How to use this manual
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for safe and correct
assembly of the kit and fitting of the ready-built module, and operation.
Before you start, we advise you to read the whole manual, particularly
the chapter on safety instructions and the FAQ chapter. You will then
know where to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot
of effort to correct.
Keep this manual safely so that you can solve problems in the future. If
you pass the kit or the ready-built module on to another person, please
pass on the manual with it.
Intended use
The kit or the ready-built module can be assembled and operated with
a model railway to control a signal using this manual. It has been
specially developed to control a Maerklin* Hobby light signal.
Any other use is inappropriate and invalidates any guarantees.
The kit and the ready-built module should not be assembled or fitted by
children under the age of 14.
Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual
are mandatory for the user.

Safety instructions
Mechanical hazards
Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch
out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB.
Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use
damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones.
Electrical hazards
§Touching powered, live components,
§touching conducting components which are live due to malfunction,
§short circuits,
§connecting the circuit to another voltage than specified,
§impermissibly high humidity,
§condensation build up
can cause serious injury due to electrical shock. Take the following
precautions to prevent this danger:
§Never perform wiring on a powered module.
§Assembling and mounting the kit should only be done in closed,
clean, dry rooms. Beware of humidity.
§Only use low power for this module as described in this manual and
only use certified transformers.
§Connect transformers and soldering irons only in approved mains
sockets installed by an authorised electrician.
§Observe cable diameter requirements.
§After condensation build up, allow a minimum of 2 hours for
dispersion.
§Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the
ready-built module.

Fire risk
Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire,
which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation.
Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually
needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable
materials. Use a suitable soldering iron stand. Never leave a hot
soldering iron or station unattended.
Thermal danger
A hot soldering iron or liquid solder accidentally touching your skin can
cause skin burns. As a precaution:
§use a heat-resistant mat during soldering,
§always put the hot soldering iron in the soldering iron stand,
§point the soldering iron tip carefully when soldering, and
§remove liquid solder with a thick wet rag or wet sponge from the
soldering tip.
Dangerous environments
A working area that is too small or cramped is unsuitable and can cause
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 kit or the ready-built 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.

EMC declaration
This product is developed and tested in accordance with the European
standards EN 55014-1 and EN 61000-6-3 and meets the EC - directive
2004/108/EG and legal requirements.
To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance in operation you must take
the following precautions:
§Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installed
by an authorised electrician.
§Make no changes to the original parts and accurately follow the
instructions, circuit diagram and PCB layut included with this
manual.
§Use only original spare parts if you have to repair the kit or the
ready-built module.

Operation overview
The light signal switch is developed to control a Maerklin* Hobby-light
signal. Using it with Viessmann*-signal kits is possible as well. The
Viessmann*-signal kits have to be modified, you can order the manual
from us or you can download it from our homepage.
The light signal switch has to be connected between the light signal and
an external change-over switch which switches between the two signals
("red" and "green"). Using a switching decoder to switch between the
two signals is possible as well. Push-button switches as used e.g. to
switch points are not suitabe to switch between signals. In exactly the
same way as in real life, the light signal switch causes the LED switched
off to fade slowly and the LED switched on to brighten slowly.

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 so the heat of the soldering iron is applied to the solder point
effectively.
§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.
§Observe correct polarity orientation of semi-conductors, LEDs
electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits before soldering and
ensure that the solder time does not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise
components can be damaged.
§Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the part
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.
§Do not move the component for about 5 seconds after soldering.
§To make a good soldering joint you must 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.
§Cut the wires after soldering directly above the PCB solder side with
a side cutter.
