mXion KBM Railway Barrier Module
Introduction
Dear customer, we strongly recommend that you read these manuals and the
warning notes thouroughly 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 funktions 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.
NOTE: Please note the CV basic settings in the delivery state.
Connectors
The opposite pole (DEC+) is on the bottom as a soldering contact. This is the opposite pole for the outputs A1 and A2. The opposite pole for the switching contacts K1 and K2 is DEC- (GND). This one is also on the bottom. Alternatively, K1 and K2 can also be used against the digital track.
Product description
The mXion KBM is a universal usable railroad crossings module. The module
stands out especially because of its many adjustment options out. In addition
to 2 servo connection operable) hast he module 2 switching outputs for St.
andrew’s cross lights. with up to 1 A per output as well as 2 switching inputs
for manual triggering and an audio output as well as 4 stored gong sounds of
the most common railroad crossings. A connection for one volume control is
also available, alternatively but this can also be done by programming. The
module is characterized by the fact that one all times such as the waiting
time before the drop
the barriers, yes even one offset of the barriers, yes even one offset of the
barriers flashing and gonglength as well as many other settings ca. As a
special feature, it is even possible to adjustable rocker length and speed.
Another feature is the same changing the gong-off time so that you can choose
the gong and the flashing the outputs even when closed barrier (e.g. USA) can
use. This feature also allows the use on unrestricted level crossings.
Connecting example analog
In analog mode, the module is bel. tension supplied and the control fo the
barriers takes place through the 2 contact inputs. These can also, for
example, parallel to a commercial button in the track with a reed.
Connecting example digital
The contact inputs are only necessary if the module should see the train and
switch automatically. Optionally Reed or light barriers.
Programming lock
To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock.
Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes
automatically also CV 15. With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.
STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 115
Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV
read & write and register-mode.
There will be no extra load for programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported. The
decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to
be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.
NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center
POM to specific decoder adresses.
Programming binary values
Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several
settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For
programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled
function has always the value 0.
EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this, you
must set the value in CV 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.
Programming switch address
Switch addresses consist of 2 values.
For addresses < 256 the value can be directly in the address low. The high
address is 0. If the address is > 255 this is as follows (for example address
2000):
2000 / 256 = 7,81, address high is 7
2000 – (7 x 256) = 208, address low is then 208.
Programm these values into the CVs of manual driving of turn.
Reset functions
The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose. Write with the following values:
- 11 (basic functions)
- 16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
- 33 (function and switch outputs)
