DCC and ELECTRONIC COMPONENT HANDLING
This
Signal Kit contains delicate electrics
/ electronic components. Please read the installation instructions very
carefully Several times.
If
in any doubt please contact your Local Electronics Expert.
Ensure
that you use the correct power supply and that you use the correct polarity
during installation.
Incorrect
installation will cause instant failure and possible short circuiting.
SOME WIRES
STATIC
ELECTRICITY
Static
electricity refers to the build up of electric charge
on the surface of objects. The static charges remain on an object until they
either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a
discharge.
Although
charge exchange can happen whenever any two surfaces come into contact and
separate, a static charge will only remain when at least one of the surfaces
has a high resistance to electrical flow (an electrical insulator).
The
effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because we can see,
feel and even hear the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought
close to a large electrical conductor (for example a path to
ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive
or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static 'shock' is caused by the
neutralization of charge.
Static electricity can reside in
people, clothing or tools etc.
The static
electricity must be discharged to EARTH before handling any delicate electronic
components or computer components.
Use of
Magnetic tools OR METAL OBJECTS should be avoided at all times.

PHYSICAL HANDLING
The following may seem basic common sense But please
read the full document
In the main
the wire is a very thin single strand of wire (Not a flexible multi-strand
wire) and is coated with a fine coloured lacquer that is not flexible like some
larger wires that are multi-core wires that have flexible plastic coatings.
Extreme care must be taken
when handling these wires They must NOT be bent at all, they must NOT be
twisted in any way. They must NOT be
folded in any way, because these wires are very delicate. These electronic
product wires are usually supplied with delicate electronic components with a
small coil of fine lacquered insulated wire.
This is to ensure that the
wires do not BREAK, FRACTURE, BEND SHARPLY at any
angle, TWIST in any direction and that the INSULATION DOES NOT CRACK to cause
possible short circuits.
Metal tools of any form must
NOT be used to handle these wires as the hard material tools may damage the
delicate lacquered insulation. Any
MAGNETIC tools must NOT be used as they may cause a pulse of STATIC Electricity also
clothing or body STATIC ELECTRICITY can cause short circuits in electronic
components and circuits.
Please also
follow all MAGNETIC OR ANTI-STATIC PRECAUCTIONS.

THE OPERATIVE WORD IS TO UNCOIL - REMEMBER NOT TO PULL at the ends.
IF YOU PULL AT THE WIRE ENDS YOU WILL CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE

To gently UNCOIL the wire use a thin WOODEN
implement
(e.g.
The end of a fine WOODEN model paint brush or a WOODEN Cocktail stick.)
Slowly and gently UNCOIL the delicate wire making
