SD-34 | SD-34.2 English
4. Operation overview
The switching decoders SD-34 and SD-34.2 are designed to control
accessories, switched on and off or changed over via a change-over
relay, e.g.
 lightings,
 light signals,
 motor-run points with tape shut-off.
With one switching decoder you can control a maximum of four
accessories independent of each other.
Driving the decoder via accessory decoder commands
The outputs of the decoders SD-34 and SD-34.2 are operated via
accessory decoder commands in DCC or Motorola format, sent from the
central unit to one of the four accessory decoder´s addresses. The
decoders automatically recognize the commands´data format. It is
possible to switch the outputs via mixed DCC and Motorola commands
as well as to operate one output alternately in DCC and Motorola
format.
Operation via vehicle decoder commands ( SD-34.2 only)
You can use a vehicle decoder address (locomotive address) to operate
the switching decoder SD-34.2 instead of an accessory decoder address
(points address). The 4 outputs of the decoder are switched via the
function keys F1 to F4 then. This allows to use the SD-34.2 in
combination with DCC control units not designed for controlling points
addresses.
