Motorola LD-W-1 manual Operation overview

LD-G-1 / LD-W-1 English

Operation overview

The decoder is designed for operation in Motorola I or II format and can be adjusted to one of 255 adresses. It evaluates the digital data sent by the central unit to its address and transmitts it to the locomotive.

Function speed level and direction of motion

The speed level set at the central unit and the change-direction command are transmitted to the locomotive by the decoder. At a direction change the existing direction of travel is not saved, so the locomotive continues in Motorola I format in its preferred direction after the decoder has been off for some time.

Velocity characteristics

Two velocity characteristics are available. By attaching a solder bridge the second velocity characteristic can be fixed. Compared to the set standard velocity characteristic this characteristic allows a higher maximum speed, however the shunting gear is no longer available.

Acceleration and brake delay

Three variants of acceleration and brake delay are available: fast, medium and slow. By attaching solder bridges one of the three variants can be fixed.

Function lighting

The lighting can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel from the central unit via the function "function". In addition, another optional accessory can be switched on and off according to the direction of travel.

Auxiliary functions in Motorola II format

The auxiliary functions F1 to F4 can be switched from the central unit. They are available to control optional accessories (e.g. smoke generator, cab lighting, noise module).

Shunting gear

If the standard velocity characteristic is set, the auxiliary function F4 allows you to switch into the shunting gear mode. In the shunting gear
