English FI-1 Intended use The function inverter FI-1 is designed to be operated according to the instructions in this manual in model building, especially with model railways. Any other use is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees. The function inverter FI-1 should not be mounted by children under the age of 14. Checking the package contents ni k Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual are mandatory for the user.
FI-1 English Electrical hazards ta m Fire risk tro el ek Never perform wiring on a powered module. Assembling and mounting the kit should only be done in closed, clean, dry rooms. Beware of humidity. Only use low power for this module as described in this manual and only use certified transformers. Connect transformers and soldering irons only in approved mains sockets installed by an authorised electrician. Observe cable diameter requirements.
English FI-1 Thermal danger A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can cause skin burns. As a precaution: k use a heat-resistant mat during soldering, always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand, point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge from the soldering tip.
FI-1 English 3. Safe and correct soldering ! Caution: ni tro ta m el ek 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 FI-1 4. Operation overview The function inverter has to be connected between the LED and the function output of the locomotive or function decoder and inverts the polarity of the decoder connections. Examples of use: tro ni k Red-yellow or red-white dual-LEDs are suitable as the front or back lighting of model railway locomotives or carriages. Often they have a common cathode for both colours.
FI-1 English 6. Connecting the FI-1 Connecting the LEDs k LEDs should always be connected to the function outputs of the vehicle decoder via a series resistor. If not operated via a series resistor they will be destroyed when put into operation. The value of the series resistor depends on the supply voltage.
English FI-1 Example: Connecting dual-LEDs The LEDs are connected that way the yellow parts light at forward motion. Connecting point FI-1 Connection to X1 (colour: yellow) Function outputs of the vehicle decoder k X2 (colour: red) Return conductor for all outputs of the decoder X4 Anodes (+) of the yellow LEDs of the dual-LEDs X5 Anodes (+) of the red LEDs of the dual-LEDs X6 Cathodes (-) of the dual-LEDs ta m s el ek tro ni X3 Fig.
FI-1 English 7. Check list for troubleshooting Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke. ! Disconnect the system from the mains immediately! k Possible cause: The supply voltage is too high. à Reduce the supply voltage according to the specifications in the chapter "Technical specifications". The LED does not light. Possible cause: None of the decoder outputs are active. à Check if at least one of the function outputs of the decoder is switched on.
English FI-1 8. Guarantee bond ni k For this product we issue voluntarily a guarantee of 2 years from the date of purchase by the first customer, but in maximum 3 years after the end of series production. The first customer is the consumer first purchasing the product from us, a dealer or another natural or juristic person reselling or mounting the product on the basis of selfemployment. The guarantee exists supplementary to the legal warranty of merchantability due to the consumer by the seller.
FI-1 English 9. EU declaration of conformity This product conforms with the EC-directives mentioned below and is therefore CE certified. ni Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installed by an authorised electrician. Make no changes to the original parts and accurately follow the instructions, connection diagrams and PCB layout included with this manual. Use only original spare parts for repairs. tro k 2004/108/EG on electromagnetic.
