid damage at the output. Check to connect the anode of the diode to the function output. 6.13.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 6.14. Connecting a loudspeaker Use a loudspeaker with an impedance of at least 4 Ohm. When connecting a loudspeaker with a lower impedance, the output for the loudspeaker will be damaged. As a rule the playback quality increases with the loudspeaker´s size. For that reason you should choose a loudspeaker as large as possible. In addition, the correct mounting of the loudspeaker is decisive for the sound reproduction.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Fig. 4: Connection of a buffer capacitor to improve the voltage supply and of a suppression choke at the loudspeaker 6.16. Connecting a servo (not with LD-G-31) Connect the signal input of the servo to servo output and the earth connection of the servo to an earth connection of the decoder. The voltage supply for the servo should not be taken from the decoder, as the decoder cannot supply the current needed to control the servo.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 6.17. Connecting the switching inputs Depending on the decoder type and layout you can connect components to be used to trigger the switching inputs (e.g. reedcontacts or Hall sensors) either directy to the soldering points or via the SUSI interface. With the decoder versions equipped with a SUSI plug (LD-G-33 plus and LD-G-36 plus in the PluX version), you need a SUSI socket with wire for the connection of the switching inputs (e.g. item no. 70-01111).
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English earth. It is possible to connect reed contacts or Hall sensors, for example, which make contact to earth when getting into the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. You can switch the switching inputs respective to the decoder mass as an alternative. In this case you have to solder a resistor (3,3 kOhm) into the connection between switching input and earth of the rails.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 6.18. Connecting a SUSI module (except LD-G-31 plus) The SUSI interface is a standardized interface for the connection of accessory modules to a vehicle decoder. Controlling the SUSI module has to be carried out by the vehicle decoder. In order to make the necessary settings for the SUSI module you have to program the decoder.
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English 7. Programming Programming with DCC central units You can program the configuration variables (CV) of the decoder from the digital central unit, you can use main track programming as well. See the chapter in the manual of your central unit where the byte wise programming of configuration variables (CVs) (Direct programming) and main track programming (POM) are explained.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus Starting the programming mode 1. Switch on the central unit or perform a reset at the central unit (pushing "stop" and "go" simultaneously). 2. Set the current decoder address (default value: 3) or the address "80". Programming the decoder 1. Enter the number of the register as a Motorola-address. If necessary: with a leading "0". 2. Operate the direction switch. à Lighting flashes faster. 3 Set all functions to "off".
Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English Programming with the CV-Navi Instead of programming the configuration variables or registers of the decoder using the digital central unit, you can use the free software CVNavi. In order to use the software, you need a digital central unit supporting the p50x-protocol (e.g. Tams MasterControl or Intellibox of Uhlenbrock**). You will find the free download presumably from beginning of 2014 under: www.tams-online.
English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus 8. Configuration variables and registers In the lists you will find in the column "No." the numbers of the configuration variables for programming in DCC format.
