1. Gett ng started
How to use this manual
Th s manual g ves step-by-step nstruct ons for safe and correct
assembly of the k t and f tt ng and connect ng of the ready-bu lt
module, and operat on. Before you start, we adv se you to read the
whole manual, part cularly the chapter on safety nstruct ons and the
checkl st for trouble shoot ng. You w ll then know where to take care
and how to prevent m stakes wh ch take a lot of effort to correct.
Keep th s manual safely so that you can solve problems n the future. If
you pass the k t or the ready-bu lt module on to another person, please
pass on the manual w th t.
Intended use
The adapter s des gned to be operated accord ng to the nstruct ons n
th s manual n d g tal model ra lroad veh cles. Any other use s
nappropr ate and nval dates any guarantees.
The adapter should not be assembled or mounted by ch ldren under the
age of 14.
Read ng, understand ng and follow ng the nstruct ons n th s manual
are mandatory for the user.
Checking the package contents
Please make sure that your package conta ns:
one adapter PCB
one 22-pole plug connector for use as MTC- nterface
th s manual

2. Safety nstruct ons
Mechanical hazards
Cut w res can have sharp ends and can cause ser ous njur es. Watch
out for sharp edges when you p ck up the PCB.
V s bly damaged parts can cause unpred ctable danger. Do not use
damaged parts: recycle and replace them w th new ones.
Electrical hazards
Touch ng powered, l ve components,
touch ng conduct ng components wh ch are l ve due to malfunct on,
short c rcu ts and connect ng the c rcu t to another voltage than
spec f ed,
mperm ss bly h gh hum d ty and condensat on bu ld up
can cause ser ous njury due to electr cal shock. Take the follow ng
precaut ons to prevent th s danger:
Never perform w r ng on a powered module.
Assembl ng and mount ng the k t should only be done n closed,
clean, dry rooms. Beware of hum d ty.
Only use low power for th s module as descr bed n th s manual and
only use cert f ed transformers.
Connect transformers and solder ng rons only n approved ma ns
sockets nstalled by an author sed electr c an.
Observe cable d ameter requ rements.
After condensat on bu ld up, allow a m n mum of 2 hours for
d spers on.
Use only or g nal spare parts f you have to repa r the k t or the
ready-bu lt module.

Fire risk
Touch ng flammable mater al w th a hot solder ng ron can cause f re,
wh ch can result n njury or death through burns or suffocat on.
Connect your solder ng ron or solder ng stat on only when actually
needed. Always keep the solder ng ron away from nflammable
mater als. Use a su table solder ng ron stand. Never leave a hot
solder ng ron or stat on unattended.
Thermal danger
A hot solder ng ron or l qu d solder acc dentally touch ng your sk n can
cause sk n burns. As a precaut on:
use a heat-res stant mat dur ng solder ng,
always put the hot solder ng ron n the solder ng ron stand,
po nt the solder ng ron t p carefully when solder ng, and
remove l qu d solder w th a th ck wet rag or wet sponge from the
solder ng t p.
Dangerous en ironments
A work ng area that s too small or cramped s unsu table and can cause
acc dents, f res and njury. Prevent th s by work ng n a clean, dry room
w th enough freedom of movement.
Other dangers
Ch ldren can cause any of the acc dents ment oned above because they
are nattent ve and not respons ble enough. Ch ldren under the age of
14 should not be allowed to work w th th s k t or the ready-bu lt
module.
Caution:
L ttle ch ldren can swallow small components w th sharp edges, w th
fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small ch ldren.

In schools, tra n ng centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be
superv sed by qual f ed personnel.
In ndustr al nst tut ons, health and safety regulat ons apply ng to
electron c work must be adhered to.
3. Safe and correct solder ng
Caution:
Incorrect solder ng can cause dangers through f res and heat. Avo d
these dangers by read ng and follow ng the d rect ons g ven n the
chapter Safety instructions.
Use a small solder ng ron w th max. 30 Watt or a regulated
solder ng ron.
Only use electron c t n solder w th flux.
When solder ng electron c c rcu ts never use solder ng-water or
solder ng grease. They conta n ac ds that can corrode components
and copper tracks.
Insert the component connect ng p ns nto the PCB´s holes as far as
poss ble w thout force. The components should be close to the
PCB`s surface.
Observe correct polar ty or entat on of the parts before solder ng.
Solder qu ckly: hold ng the ron on the jo nts longer than necessary
can destroy components and can damage copper tracks or solder ng
eyes.
Apply the solder ng t p to the solder ng spot n such a way that the
part and the solder ng eye are heated at the same t me.
S multaneously add solder (not too much). As soon as the solder
becomes l qu d take t away. Hold the solder ng t p at the spot for a
few seconds so that the solder flows nto the jo nt, then remove the
solder ng ron.

Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after solder ng.
To make a good solder ng jo nt you must use a clean and unox d sed
solder ng t p. Clean the solder ng t p w th a damp p ece of cloth, a
damp sponge or a p ece of s l con cloth.
Cut the w res after solder ng d rectly above the solder ng jo nt w th a
s de cutter.
After plac ng the parts, please double check for correct polar ty.
Check the PCB tracks for solder br dges and short c rcu ts created by
acc dent. Th s would cause faulty operat on or, n the worst case,
damage. You can remove excess solder by putt ng a clean solder ng
t p on the spot. The solder w ll become l qu d aga n and flow from
the solder ng spot to the solder ng t p.

4. Operat on overv ew
The adapter s used to upgrade veh cles w th a PluX or MTC nterface
nterface. There s a 22-pole socket soldered on to the adapter PCB
wh ch s used to nsert the plug connector of the decoder-s ded PluX
nterface. In order to connect the adapter to the the decoder-s ded MTC
nterface, the extra 22-pole plug connector has to be nserted nto the
adapter PCB.
