Stop in a single siding track As an example for a train stop in a single siding track or station. Additionally on pull in or out the bell will start from the decoder Note: In this example we use a signal, that doesn’t exist. You don’t need a signal to use the functions! Please program the IR-Sender as follows: CV 32 = 5 (Address of the signal) CV 41 =…
Simple Shuttle operation with two stops As an example we will describe here a simple shuttle operation with two end points. The locos will stop in the station and will start after a fixed time. Please program the IR-Sender 1 as follows: CV 32 = 1 (Address of the signal) CV 41 = 5 (Automatic) CV 42 = 4 (Shuttle forward) CV 45 = 15 (15 Sec. stop) Activate it…
Here we wan’t to describe the Reset address (CV31+32). You can set this in the IR Receiver. Following example: You drive on your layout until the signal red, the locomotive stops. You take your locomotive off the track and pack it up. At a guest layout you put your locomotive on the track, but the locomotive is blocked by a red signal from the previous trip! Now you need…

Here we want to describe the control of the IR receiver via the contact inputs of the decoder. If your decoder does not have a SUSI-BIDI interface (see here), you can still use our infrared system. Automatic or switching functions are not possible here. Connect the receiver as shown below. As an example, an XL decoder was chosen. In the IR receiver, set CV 62 to 2 to activate…
Description of the Block signal mode with our IR System. You need additional Track Contacts and a Feedback module. Input A set the signals to red, input B set the signal to green. The last contact (4) has a special function. He releases the block signal again. If your block signal layout is a circle, you can remove the last contact. Therefore you have to connect 1A with 3B….
Sometimes the elimination of radio problems can be very easy. The cause is sometimes “animal nature” as you can see in the picture. Here ants have disturbed the Massoth Bus by being run through the contacts. The voltage meant Unfortunately for the ants to death. Since the ants are still at the contacts, thereby the signal is still disturbed. After cleaning the contacts, everything should work again.
Identification of the decoder when installed Often you have the problem with a hand purchased loco, not knowing what decoder is installed. There is some advice on how to get information about it. As an example using our navigator in CV reading mode You can identify the manufacturer in CV 8. Based on the value you can then assign the manufacturer. Below is a list of the most common…
For a turntable you have to connect a Reverse Loop Module. In this sketch you can see how to connect.
Here we would like to briefly explain what reinforced and unreinforced switching outputs of our decoders are. Below is a drawing that explains how the outputs work (As an example with a XLS): A reinforced output is connected between + 22V and the switching output. If the switching output is turned off, there is +22V output, therefore is no potential difference is and no current flows. If the switching…
Attached you can find a manual how to connect the decoupler to OnBoard small with programming. Entkuppler_an_LGB_OnBoard_klein.pdf
Attached you can find the connection diagram of the big LGB Onboard Decoder. Uncoupler 1 will be connected normally. Uncoupler 2 cut off the plug and connect red to + F2 brown to – F2 black to black of decoupler 1 You have to decide whether you want to dispense with the smoke unit. Programming: CV49=32 CV56=32 CV51= 1-8 (Desired button F1) CV57= 1-8 (Desired button F2) LGB-ZD-3A-komplett.pdf
Connection at LGB 55021 here we will show some connectivity options for several LGB Decoder. The following must be observed: You should have soldering skill and experience. Disable analogue mode in the decoder. You can solder the cables at bottomside to the corresponding pins. For damage caused by improper treatment, we assume no liability. Connection at LGB OnBoard Big Connection at LGB OnBoard small Connection at LGB 55034 Connection diagram for LGB 55034….
To protect against irritations regarding the correct connection of the gearbox to our electronics, here is a description about. Important supplement! The indicated cable colors may differ from the print on the gearbox! On some locomotives the gearboxes are installed 180 ° rotated. With Piko are completely different colors and assignments. Digital, the polarity on the track has an effect, but this can be changed by CV. So if you…
Ergänzung zur Firmware Version V3.5 Pulse simulation: The control of the pulse simulation has been fundamentally changed. The following CV’s now have the function described: CV 195 = Steam chuff per wheel rotation CV 196 = Clock setting on slow speed CV 197 = Clock setting on high speed You have following choices in CV 195: 1 = 4 Steam chuffs per wheel rotation 2 = 2 Steam chuffs per…
You ask us consistently, what is the best back-fitting for a loco. Remove the existing electronic completely, partial or remain it? Sadly we can’t give a global answer, while there exists to many versions. Although we will show you here an overview, which back-fitting type is the right one. First of all you have to check your available place in your loco. You don’t need a useful interface, when…
While we don’t know what technology is used, we can not give common hints for it. Maybe you can find a proper back-fitting plan for a special loco in our examples. 1.) Engraved “D” on bottom side of gear is marking a 4-pin-gear. Here are all 4 contacts for digitalization existent. Without “D” you have to rebuild. 2.) Old Interface for 6 pol. interface cable. The decoder will be…
Conversion of a 3-lead LGB gear box to digital operation Old LGB gear boxes feature 3 leads, one pin (marked WS) is connected to track power and one of the two motor connectors. For digital operation the motor connector must be separated from this pin. The pictures show a simple conversion for digital operation: open the gear box and remove the electric motor (note the direction) shorten the motor contact…
Before digitalization of a loco you have to select the right decoder. Manufacturer’s data of current draw are not available in most cases or it is not reasonably usable. So it make’s sense to build a small measuring equipment for each loco, to measure the current. You need: (see picture) A LGB-transformer with apr. 22V(alt. a power supply) A meter for current measurement (Multimeter or analog instrument) . A…
To control a switch automatically with a 1 channel switch decoder, following circuit can be used. You will need 2 track contacts, a 1 channel switch decoder and locomotives with mounted magnet on the gear side. Here is a diagram of how everything should be connected: In this combination, the switch is automatically moved into the correct position before leaving the reverse loop. Note the polarity of the contact…
