Connecting and installing the POWER1 storage module to the GOLD decoder
The connections of the POWER1 storage module are designed as loose wires. The module is
encapsuated by a heat-shrinking sleeve that protects sensitive components and facilitates
installation. It also serves to prevent short-circuits to the metal components inside the locomotive -
do not remove it from the module on any account.
The POWER1 storage module measures approx. 22 x 13.3 x 9.4 mm.
GOLD decoders are equipped with soldering surfaces to which the cables of the POWER1 storage
module must be soldered. The precise location of these surfaces is described in the respective
decoder manual:
