S88-3 English
7. Connecting the S88-3
The S88-3 has two RJ-45 sockets (IN, OUT) to connect commercial
Ethernet patch-cables (RJ-45 cables), which allow an interference free
connection to other feedback modules or digital devices.
Use a 6-conductor connecting cable for the connection of digital devices
or upstream customary feedback modules which you connect to the 6-
pole connector of the S88-3. Alternatively you can use an adapter S88-
A (optional extra) for the connection via a patch-cable.
There are terminal strips soldered to the inputs and to the earth
connection of the S88-3 which are used to insert and screw on the
connecting wires.
Functional test
First connect the output "OUT" of the S88-3 to the central unit, the
memory or the interface for a functional test. Fix a connecting cable to
the module’s earth connection X2 and connect it one after the other to
all 16 inputs. Check if the correct status message is shown for all
inputs.
Installing in the layout
After performing a successful functional test install the S88-3 at the
desired place on your model railway. Connect the inputs 1 to 16 to the
mass contacts and connect the module to the central unit, the memory
or the interface or to another feedback module.
