GBM-1 English How to use this manual If you have no specialist technical training, this manual gives step-bystep 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.
English GBM-1 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.
GBM-1 English 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.
English GBM-1 EMC declaration This product is developed in accordance with the European standards EN 55014 and EN 50082-1, tested corresponding to the EC - directive 89/336/EWG (EMVG of 09/11/1992, electromagnetic tolerance) and meets legal requirements. To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance you must take the following precautions: § Connect the transformer only to an approved mains socket installed by an authorised electrician.
GBM-1 English Technical specifications Supply voltage Current consumption (without connected loads) Max. current per output Protected to Ambient temperature in use Ambient temperature in storage Comparative humidity allowed Dimensions Weight 12-18 Volt a.c. voltage approx. 15 mA 250 mA IP 00 0 - + 60 °C -10 - + 80 °C max. 85 % approx. 73 x 80 mm approx.
English GBM-1 § a pair of tweezers and long nose pliers (not necessary for the ready-built module), § a lamp or bulb for the functional test. 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.
GBM-1 English § 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. After placing the parts, please double check for correct polarity. Check the PCB tracks for solder bridges and short circuits created by accident. This would cause faulty operation or, in the worst case, damage.
English GBM-1 Capacitors Among other things capacitors are used for filtering interference voltages or as frequency determining parts. Ceramic capacitors are not polarized, for that reason their mounting orientation is of no importance. Normally they are marked with a three-digit number which indicates the value coded. Value 100 nF Number 104 Electrolytic capacitors Electrolytic capacitors are often used to store energy. In contrast to ceramic capacitors they are polarized.
GBM-1 English Light emitting diodes (LEDs) When operated in the forward direction the LEDs light. They are available in several different versions (differing in colour, size, form, luminosity, maximum current, voltage limits). The longer lead of wired LEDs is always the anode (positive pole). Light emitting diodes should always be connected via a series resistor which limits the current and prevents failure. Transistors Transistors are current amplifiers which convert low signals into stronger ones.
English GBM-1 Terminal strips Terminal strips are solder-in screw-type terminals. They provide a solder-free and safe connection of the cables to the circuit, which can still be seperated any time. When several terminal strips have to be mounted side by side, they have to be put together before mounting. Assembling the kit Start the assembly with the resistors. First solder the components on the solder side of the PCB and then cut the excess wires with the side cutter, as short as possible.
GBM-1 ! English Caution: Do not power up the module yet. Check all nuts, pins and connections as well as the mechanical connections for correct assembly. The following points are inapplicable if you have purchased a readybuilt module. § Remove all loose parts, wire ends or drops of solder from the PCB. Remove all sharp wire ends. § Check that solder contacts which are close to each other are not unintentionally connected to each other.
English ! GBM-1 Caution: If a component gets too hot, disconnect the booster and transformer from the mains immediately. Possible short circuit! Check the assembly again. After performing a successful function test, disconnect the track busy indicator from the voltage supply and continue with the connection of the module. Connecting the track busy indicator Follow the connections diagram fig. 3. First connect the inputs E1 to E4 with the mass connection of the four track sections to be monitored.
GBM-1 English FAQ § Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke. ! Disconnect the system from the mains immediately! Possible cause: one or more components are soldered incorrectly. à Perform a visual check. § The lamps connected to the module do not light. Possible cause: The voltage supply has been interrupted. à Check the connection from the module to the transformer. Possible cause: One or more lamps are defective. à Check the lamps by connecting them directly to the power supply.
English GBM-1 Conditions of warranty This product is guaranteed for two years. The warranty includes the correction of faults which can be proved to be due to material failure or factory flaw. As we have no control over the correct and proper assembly and mounting we can only guarantee the quality of the components and the completeness of kits.
