User Manual
Introduction
Dear customer, we strongly recommend that you read these manuals and the warning notes thoroughly before installing and operating your device. The device is not a toy (15+).
NOTE: Make sure that the outputs are set to appropriate value before hooking up any other device. We can’t be responsible For any damage if this is disregarded.
General information
We recommend studying this manual thoroughly before installing and operating your new device. Place the decoder in a protected location. The unit must not be exposed to moisture.
NOTE: Some functions are only available with the latest firmware. Please make sure that your device is programmed with the latest firmware.

Hook-Up
Install your device in compliance with the connecting diagrams in this manual. The device is protected against shorts and excessive loads. However, in case of a connection error e.g. a short this safety feature can’t work and the device will be destroyed subsequently.
Make sure that there is no short circuit caused by the mounting screws or metal.
Connectors
Speed: 1-255 steps (255 = max. voltage)
Wait time: 2 sek – 4 min.
Drive time: 1 – 127 sec. If 0 (min) then endless if contact is pressed Middle stop is by 50% if activated.
Pendula control via time
The driving and stopping times as well as the speed is about the right sides controller set (POTI). Alternatively, a red switch to be activated on an intermediate stop half way.
Pendula control via contact
To do this, set a travel time of 0 (min). From then the APA only „listens“ to the contacts as a limitation. Alternatively, an intermediate stop can be activated, triggered by K3. This does not have to be in the middle, but can be arbitrarily distributed between the two endpoints. Either reed switches can be used as contact like our Art No-0051 or via contact track separation. Note the coasting times! 
Pendula control via digital
When connecting a digital voltage to the APA there is the possibility of the delay times set for slow starting and braking. There is also the possibility of using the turnout command switching the control on and off and with it that interrupt or start commuting. Of it is also possible when using our 30Z digital center with model railroad time a small one activate automation. You can do this at certain modest rain times (e.g. 9 am and 12 o’clock off) activate the control. Of the model railway factor can be set at our 30Z.
The further connection corresponds to the previous pictures. In the appendix you will find the CV list for configuration.
The module can handle DCC an Motorola

Product description
The mien analog pendulum automatic (APA) a universally applicable automatic shuttle or any application such as locomotive control cable cars or fair controls. The special thing about ours in addition to the usual control system, APA ist hat not only the waiting time, but also the travel time and even set the speed on the APA can be. That simplifies the structure enormously. In addition to the pure time controlled, it is of course, control via contacts s also possible to be completed. Furthermore a stopover can be made to be activated. Of course, the moves are very gentle started and braked, these times are even adjustable via our PC programmer 0024. With digital control, the APA activated and deactivated via a digital switch command. The train then drives still to the terminus and stops there the pendulum control until it is released.
Further is it possible in digital to use a time control to create a schedule. To do this, our digital command station 30Z is needed.

Thanks to many setting options, the handling is child’s play. It can even do without any wiring can only be oscillated over time. The voltage applied also plays only one role minor role as the speed can be set directly on the pendulum control.
In digital, the LED is activate when deactivated pendulum control. If the LED flashes it is on short circuit before. To do this, the APA must be de-energized be asked.
