Overview
Package contents
● 1x ZDL-AZL-RS digital decoder
● 1x User’s Manual
Technical data
Operating mode: DCC, MM, SelecTRIX 1, SelecTRIX 2, DC Analog
Max. voltage: 12 V (digital and analog)
LED: Warm white SMD 0402/Warm white side glowing SMD 0602
Power buffer: 600 µF X7R MLCC (6x SMD 1206 100 μF/16V)
Functions
F0 - Directionally controlled headlights
F1 - Interior lighting in the driver’s cabin
Default address: 3 (DCC), 01 (SelecTRIX)
Installation
1. Carefully remove the housing of the locomotive from the chassis.
2. Unscrew 4 screws and remove original analog circuit board.
3. Isolate area marked with red with 7 x 9 mm rectangle of adhesive tape:
4. Install the digital decoder onto the chassis and fasten it with 4 screws.
Prior to installation of the circuit board, make sure the spring-loaded
outputs of the motor are clean, not oxidized and come into the good contact
with pads on the bottom side of the decoder circuit board. Please do not
overtighten the screws.
Important: Please check correct position of the circuit board before
installation! Decoder should be installed with triangle front end mark on the
top side of the circuit board pointing towards the front end of the
locomotive.
Locomotive chassis with installed digital decoder should look like this:
Rear Front
5. Installation of interior lighting of the driver’s cabin:
● Bend the wire outputs of external LED like this:
● Carefully thread the LED into the gap between the main body and the
driver cabin’s box using thin precise tweezers.
Important: Please pick only the wires, and never pick the LED itself with
tweezers! Small SMD 0402 LEDs are very brittle and can be easily damaged
by any metal tool!
6. Pick dangling wires with tweezers and carefully hide them between the
chassis and the locomotive body; make sure they do not touch any moving
parts.
7. Install the housing of the locomotive onto the chassis.
8. Put the locomotive onto the track and perform a test run at the full speed
for not less than 5 minutes in both directions.
Important: In order to avoid light flickering and jerked move of the
locomotive, please make sure the locomotive wheels and tracks are
absolutely clean from the dust and grease! If you still experience mentioned
signs of bad electric contact, consider cleaning and deoxidizing of upper
truck contacts and brass wipers on the chassis.
Warning: Please note that maximal allowed track voltage in both digital and
analog modes should not exceed 12 Volts! Most digital command stations
output higher voltages; please use a digital voltage reducer between the
command station and the track!

Tip: Alternating DCC voltage can be measured correctly only using
multimeter with True RMS feature. Conventional multimeter without this
function will show incorrect value.
Programming
This digital board is based on Doehler & Haass DH05C multiprotocol digital
decoder. Programming samples shown below only for DCC mode. For
detailed information about programming in all available modes (DCC, MM,
SelecTRIX 1 and 2), please refer to the complete programming manual
available on Doehler & Haass official website: https://doehler-haass.de
1. DCC Address: Default DCC address is 3. To change default address,
desired value (1-127) should be written to CV1. Long addresses (0001-
9999) available; please refer to the complete programming manual available
on Doehler & Haass official website.
2. LED Brightness: The brightness of headlights and interior lighting in
driver’s cabin can be adjusted. To change it, see the following table of
decoder settings:
CV Function Range Default
52 Brightness of headlights 0-31 31
54 Brightness of interior lighting 0-31 31
3. Maximal speed: Maximal speed setting is already set to the highest value
in this decoder (CV5 = 127). Default value is 92; it should be restored to 127
after reset of the decoder.
4. Decoder reset: This digital decoder comes already programmed; no
additional adjustments needed. To reset decoder to the factory defaults,
write “8" to CV8. In order to restore settings required for correct functioning
of the power buffer, motor and lights after decoder reset, the following
values should be set once again:
CV5 = 127, CV9 = 0, CV50 = 3, CV51 = 2, CV137 = 2.
ATTENTION: This product is intended only for experienced
users! Please perform all operations with all precautions that
apply to work with ESD sensitive devices. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damage to the train model and/or
digital decoder caused by improper installation or exceeding
the maximum allowed operating voltage.
