1. Getting started
This manual will help you step by step to mount and commission the decoder safely and
correctly. Before you connect the decoder and put it into operation, please read this manual
completely, particularly the chapter on safety instructions and the checklist for trouble
shooting. You will then know where to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot
of effort to correct.
Keep this manual safely so that you can solve problems in the future. If you pass the decoder
on to another person, please pass on the manual with it.
1.1. Contents of the package
one locomotive decoder. N.B. For technical reasons it is possible that the PCB is not
completely inserted. This is not a fault.
one electrolytic capacitor, capacity: 220 µF, proof voltage: 35 V
Versions LD-G-43
(item number)
Connecting wires / Interface
41-04430 without cables / interface
41-04431 with connecting cables (cable length: 100 mm)
41-04432 with 8-pole plug according to NEM 652
41-04433 with 22-pole plug according to NEM 658 and RCN-122 (PluX22)
1.2. Required accessories
Tools and consumables
For mounting and connecting decoders without interface you need:
a soldering iron with temperature control and a thin tip and a deposit stand or a controlled
soldering station
a scraper, rag or sponge
a heat-resistant pad
a small pair of side cutters and wire strippers
tweezers and flat-nose pliers if necessary
electronic solder (preferably 0.5 to 0.8 mm diameter)
For the connection of decoders without interface or soldered connection cables you also need
stranded wires. If possible, use thin, flexible or highly flexible stranded wires that consist of
several thin individual wires and can be easily laid in the vehicle. Recommended cross-
sections:
> 0,04 mm² for the connections to the function outputs
> 0,05 mm² for the connections to the common return conductor and the backup capacitor
> 0,05 mm² for the connections to the motor and current collectors / slider
