1. Gettin started

How to use this manual

This manual ives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct fittin

and connectin of the decoder, and operation. Before you start, we

advise you to read the whole manual, particularly the chapter on safety

instructions and the checklist for trouble shootin . You will then know

where to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot of

effort to correct.

Keep this manual safely so that you can solve problems in the future. If

you pass the decoder on to another person, please pass on the manual

with it.

Intended use

The function decoder FD-R Basic 2 is desi ned to be operated

accordin to the instructions in this manual in model buildin , especially

in di ital model railroad layouts. Any other use is inappropriate and

invalidates any uarantees.

The function decoder FD-R Basic 2 should not be mounted by children

under the a e of 14.

Readin , understandin and followin the instructions in this manual

are mandatory for the user.

Checking the package contents

Please make sure that your packa e contains:

one or five function decoders, dependin on the version

without soldered connectin wires or

with soldered connectin wires;

a CD (containin the manual, Software "POM-Updater.exe" and

further information).

Required materials

For mountin and connectin the decoder you need:

an electronic solderin iron (max. 30 Watt) or a re ulated solderin

iron with a fine tip and a solderin iron stand,

a tip-cleanin spon e,

a heat-resistant mat,

a small side cutter, a wire stripper and a pair of tweezers,

electronic tin solder (0.5 mm diameter).

In order to connect decoders without soldered connectin wires you will

need wire. Recommended cross sections: > 0.04 mm² for all

connections.

In order to brid e short current interruptions you need:

an electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of 100 to 470 µF and a

proof volta e of minimum 25 V.

2. Safety instructions

Caution:

Inte rated circuits (ICs) are inserted on the decoder. They are

sensitive to static electricity. Do not touch components without first

dischar in yourself. Touchin a radiator or other rounded metal part

will dischar e you.

Mechanical hazards

Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch

out for sharp ed es when you pick up the PCB.

Visibly dama ed parts can cause unpredictable dan er. Do not use

dama ed parts: recycle and replace them with new ones.

Electrical hazards

Touchin powered, live components,

touchin conductin components which are live due to malfunction,

short circuits and connectin the circuit to another volta e than

specified,

impermissibly hi h humidity and condensation build up

can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the followin

precautions to prevent this dan er:

Never perform wirin on a powered module.

Assemblin and mountin 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 solderin irons only in approved mains

sockets installed by an authorised electrician.

Observe cable diameter requirements.

After condensation build up, allow a minimum of 2 hours for

dispersion.

Use only ori inal spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the

ready-built module.

ire risk

Touchin flammable material with a hot solderin iron can cause fire,

which can result in injury or death throu h burns or suffocation.

Connect your solderin iron or solderin station only when actually

needed. Always keep the solderin iron away from inflammable

materials. Use a suitable solderin iron stand. Never leave a hot

solderin iron or station unattended.

Thermal danger

A hot solderin iron or liquid solder accidentally touchin your skin can

cause skin burns. As a precaution:

use a heat-resistant mat durin solderin ,

always put the hot solderin iron in the solderin iron stand,

point the solderin iron tip carefully when solderin , and

remove liquid solder with a thick wet ra or wet spon e from the

solderin tip.

Dangerous environments

A workin area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause

accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by workin in a clean, dry room

with enou h freedom of movement.

Other dangers

Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they

are inattentive and not responsible enou h. Children under the a e of

14 should not be allowed to work with this kit or the ready-built

module.

Caution:

Little children can swallow small components with sharp ed es, with

fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.

In schools, trainin centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be

supervised by qualified personnel.

In industrial institutions, health and safety re ulations applyin to

electronic work must be adhered to.

3. Safe and correct solderin

Caution:

Incorrect solderin can cause dan ers throu h fires and heat. Avoid

these dan ers by readin and followin the directions iven in the

chapter Safety instructions.

Use a small solderin iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the solderin tip

clean so the heat of the solderin iron is applied to the solder point

effectively.

Only use electronic tin solder with flux.

When solderin electronic circuits never use solderin -water or

solderin rease. They contain acids that can corrode components

and copper tracks.

Solder quickly: holdin the iron on the joints lon er than necessary can

destroy components and can dama e copper tracks or solderin eyes.

Apply the solderin tip to the solderin spot in such a way that the

wire and the solderin eye are heated at the same time.

Simultaneously add solder (not too much). As soon as the solder

becomes liquid take it away. Hold the solderin tip at the spot for a

few seconds so that the solder flows into the joint, then remove the

solderin iron.

The joint should be held still for about 5 seconds after solderin .

To make a ood solderin joint you should use a clean and

unoxidised solderin tip. Clean the solderin tip with a damp piece of

cloth, a damp spon e or a piece of silicon cloth.

After solderin check (preferably with a ma nifyin lass) tracks for

accidental solder brid es and short circuits. This would cause faulty

operation or, in the worst case, permanent dama e. You can remove

excess solder by puttin a clean solderin tip on the spot. The solder

will become liquid a ain and flow from the solderin spot to the

solderin tip.

4. Operation overview

The FD-R Basic 2 can be used as

a function decoder, e. . to switch the li htin in a control car and /

a RailCom transmitter in addition to a locomotive or function decoder

that is not compatible to RailCom.

4.1. Modes of operation

Digital operation

The function decoder FD-R Basic 2 is a multiple protocol decoder, that

can operate with and automatically reco nise both DCC or Motorola

formats.

The number of addresses is dependant on the format bein used:

Motorola-Format: 255 addresses,

DCC-Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 Basic addresses.

In the DCC format the decoder can be driven in all speed levels (14, 28

or 128).

Pro rammin the decoders is done:

in Motorola format (MM) by settin the re isters,

in DCC format by settin the confi uration variables (direct

pro rammin , DCC conform) or by POM (pro rammin on main =

main track pro rammin ).

Analogue mode

The decoder can also be used in analo ue model railway layouts run

with a D.C. speed control (not with an A.C. speed control). When puttin

the vehicle on the rails the decoder reco nizes automatically if it is run

in analo ue or di ital mode and sets the correspondin operation

mode. The automatic reco nition of the analo ue mode can be

switched off.

It is not possible to switchin the function outputs on or off in analo ue

mode. Outputs to be switched with F0 are switched on or off in

analo ue mode accordin to the direction of travel with layouts run with

a D.C. speed control, provided the return conductor of the lamps or

accessories is connected to the decoder´s return conductor for all

functions.

4.2. Function outputs

The decoder has three function outputs for the connection of optional

accessories (e. . li htin , smoke enerator, electric couplin ):

two outputs with a maximum current of 300 mA each and

one output with a maximum current of 100 mA each.

Effects of all function outputs

Switchin on and off dependin on the direction of travel.

Flashin : frequency, keyin ratio (= ration of on to off) and startin

time within a phase can be set. Examples of use: sin le flashli hts,

alternatin flashli hts or strobe li hts.

Dimmin : Example of use: The electric bulbs of older vehicles made

for analo ue operation can be dimmed and thus must not be

exchan ed after the mountin of the decoder.
