The decoupling decoder
The de-coupling decoder 61197 is used to switch the 61118 electric decoupling track of the Geo-
Line track system.
▪ Usable only in digital operation
▪ Addressable via switch addresses 1-1024
▪ In digital operation controllable with the RocoNet system (Z21 / amplifier 10761/10764
multi MAUS 10810, RouteControl 10772 or Rocomotion 10785)
▪ Adjustable via CV-values
GB
▪ Protected against short-circuits and overheating
▪ Very compact design
Can be installed in the bed of the adjoining track as self-contacting (not in switches!)

Connection
Read the description before beginning the installation!
Ensure that the track system is current-free.
First, connect the decoder with the de-coupling track (Fig.1).
To facilitate this, use tweezers or small pliers, or bend the cable of the decoder directly at the
plug, but hold it 1-2 cm behind the plug and this way thread the plug into the socket of the
decoupler.
The decoder is installed in the adjoining track of the de-coupling track 61118, into the H-shaped
ligament provided for the feeding element (Fig. 2). The components are facing the track bed, as
the supply of the decoder happens via the four contact pins.
We recommend, for reasons of coupling mechanics, – as in the example – to uncouple
only on straight stretches of track, if possible. Therefore the length of the cable is desi-
gned to be installed in an adjoining straight stretch. If your track plan does not allow such
arrangement and the cable is too short, please contact our service department.
Handling the decoupling decoder
The decoupling decoder is factory-programmed with switch address 80
program engine addresses; therefore it is not suitable for operation with engine mouse 2/R3.
Any time the positioning key for the switch is pressed (straight or diverging) to its address, the
decoder will react by altering the status of the decoupler.
If you press the key for diverging or straight, the decoupler will raise. It will remain in this position
only for a certain time before lowering automatically. The period until automatic de-activation
can be modified via CV35. If you want the de-coupler to lower sooner, press the key diverging or
straight again.
Only in RocoNet system. For other systems compatibility reasons to RocoNet necessitate an
1
address shift of 4 digits down.
