Locomotives with the S Connector
Remove the plug-in circuit board originally installed in
the locomotive.
Shorten the connection wires for the decoder to a length of
approximately 5 mm / 1/4" and remove the insulation.
Plug the decoder into the connector with the components
facing up, unless there are other directions from the manuf-
acturer of the locomotive. The connecting wires should be
plugged in straight and may have to be bent slightly after
being plugged into the connector. These connecting wires
must not be allowed to come into contact with other wires
or conductors!
Installing the Decoder in Locomotives with a Connector
In order not to affect the warranty coverage, we recommend
leaving the installation of the decoder into locomotives
without a connector to an authorized dealer.
All connections between the motor and the connections to
the track must be separated (pickups, frame, etc.). The mo-
tor must be free of any ground connections! If a connection
is overlooked, it may cause the destruction of the decoder.
The electrical installation for the decoder is basically the
same as that shown in the illustration (Page 14). The last
thing to do is to mount the decoder with the double-side
adhesive tape included with the decoder. Before you run
the locomotive for the first time, you must test to make sure
that the decoder or its connections are not touching any
conductive metal surfaces.
Selectrix (Sx1)
The parameters supported by Sx1 can be changed as often
as desired with programming. The details for programming
standard parameters as well as advanced parameters can
be found in the documentation for your programming device.
Factory setting for standard parameters:
01-542
Factory setting for advanced parameters:
00-413
Note:
Reading and writing advanced parameters overwrites the
standard parameters for the decoder. The standard parame-
ters must therefore be entered again after editing advanced
parameters.
Selectrix 2 (Sx2)
The characteristics for the locomotive for Sx2 operation
can be changed as often as desired by programming the
parameters (PAR). Details for programming the parameters
can be found in the documentation for your programming
device. Please note the parameter table on Page 16 when
doing this.
DCC
The characteristics for the locomotive for DCC operation
can be changed as often as desired by programming the
Configuration Variables (CV). Details for programming the
CVs can be found in the documentation for your program-
ming device. Please note the CV table on Page 16 when
doing this.
