for z scale

Zmodell ZM-ESM-01 Energy Storage Module z.scale.hobo's Price: $49.99 SEE OUR SHIPPING POLICY Dimensions: 16.0 x 7.8 x 4.5mm (0.63" x 0.31" x 0.18") Description: The energy storage module ZM-ESM-01 is a small but useful electronic accessory that can be a good companion to the Zmodell digital decoder ZM05A and also to any other digital decoder** (see important notes below). Background: The quality of electric contact between the tracks and wheelsets can be an issue in Z scale due to the limitations of size and weight of the rolling stock & locomotives. Locomotives can stop on dirty tracks or on any potential problematic sections like turnouts, crossovers, rail joints, etc. The module also has thermal and overvoltage protection. The module contains inductor that provides compatibility with asymmetric braking sections and helps eliminating potential issues in programming mode on certain systems. Energy storage module comes with 10 cm thin flexible cables and it is sealed in thin shrinking tube for additional safety Technical data Input: 30 V max, 100mA Maximum motor current: 0.5A Output: 14.5V max, 400mA Total capacity: 1880 micro Farads Recommended for: Z & N scale trains Package Contents: 1 x ZM-ESM-01 energy storage module with 100mm (4-inch) color cables 2 x Double-sided stickers for mounting 1 x User's Manual Connection to digital decoders is quite simple - red wire should be connected to VS ("Voltage Supply") pad, while black wire – to GND ("Ground") pad. If the digital decoder offers a special pad for connecting positive output of the power storage module (often called "Vcap"), then the red wire should be connected to it. From the manufacturer: "The energy storage module ZM-ESM-01 can be used with the digital decoder Zmodell ZM05A as well as with all decoders from other manufacturers that have a power supply (VS) and ground connection (GND). ZM-ESM-01 significantly improves the running characteristics of locomotives equipped with digital decoders on dirty tracks, switches, rail joints and in all other potentially problematic sections where electrical contact between tracks and wheel sets can be lost. The module can also be used to help prevent flickering of interior lights installed in passenger cars. The latest technology used in this energy storage module allows a very high total electrical capacity to be accommodated in a small size. The ZM-ESM-01 energy storage module includes an inductor that provides compatibility with asymmetric braking sections and helps eliminate potential programming mode issues on certain systems" Important: PRIOR to placing an order, please check if your digital decoder supports connecting capacitors or energy storage devices; please refer to the users manual of your digital decoder or contact your decoder's manufacturer for more information. Important: Operation of this Zmodell ZM-ESM-01 energy storage module on digital systems without a digital decoder is strictly prohibited and done at your own risk! Direct connection to the tracks will destroy the module and void the warranty! STATUS: back-ordered
