Description

LoDi operator 4-WD-DC

DC voltage decoder for the SC bus for connection to the LoDi Shift Commander.

You have 8 channels available, each with a 1 ampere, the total sum of the connected channels must not exceed the sum of 2 A.

You can connect all common motor switch drives, magnetic coil drives, lamps or LEDs to the LoDi operator 4-WD-DC.

The LoDi-operator 4-WD-DC is also suitable for other consumers that require DC voltage, such as motors, geared motors and specially designed for LEDs.

Each output is separately protected against overload.

Easily configurable via LoDi-ProgrammerFX.

The permitted input voltage range is between 12 volts and 16 volts.

1. The LoDi operator 4-WD-DC and its connections

The LoDi operator 4-WD-dC is a switching decoder that is connected to the LoDi shift commander. It can be operated on the slow and fast bus.

To the connections on the
LoDi operator 4-WD-DC

(1) Here you can connect loads such as switches, lamps, etc., you can find more information in the connection examples.
(2) The AC/DC model railway transformer is connected here.
IMPORTANT!!! Please only use authorized model railway transformers!
(3) The SC bus from the LoDi Shift Commander is connected to the SC OUT and SC IN sockets. More information in the section Connection to the SC-BUS

2. LEDs on LoDi operator 4-WD-DC

The LoDi operator 4-WD-DC has two LEDs that are intended to help you identify the status of the device and understand faults more quickly.

(1) This LED lights up when you connect the transformer voltage to the AC/DC socket
(2) The Bus LED lights up as soon as the SC-BUS is plugged in from the LoDi-Shift-Commander and this is supplied with power.

3. Connection of the LoDi operator 4-WD-DC to the SC-BUS

The LoDi operator 4-WD-DC is connected to the SC bus coming from the LoDi shift commander.

You can see this in the first connection picture.

In this picture you can see the LoDi Shift Commander together with the decoder connected to it, here it is

LoDi operator 4-WD-DC.

The decoder is connected to the SC bus Out 1.

There are 96 outputs available here.

At the LoDi-Operator 4-WD-DC you can record the degrees as you need them at your system. It is not relevant here whether you first connect a LoDi operator 4-WD-AC or a LoDi operator 4-WD-DC.

The LoDi Shift Commander is able to recognize the connected decoders.

You can then program the assignment using our LoDi-ProgrammerFX tool .

The bus must be terminated at the last operator.

This means that you always have to insert the termination plug, called the bus terminator, into the last module.

In this example you can now see how you can add or append the operators one after the other.

It is important that you make sure that you connect the network cables correctly.

That means, for example, from in to out, as you can see in the picture.

On the last sample picture you can see a maxed out SC bus 1 and 2. The order of the modules is completely irrelevant.

You should only make sure that the LoDi Light controller is connected to bus 2.

It is important that you integrate a new LoDi SC booster into the system after every 16th module.

The bus length or the number of modules can be easily calculated.

There are 96 channels available on bus 1.

For example, you could connect 12 LoDi operators 4-WD-DC or AC here, since each module requires 8 channels.

You have 384 channels available on the slow bus. So that would be 48 LoDi operators 4-WD-AC or DC, LoDi light controller 4-C-LED or the LoDi operator 16-SD-FL .

You can see that you can work very dynamically with our system.

4. Connection of the LoDi operator 4-WD-DC to the model railway transformer

The LoDi operator 4-WD-DC has 4 connection terminals.

These do not both have to be connected to the transformer, they are used to redistribute the current.

You can start the cable with one decoder and continue to distribute it to the next.

After 15 decoders, a new energy feed should take place.

This simplifies the cabling of the system.

ATTENTION do not choose cables under 0.75mm2!

Please pay attention to the correct polarity of the power pack!
