9. Check list for troubleshooting
Parts are getting very hot and/or start to smoke.
Disconnect the system from the mains immediately!
Possible cause: one or more connections are soldered incorrectly.
→ Check the connections.
Possible cause: Short circuit between the decoder or accessories
connected to the retrun conductor for all functions and metal parts
of the locomotive or the rails. → Check the connections. A short
circuit can result in irreparable damage.
Problems with switching of the functions
An accessory / a light does not react to switching commands.
Possible cause: The accessory is defective or incorrectly connected.
→ Check the accessory / the connections.
Possible cause: The output is defective (e.g. due to overload or short
circuit). → Send in the decoder for check / repair (with costs).
The lighting goes on and off when the speed levels are turned up or
the lighting cannot be switched on or off.
Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digital control
unit do not correspond. Example: The central is set to the mode 28
speed levels, but the decoder to the mode 14 speed levels. → Change
the speed mode at the central and / or at the decoder.
