1. Gett ng started
The nstruct ons w ll help you step by step w th the safe and proper assembly of the k t and
nstallat on and use of your s88 feedback module. Before you start to assemble the k t or put
the feedback module nto operat on, read th s manual completely, espec ally the safety
nstruct ons and the sect on on poss ble errors and the r el m nat on. You w ll then know what
you have to pay attent on to and thus avo d errors that somet mes can only be rect f ed w th a
lot of effort.
Keep the nstruct ons n a safe place so that you can restore funct onal ty later n the event of
any malfunct ons. If you pass the feedback module on to another person, also g ve the
nstruct ons w th t.
1.1. Contents of the package
1 one k t S88-3 ( tem no. 44-01305-01), conta n ng the components l sted n the parts l st
(see sect on 3.4.) and one PCB or
1 ready-bu lt and tested c rcu t board S88-3 ( tem no. 44-01306-01) or
1 s88 feedback module S88-3 n hous ng ( tem no. 44-01307-01)
1 patch cable (RJ 45)
1.2. Accessor es
To assemble the kit you will need
a solder ng ron w th temperature control and a th n t p and a depos t stand or a controlled
solder ng stat on
a scraper, rag or sponge
a heat-res stant pad
a small pa r of s de cutters and w re str ppers
tweezers and flat-nose pl ers f necessary
electron c solder (preferably 0.5 to 0.8 mm d ameter)
Connection cables
The use of stranded w re s recommended for mak ng the connect ons. Stranded w res cons st
of several th n nd v dual w res and are therefore more flex ble than r g d w res w th the same
copper cross-sect on. Recommended cross-sect ons:
Connect ons to the tracks: > 0.25 mm²
Connection to devices with 6-pole s88 interface
The feedback module has an add t onal connect on for a 6-core cable for the connect on of
upstream feedback modules or d g tal dev ces (OUT connect on), wh ch can be used as an
alternat ve to the RJ 45 connect on. If convent onal feedback modules w th a 6-pole nterface
are to be connected downstream (IN connect on), an S88-A adapter (see sect on 2.3.) s
requ red.

1.3. Intended use
The s88 feedback module s ntended for use n model ra lway layouts as spec f ed n the
nstruct ons. Any other use s not n accordance w th the ntended use and w ll result n the
loss of the warranty cla m. Intended use also ncludes read ng, understand ng and follow ng all
parts of the nstruct ons. The s88 feedback module s not ntended to be used by ch ldren
under the age of 14.
1.4. Safety nstruct ons
Note:
The s88 feedback module conta ns ntegrated c rcu ts (ICs). These are sens t ve to
electrostat c charg ng. Therefore, do not touch these components unt l you have
"d scharged" yourself. For th s purpose, e.g. a gr p on a rad ator s suff c ent.
Improper use and non-observance of the nstruct ons can lead to ncalculable hazards. Prevent
these dangers by carry ng out the follow ng measures:
Only use the s88 feedback module n closed, clean and dry rooms. Avo d mo sture and
splash water n the env ronment. After condensat on has formed, wa t two hours for
accl mat sat on before use.
D sconnect the module from the power supply before carry ng out w r ng work.
Supply the s88 feedback module only w th extra-low voltage as spec f ed n the techn cal
data. Use only tested and approved transformers.
Only plug the ma ns plugs of transformers nto properly nstalled and fused earthed sockets.
When mak ng electr cal connect ons, ensure that the cable cross-sect on s suff c ent.
Heat ng of the s88 feedback module dur ng operat on s normal and harmless.
Do not expose the s88 feedback module to h gh amb ent temperatures or d rect sunl ght.
Observe the nformat on on the max mum operat ng temperature n the techn cal data.
Regularly check the operat onal safety of the s88 feedback module, e.g. for damage to the
connect on cables.
If you not ce damage or f malfunct ons occur, d sconnect the connect on to the power
supply mmed ately. Send the s88 feedback module n for nspect on.
1.5. Care
Do not use any clean ng agents to clean the s88 feedback module. Only w pe the module dry.
D sconnect the module from the power supply before clean ng.

2. Operat on overv ew
The S88-3 feedback module s compat ble w th all components that work w th the s88 bus
developed by the Märkl n** company. It can read n 16 ground contacts.
The S88-3 feedback module s opt m sed for use n centre conductor systems.
2.1. Send ng the feedback n the s88-bus
The nformat on s transm tted from the S88-3 v a the s88-bus to the upstream feedback
module or to the connected d g tal dev ce ( nterface, memory or central un t). The data
transm ss on from one feedback module to the other takes place n the s88 bus accord ng to
the bucket-cha n-memory pr nc ple.
The number of feedback dev ces you can connect to a bus l ne depends on the nterface,
memory or central un t you use. Please observe the spec f cat ons of the dev ce manufacturer.
Addressing the feedback modules
The address ng of the S88-3 feedback module s done automat cally accord ng to ts pos t on
n the bus l ne. It s therefore used n l near bus l nes w th d rect connect on to the nterface,
memory or central un t.

2.2. Connect on to d g tal dev ces and other feedback dev ces
Info: Standard s88-N
The S88-3 has RJ-45 connectors accord ng to the s88-N standard, wh ch regulates
the ass gnment of commerc ally ava lable patch cables for use n s88 feedback systems. Unl ke
the commonly used 6-core connect on cables, patch cables, wh ch are common n computer
networks, are largely sh elded aga nst fore gn electr cal s gnals. By us ng patch cables, the
suscept b l ty to nterference n the s88 bus s therefore cons derably reduced.
Connection to digital devices or upstream s88 feedback modules
The S88-3 feedback module has two outputs connected n parallel and can therefore be
connected e ther v a
the 6-pole nterface and a 6-core cable or
the RJ 45 nterface accord ng to S88-N and a patch cable
to a d g tal dev ce ( nterface, memory or central un t) or an upstream s88 feedback module.
Connection to a downstream s88 feedback module
The nput of the S88-3, v a wh ch the connect on to a downstream s88 feedback module s
establ shed, s des gned as an RJ 45 nterface correspond ng to S88-N. A patch cable s used
for the connect on to a downstream s88 feedback module w th an s88-N nterface at the
output.
If a connect on s to be made to an s88 feedback module w th a 6-p n s88 nterface, an
add t onal S88-A adapter s requ red. Four d fferent vers ons of the adapter are ava lable,
wh ch d ffer n terms of
connect on (socket or plug) and
mount ng d rect on

3. Assembl ng the k t
You can sk p th s sect on f you have purchased a ready-bu lt module or dev ce.
3.1. 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.
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 environments
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.

3.2. Solder ng properly!
Use a solder ng ron w th temperature control, wh ch you set to approx. 300 °C.
Only use electron c solder w th a flux.
Never use solder ng water or solder ng grease when solder ng electron c c rcu ts. These
conta n an ac d that destroys components and conductor paths.
Insert the connect ng w res of the components as far as poss ble through the holes of the
board w thout us ng force. The body of the component should be close above the board.
Make sure that the polar ty of the components s correct before solder ng them.
Solder qu ckly: solder ng for too long can coffe pads or tracks to become detached or even
destroy components.
Hold the solder ng t p on the solder ng po nt n such a way that t touches the component
w re and the pad at the same t me. Add (not too much) solder s multaneously. As soon as
the solder beg ns to flow, remove t from the solder ng po nt. Then wa t a moment for the
solder to flow well before remov ng the solder ng ron from the solder ng jo nt.
Do not move the component you have just soldered for about 5 seconds.
A clean, non-ox d sed (scale-free) solder ng t p s essent al for a perfect solder ng jo nt and
good solder ng. Therefore, before each solder ng, w pe off excess solder and d rt w th a
damp sponge, a th ck damp cloth or a s l cone w per.
After solder ng, cut off the connect ng w res d rectly above the solder ng po nt w th a s de
cutter.
After assembly, always check each c rcu t aga n to ensure that all components are correctly
nserted and polar sed. Also check that no connect ons or tracks have been acc dentally
br dged w th t n. Th s can lead not only to malfunct on, but also to the destruct on of
expens ve components. You can re-l quefy excess solder w th the clean hot solder ng t p.
The solder then flows from the board to the solder ng t p.
Preparation
Put the sorted components n front of you on your workbench.
The separate electron c components have the follow ng spec al features you should take nto
account n assembl ng:
Resistors
Res stors reduce current.
The value of res stors for smaller power rat ngs s nd cated through colour r ngs.
Every colour stands for another f gure. Carbon f lm res stors have 4 colour r ngs.
The 4th r ng (g ven n brackets here) nd cates the tolerance of the res stor (gold
= 5 %).
Value: Colour r ngs:
1 kbrown - black - red (gold)
4,7 kyellow - v olet - red (gold)
100 kbrown - black - yellow (gold)

Resistance networks
In res stance networks there are several res stors ntegrated. The number of the
ntegrated res stors var es depend ng on the des gn. One s de of the res stors s
commonly taken out of the network, the other s de seperately for every res stor.
Ceramic capacitors
Among other th ngs ceram c capac tors are used for f lter ng nterference voltages
or as frequency determ n ng parts. Ceram c capac tors are not polar zed.
Normally they are marked w th a three-d g t number wh ch nd cates the value
coded. The number 104 corresponds to the value 100 nF.
Transistors
Trans stors are current ampl f ers wh ch convert low s gnals nto stronger ones. There are
several types n d fferent package forms ava lable. The type des gnat on s pr nted on the
component.
Trans stors for a low power rat ng (e.g. BC types, BS types) have a package n
form of a half zyl nder (SOT-package). The three p ns of b polar trans stors (e.g.
BC, BD and BT types) are called bas s, em tter and collector (abbrev ated w th the
letters B, E, C n the c rcu t d agram).
Integrated circuits (ICs)
Depend ng on the type, ICs fulf l var ous tasks. The most common hous ng form s
the so-called "DIL"-hous ng, from wh ch 4, 6, 8, 14, 16, 18 or more "legs" (p ns)
are arranged along the long s des.
ICs are sens t ve to damage dur ng solder ng (heat, electrostat c charg ng). For
that reason n the place of the ICs IC sockets are soldered n, n wh ch the ICs are
nserted later.
Terminal strips
Term nal str ps are solder- n screw-type term nals. They prov de a solder-free and safe
connect on of the cables to the c rcu t, wh ch can st ll be separated any t me.
RJ-45 sockets
The RJ-45 sockets are standard zed and are made to connect commerc al Ethernet patch-
cables (or RJ-45 cables).
