1.3. Intended use
The locomotive decoder LD-G-43 is designed to be operated according to the instructions in
this manual in model building, especially in digital model railroad layouts. Any other use is
inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.
The locomotive decoder should not be mounted by children under the age of 14.
Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual are mandatory for the
user.
1.4. Safety instructions
The LD-G-43 locomotive decoder is equipped with integrated circuits (ICs). These are
sensitive to electrostatic charge. Therefore, do not touch the decoder until you have
"discharged" yourself. For this purpose, e.g. a grip on a radiator is sufficient.
Improper use and non-observance of the instructions can lead to incalculable hazards. Prevent
these dangers by carrying out the following measures:
Only carry out installation work when the decoder is de-energised. When carrying out
soldering work on the decoder, also observe the instructions in sections 3.1 and 3.2.
Only carry out installation work in closed, clean and dry rooms. Avoid moisture, wetness
and splashing water in your working environment.
Supply the decoder only with extra-low voltage as specified in the technical data. Only use
tested and approved transformers for this purpose.
Only plug the mains plugs of transformers and soldering irons / soldering stations into
professionally installed and fused earthed sockets.
Do not expose the decoder to high ambient temperatures or direct sunlight. Observe the
information on the maximum operating temperature in the technical data.
If you notice damage or malfunctions, switch off the supply voltage immediately. Send the
decoder in for inspection.
