In the installation guide of the Märklin Delta decoder 66032 it is mentioned, that "the headlight outputs can be turned on and off with the
digital function "Function" after the appropriate conversion has been carried out for this purpose." As Märklin did not mention, how to do
this, here you will find the description for the change. After this change you will have a full replacement for the older C80 decoder which
is not produced any longer. In addition it is shown how you can convert the additional function to be controlled via F1.
Please note what Märklin is announcing to this theme: If you do any changes to the
electronic equipment of your locomotive by your own, any warranty is void, so it´s at
your own risk. And you cannot get any spare parts from Märklin (only complete new
decoders). Same is with me, I did the best to avoid any "bugs", but I cannot made
liable for any damage occurring if you follow this text.
1. Basics
The Delta decoder 66032 bases on the Motorola 2 Format developed by Märklin. This means for instance setting a loco on the tracks
after a longer period of time, the decoder will identify the correct direction selected with the Control Unit. The central chip is the 701.43A.
Further features like the functions F2 ... F4 cannot be implemented with this decoder, as far as I know.
The additional function output (for Telex) is switched by repeated change of driving direction (2 times on then 2 times off, and so on). It
may be converted so that it is controlled by F1. This works only with Digital. With AC and Delta you cannot control the additional function
after the conversion.
This is the first Delta decoder with 8 DIP switches for the address, so it can use the full address space of 80 addresses like a Digital
decoder.
Sorry for the schematic being in German, "an br, wenn nicht massefrei !" means "this cable must be connected to brown if not isolated
from chassis !". The maximum load for the outputs are:
Engine 1000 mA
Lights 200 mA
Function 250 mA
Sum of all outputs 1200 mA
3. The change
The layout you can see in the next two images, I removed the plastic case around the decoder:
