FD-5EnglishEMC declarationThis product is developed in accordance with the European standardsEN 55014 and EN 50082-1, tested corresponding to the EC - directive89/336/EWG (EMVG of 09/11/1992, electromagnetic tolerance) andmeets legal requirements.To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance you must take thefollowing precautions:• Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installedby an authorised electrician.• Make no changes to the original parts and accurately follow theinstructions, circuit diagram and PCB layout included with this manual.• Use only original spare parts if you have to repair module.Information: Speed modeDigital control units for DCC format can send 14, 28 or 128 speed levelsdepending on the model and the settings. The number of speed levels sentby the control unit (=speed mode) must be set at the decoder as well.The speed mode set at the digital control unit for a particular decoderaddress must correspond to the speed mode saved in the functiondecoder. Otherwise the performance of the decoder may be incorrect.Information: Configuration variables (CVs)You can set the so-called configuration variables of the decoder fromthe control unit. The programming of the variables allows theadjustment of the decoder to the individual needs of the user.The configuration variables are saved in the decoder and are alsopreserved if the decoder is switched off. Changing the configurationvariables is possible at any time from the digital control unit.The configuration variables for the DCC format are standarised. Thevariables that can be set depend on the decoder type.Page 21

EnglishFD-5Operation overviewThe decoder is designed for operation in DCC format and can beadjusted to one of 127 basic-adresses. It evaluates the digital data sentby the control unit to its address and switches the accessoriesconnected to the seven outputs via the functions F0 to F4. Thefunctions F5 to F8 are not available with the FD-5.The configuration variables of the FD-5The following configuration variables (CVs) can be set from the digitalcontrol unit:• Basic address (CV 1)• Consist-Address (CV 19)• Configuration data (CV 29)• Utilisation and setting of output X9 and X10 (CV 56):1. Lighting according to the direction of travel for forwarddirection or constant light2. F4 to switch or lighting according to the direction of travel forbackward direction.Function F0 (Light)The lights can be switched from the digital control unit. You can either setthe lighting according to the direction of travel or a fixed light for bothdirections of travel by programming the configuration variable CV 56.Functions F1 and F3Each of the functions F1 and F3 allow two accessories connected to theoutputs X4 and X5 resp. X7 and X8, with a max. current consumption of500 mA, to be switched on or off. Parallel switching of the outputs is alsopossible. In this way accessories with a maximum current consumption ofup to 900 mA can be switched. They are available for optional accessories(e.g. smoke generator, cab lighting, sound module).Page 22

FD-5EnglishFunction F2The function F2 allows an accessory connected to the output X6, with amaximum current consumption of 500 mA, to be switched on or off.Function F4If the configuration variable CV 56 is programmed accordingly, thefunction F4 allows an optional accessory, connected to the output X9,to be switched on or off. If lighting for reverse direction is programmedfor the output X9, the function F4 has no effect on this output.Point connectionsX1Return conductor for all functions.X2 und X3 Connections to the rails .X4 und X5Two optional accessories with a maximum currentconsumption of 500 mA* each or one optional accessorywith a maximum current consumption of 900 mA*.Switched via F1.X6 Optional accessory with a maximum currentconsumption of 500 mA*.

FD-5EnglishSafe and correct soldering!Caution:Incorrect soldering can cause fires (through excessive heat). Avoid thisdager by reading the chapter Safety instructions again and followingthe directions given.If you have had training in soldering you can skip this chapter.• When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water orsoldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode componentsand copper tracks.• Only use tin solder SN 60 Pb (i.e. 60 % tin, 40 % lead) with rosinbasedflux.• Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tipclean so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder pointeffectively.• Solder fast: long soldering can destroy components and coppertracks, and damages through plated holes.• Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the partand the soldering spot are heated at the same time. Simultaneouslyadd solder (not too much). As soon as the solder becomes liquid take itaway. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a few seconds so that thetin solder finds its way, then remove the soldering iron.• Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after soldering. Aglossy and perfect soldering spot should remain.• To make a good soldering joint you must use a clean andunoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp pieceof cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth.Performing a visual checkDamaged materials can cause injury. Parts damaged during transit canalso be dangerous. Check the module for damage, missing parts orpoor soldering. If you find damage, return the module for exchange.Page 25

EnglishFD-5Mounting the function decoderOpen the locomotive or the carriage housing. Locate the position forthe decoder.Follow the connections diagrams (fig. 1a and 1b)! Solder theconnections to the rails at points X2 and X3.Connecting the lighting and other accessoriesFollow the connections diagrams (fig. 1a and 1b)!Disconnect any existing diodes in the leads to the lamps. Connect thelamps for forward motion to X10 and - if desired - the lamps for reversemotion to point X9. If the lamps are already connected with one side toground, you must solder in a diode between the decoder and the lamp(see fig. 1a) Otherwise you must connect the second side of the lampsaccording to fig. 1b to the return conductor (point X1).Connect other accessories (e.g. smoke generator, noise module), whichare switched by the functions F1 to F4, to the points X4 to X8. Connectthe accessory which is switched via the function F2 to the point X6. Theaccessories connected to the points X4 and X5 resp. the points X7 andX8 are switched jointly on and off via the functions F1 resp. F3. If youwant to connect an accessoriy with a current consumption of more than500 mA you must connect the two outputs in parallel (fig. 1a and 1 b,connection to X4 and X5). You can connect a further accessory to pointX9 which can be switched via the function F4 instead of the lighting forreverse direction.! Caution:The current consumption of all connected accessories may not exceed1.500 mA!You can connect the second side of the accessories either to the returnconductor (point X1) or to ground. If connecting the accessory toground you must solder in a diode.Page 26

FD-5English! Caution:The return conductor for all functions (point X1) must under nocircumstances be connected to locomotive resp. carriage ground.Possible short circuit! The decoder will be damaged in operation.! Caution:If you connect the loads to the return conductor for all functions (pointX1), the loads must be insulated. The loads must not make contact withmetal parts of the locomotive or the carriage. Possible short circuit! Thedecoder will be damaged in operation.Connecting the LEDsThe function outputs of the decoder switch against decoder ground. Forthat reason you must connect the cathode (-) of the LED to the outputof the relevant function.! Caution:If you use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) you must always operate themvia a series resistor.LEDs are available in many different models. There are LEDs with 2-5mA, but also LEDs with 15-30 mA power consumption. The seriesresistor limits the current flow of the LED and will need to be calculatedfor each model. Ask for the max current rating when buying your LEDs.You can connect several LEDs in parallel to each output. In this case everyLED must have a series resistor of its own. If you connect several LEDs toone output in series, only one series resistor is needed. The number ofLEDs connected in series to one output depends on the digital voltage.You can determine the number of the LEDs that can be connected inseries to one output from the following formula:(number of LEDs + 2) x 1,5 < digital voltageFixing the decoderAfter completing all connections fix the decoder with double-sidedadhesive tape, for example.Page 27

EnglishFD-5Programming the function decoderThe function decoder is programmed from the digtial control unit. Seechapter in the manual of your digital control unit where theprogramming of configuration variables (CVs) is explained.You can programm the following function decoder variables:CV-NameEingabewert(Auslieferungszustand)BasicaddressConsistaddressConfigurationdataUtilizationand settingof outputX9 and X10Page 28CV-Nr.1 1 ... 127(3)19 1 ... 127(0)29 0,1,2 or 3(2)56 0,1,2 or 3(3)Erläuterungen= 2nd addressThis data is set by entering thesum of the numerical values.Numerical valuedirection "standard" 0invert direction 114 speed levels 028 speed levels 2This data is set by entering thesum of the numerical values.Numerical valueConstant lighting 0Lighting accordingto direction of travel 1Optional accessoryswitched via F4 0Lighting forreverse direction 2

FD-5EnglishFAQ• Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke.! Disconnect the module from the mains immediately!Possible cause: Short circuit. The decoder is connected tolocomotive or carriage ground.à Check the connections. A short circuit can result in irreparabledamage.• The lighting does not correspond to the direction of travel.Possible cause: The configuration data (CV29) of the locomotivedecoder in the train vary from the configuration data programmedin the function decoder.à Change the programming or the function or the locomotivedeocder.• The lighting for forward dirction cannot be switched via F0.Possible cause: The speed mode of the decoder and the digitalcontrol unit do not correspond.
