Functions
The S88 AC decoder registers and stores in memory elec-
trical contacts when momentary or continuous switches
connected to it are activated. Typical momentary contacts
are the Märklin circuit track or reed contacts. An example
of a continuous contact is the Märklin H0 contact tracks. All
8
switching contacts used with the S88 decoder must switch
to ground (brown connection) in the Märklin Digital system.
This ground connection can also be made on the track
detection module (socket marked with –).
Connect
This decoder is connected with the cable included with it
directly to the L88 or to another S88 AC (make sure the cable
is plugged in correctly). An address is assigned automati-
cally.
See Page 10 for various connections for the contacts. Con-
figuration of the contacts can only be done with the control
unit (see instructions for the control unit being used).
