RM-DEC-88 and RM-DEC-88-O

Please select the successor modules RM-88-N or the RM-88-N-O.

Features of the RM-DEC-88 and RM-DEC-88-O

For connection to: INTERFACE (up to 31 modules), MEMORY (up to 3 modules), Intellibox/TWIN-CENTER (up to 31 modules) and our High Speed Interface HSI-88 (up to 31 modules).
The feedback modules RM-DEC-88 and RM-DEC-88 Opto can be combined with the s88 feedback modules from Märklin and other manufacturers as required.
Simple and secure connection of switch rails, contact rails, occupancy sensors or reed-contacts by screw clips.
The RM-DEC-88 Opto is equipped with additional opto coupler and therefore extremely protected against interference.
Our feedback modules RM-DEC-88 and RM-DEC-88 Opto from our Digital-Professional-Series can be operated without any difficulty from your digitally controlled model railroad as these decoders are 100% compatible with the feedback module s88.
Suitable installation material can be ordered under: accessories.

Track occupancy detection at two-rail 2-conductor systems: Contrary to the Märklin 3-conductor rail-system can the occupancy of direct-current rails only be reliably realized with electronic circuitry which measure the current at the track section. For this application is it recommended to use our 8-fold feedback module with integrated track occupancy monitor (RM-GB-8-N ). In case you integrated already some occupancy circuits you can combine those with our feedback modules RM-DEC-88-Opto provided that the occupancy circuits have no potential-free outputs. Four of such modules can be connected directly to a feedback module RM-DEC-88-Opto and report the occupancy situation of 16 track sections to the control unit. If the occupancy monitor has potential-free report outputs (e.g. relay contacts) you can apply our feedback module RM-DEC-88.

Feedback from turnouts: If you require the feedback of the actual turnout position to the control unit (or personal computer) you can apply our feedback module RM-DEC-88-Opto. For further information please attend to our description under Feedback of the turnout position.

Extended connection cable: All LDT feedback modules will be supplied ex factory together with a 75 cm interference protected, twisted s88-bus cable.
