• Factory-installed multiple protocol decoder (DC, DCC, mfx).
• The model is programmed with locomotive address 03 for use with the LGB Multi
Train System (DCC). The locomotive is automatically recognized in operation with mfx.

• The functions can be activated only in parallel. Serial activation of the functions is
not possible (Please note here the instructions for your controller).
Preparation
The rear brake cylinders on the front truck are not mounted on the model in order to
guarantee trouble-free operation of this locomotive. The brake cylinders are included
with the model. If the locomotive is only going to be used for display, then the brake
cylinders can be installed. First, loosen the two screws on the side frame of the truck
and remove the side frames. Then push the cylinders into the correct position. Put the
side frames back on the model.
Mode of Operation Switch
The model has a three-position mode of operation switch on the back wall (Figure 1):
Pos. 0 locomotive stored without current
Pos. 1 everything on
Pos. 2 same as Pos. 1
Connection to the B Unit
On the back of the locomotive is a socket for connecting a B unit with a speaker. Only
the 20582 B unit can be connected here. Connecting older B units or other cars will
lead to damage.
Important during Digital Operation!
If an A unit pointed in the opposite direction (example: the classic A-B-A locomotive
combination) is coupled to this locomotive, then the direction of the second locomoti-
ve must be reprogrammed. Otherwise, the locomotives will run opposite to each other
rather than in the same direction.
Sound
The bell and horn can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (17050) in-
cluded with the locomotive. The activation magnet can be clipped into place between
the ties of most LGB track sections.
The magnet is positioned to the side under the LGB logo cast into the plastic cover.
Place the magnet on one side to activate the horn when the locomotive passes over
this spot. The bell will sound when the magnet is placed on the other side.
General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:
A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order to guarantee operation
for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to current-conducting parts.
