6.7. Connecting a buffer capacitor
In sections with bad contact to the rails the power supply of the
decoder can be interrupted. Possible consequences are e.g. flickering
lighting. In these and similar cases you can find a remedy by
connecting a buffer capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor should have a
capacity of 100 to 470 µF and an electric strength of minimum 25 V.
Observe the correct polarity when connecting the capacitor!
6.8. Fixing the decoder
After having finished all connections you should fix the decoder, to
avoid short circuits by contact to metal parts of the vehicle, for
example. You can use double sided adhesive tape for it, for example.
