English FD-R Extended 1. Getting started How to use this manual ni k This manual gives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct fitting and connecting of the decoder, and operation. Before you start, we advise you to read the whole manual, 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.
FD-R Extended English Required materials For mounting and connecting the decoder you need: k an electronic soldering iron (max. 30 Watt) or a regulated soldering iron with a fine tip and a soldering iron stand, a tip-cleaning sponge, a heat-resistant mat, a small side cutter, a wire stripper and a pair of tweezers, electronic tin solder (0.5 mm diameter). ni tro In order to connect decoders without soldered connecting wires you will need wire. Recommended cross sections > 0.
English FD-R Extended 2. Safety instructions ni Mechanical hazards k ! Caution: Integrated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They are sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first discharging yourself. Touching a radiator or other grounded metal part will discharge you. tro Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB. Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger.
FD-R Extended English dispersion. Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the ready-built module. Fire risk Thermal danger tro ni k Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire, which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable materials. Use a suitable soldering iron stand.
English FD-R Extended ! Caution: Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children. In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be supervised by qualified personnel. ta m s el ek tro ni k In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to electronic work must be adhered to.
FD-R Extended English 3. Safe and correct soldering ! Caution: ni ta m s tro Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tip clean so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder point effectively. Only use electronic tin solder with flux. When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components and copper tracks.
English FD-R Extended 4. Operation overview 4.1. Modes of operation Digital operation ni k The function decoder FD-R Extended 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: el ek tro 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).
FD-R Extended ! English Caution: ni k Old analogue driving transformers (e.g. models in a blue housing from Maerklin**) are not suitable for use with digital decoders in analogue operation! These transformers have been designed for the older supply voltage of 220 V and, due to construction, generate very high excess voltage impulses when changing the driving direction.
English tro ni are switched off. Example of use: For some types of electric couplings you need the full voltage for decoupling and the voltage then siwtched off to protect the couplings. Shunting light: You can program the outputs so that they are switched on generally during shunting operation (to be switched with F3 or F4). The dependence on the direction of travel will be nullified for these outputs during shunting operation.
FD-R Extended English 4.3. Sound functions SUSI interface A SUSI module can be connected to the FD-R Extended and read out, programmed and controlled via the decoder. Integrated sounds tro ni k The function decoder transmits the function status and the speed level set at the central unit, to the SUSI module. This affects the SUSI module´s outputs depending on the speed level (e.g. motor sound).
English FD-R Extended Mapping of the outputs to the function keys The mapping of the outputs to the function keys and the switching inputs is arbritary. It is possible to assign several function keys and switching inputs to one output. DCC format MM format AUX1 to AUX6 F0 to F28 F0 to F4 or F5 to F9 (= F0 to F4 of a 2nd decoder address) ni k Output el ek 4.5. Automated processes tro All function outputs can be switched inverted, i.e.
FD-R Extended English 4.6. Feedback with RailCom** When so programmed, the FD-R Extended sends k RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of the address and the CV values from the decoder to the digital central unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be designed to send the RailCom messages.
English FD-R Extended 4.7. Overload Protection As soon as the maximum total current of the decoder is exceeded, the decoder automatically temporally switches off, in order to protect itself from overheating. This operation will be repeated until the overload has been eliminated. ni k When the maximum current at one output is exceeded, but not the maximum total current of the decoder, the overload protection of the decoder is without effect, the output will be damaged.
FD-R Extended English 4.8. POM-update POM-update is a procedure allowing to update the decoder´s firmware (= specific decoder software) without dismounting the decoder or using a specific device. POM-update is based upon programming on main (POM) for the DCC format. ni Function decoder FD-R Extended from version 2.0. Digital central unit with PC interface providing the DCC format and POM.

FD-R Extended English 6. Connections Note the following comment in order to protect the decoder from (maybe irreparable) damage! Avoid all conducting connections between the decoder and accessories connected to the decoder´s common return conductor for all function outputs on the one hand and metal parts of the vehicle or the rails on the other hand.
English FD-R Extended 6.1.
FD-R Extended English 6.2. Connection to the voltage supply When connecting the vehicle´s current collectors check the right assignment (left / right). When interchanging the connections, the outputs switched depending on the direction of motion will be switched incorrectly in regard to the direction of travel. k 6.3. Connecting accessories to the outputs tro ni Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps, otherwise the lamps might not light.
English FD-R Extended 6.4. 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.
FD-R Extended English 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. k The remaining voltage has to be "eliminated" by a resistor.

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. s 6.6.
English el ek tro ni k FD-R Extended Fig. 3: Connection of an accessory via a relay 6.7. Connecting a loudspeaker ta m s 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.
English FD-R Extended 6.8. Connecting a buffer capacitor ni k In sections with bad contact to the rails the power supply of the decoder can be interrupted. Possible consequences are e.g. flickering lighting or disturbing noises from the loudspeaker. In these and similar cases you can find a remedy by connecting a buffer capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor should have a capacity of minimum 220 µF and an electric strength of minimum 35 V.
FD-R Extended English 6.10. Connecting a servo k Connect the signal input of the servo to connecting point X15 and the earth connection of the servo to point X9 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. For that reason you need an external voltage supply for the servo (e.g. servo PCB item no. 70-05900).
English FD-R Extended 6.11. Connecting the switching inputs k The switching inputs switch respective to the decoder ground and thus can be connected to all (external) circuits allowing to make contact to 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. tro ni Beside the two connecting points IN1 and IN2 you can use the connecting point IN3 (X15) as a (3rd) switching input.
FD-R Extended English 6.12. Connecting a SUSI module 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. el ek tro ni k With the appropriate version of the decoder there is a SUSI plug connector soldered to the decoder back side, fit to insert the socket of the SUSI module.
English FD-R Extended 7. Programming Programming with DCC central units tro ni k You can programm 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.
FD-R Extended English Put the vehicle on a track oval or a track section connected to the central unit’s track output (not to the connection for the programming track). Make sure no other vehicle than the one you intend to program is set on the track as the decoder inside this vehicle might be programmed as well. 2.
