accidents, fires and injury. Prevent this by working in a clean, dry room
with enough freedom of movement.
Other dangers
Children can cause any of the accidents mentioned above because they
are inattentive and not responsible enough. Children under the age of
14 should not be allowed to work with this module.
Little children can swallow small components with sharp edges, with
fatal results! Do not allow components to reach small children.
In schools, training centres, clubs and workshops, assembly must be
supervised by qualified personnel.
In industrial institutions, health and safety regulations applying to
electronic work must be adhered to.

Summary of operation
You can adapt the module to different carriage sizes by shortening the
PCB. The following partitioning of the PCB is possible:
§1 piece with a length of 75 mm and 4 LEDs (= complete length)
§1 piece with a length of 60 mm and 3 LEDs
§1 piece with a length of 52 mm and 3 LEDs
§1 piece with a length of 38 mm and 2 LEDs
A LED constant current source is integrated into the module to reduce
brightness fluctuations of the LEDs due to voltage variations.
The module is particularly designed for the use in vehicles compatible
to the Faller* car system, that are run with two accumulator batteries
(e.g. as interior lighting for busses).
When mounted in model railway carriages, a rectifier has to be
connected in series, as the module should be run with direct voltage
only. This applies to model railways that are run with direct voltage (2-
rail systems), too, as in these systems the polarity changes with the
direction of motion. In order to shunt short current interruptions you
can mount an additional electrolytic capacitor.

Safe and correct soldering
Caution:
Incorrect soldering can cause dangers through fires and heat. Avoid
these dangers by reading and following the directions given in the
chapter Safety instructions. If you have had training in soldering you
can skip this chapter.
§Use a small soldering iron with max. 30 Watt. Keep the soldering tip clean
sothe heatof thesoldering ironis appliedto thesolder pointeffectively.
§Only use electronic tin solder with flux.
§When soldering electronic circuits never use soldering-water or
soldering grease. They contain acids that can corrode components
and copper tracks.
§Solder quickly: holding the iron on the joints longer than necessary
can destroy components and can damage copper tracks or
soldering eyes.
§Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the wire
and the soldering eye are heated at the same time. Simultaneously add
solder (not too much). As soon as the solder becomes liquid take it
away. Hold the soldering tip at the spot for a few seconds so that the
solder flows into the joint, then remove the soldering iron.
§The joint should be held still for about 5 seconds after soldering.
§To make a good soldering joint you should use a clean and
unoxidised soldering tip. Clean the soldering tip with a damp piece
of cloth, a damp sponge or a piece of silicon cloth.
§After soldering check (preferably with a magnifying glass) tracks for
accidental solder bridges and short circuits. This would cause faulty
operation or, in the worst case, permanent damage. You can
remove excess solder by putting a clean soldering tip on the spot.
The solder will become liquid again and flow from the soldering
spot to the soldering tip.

Mounting the interior lighting
If necessary you have to adapt the length of the PCB to size of the
carriage first. You can saw through the PCB at the places shown in
fig. 1.
Pay attention not to damage the connection pads, the parts and
the connecting lines on the PCB when sawing.
Next solder the two connecting wires to the connection pads of the
PCB.
Mounting in a vehicle compatible with the Faller* Car System
Follow the connections diagram fig 2. Connect the connecting wires to
the accumulator batteries of the vehicle. Take into account the polarity
of the connections!
Mounting in a model railway vehicle
Caution:
If mounting the interior lighting in a model railway vehicle you have to
mount a rectifier in series, otherwise the module will be damaged. This
applies to model railways, that run with direct voltage (2-rail systems),
as well, as in these systems the polarity changes with the direction of
motion.
Follow the connections diagram fig 3. Connect the rectifier to the
voltage supply and the interior lighting. Take into account the polarity
of the connections!
A LED constant current source is integrated into the module to reduce
brightness fluctuations of the LEDs due to voltage variations.
Additionally you can mount an electrolytic capacitor which supplies the
voltage for running the module when the voltage is interrupted for a
short time (e.g. in areas with bad contacts). Use an electrolytic
capacitor with a capacity of at least 100 µF and a voltage sustaining
capability of at least 25 V. Follow the connections diagram fig. 3 when
mounting the capacitor.
