'potential-free'), connect the other pole of the bulbs to the connection U+ of the GOLD maxi (which
of the U+ connections is irrelevant). If you do this, the bulbs will shine somewhat brighter and the
direction-dependent lighting will also function in DC operation. The variant you choose depends on
the design of the locomotive.
When connecting LEDs, make sure that the connection U+ is the 'positive pole' (anode side of the
LED) and that the function output is the 'minus pole' (cathode side of the LED). The voltage of the
function output is 16 V. Do not forget the required voltage multiplier.
If your locomotive offers additional functions, connect function outputs C to H accordingly (Abb. 2,
p. 5).
3 Testing the installation
Place the locomotive on the programming track (without ist housing) and read the address. The
decoder is programmed ex-works to the address 03. If you have connected the decoder correctly
thus far, you should now be able to read the address. If you are not able to do so, it is possible that
you have made a mistake when connecting the cables. Do not subject the locomotive to full running
track power until you obtain the correct "03" address read-out. Check the cable connections and
change them as required. You should now be able to send your locomotive on ist first test run on
your layout.
