7.2 Changing an Address:
If you have 2 locomotives with the same address,
you can change the address for one locomotive
as follows:
Unplug the transformer. Set the address switches
to the desired address. Press the button „Change
Direction" Hold this button pressed down while
the lens on the IR Control is pointed at shows to
the receiver, and plug the transformer back into
the wall outlet.
Release the button as soon the light comes on.
The programming procedure is displayed when
the light comes on or blinks. As soon as the light
goes out, the programming is turned off. The loco-
motive can now be run with the new address.
8. Locomotive Functions
• Recognition of the mode of operation: automatic.
• Addresses that can be set: 1 - 255
• Address set at the factory: 78
• Headlights for the locomotive. They can be
turned on and off in digital operation.
• ABV — Adjustable acceleration/braking delay.
• Adjustable maximum speed.
• Setting the locomotive parameters (address, ac-
celeration/braking delay, maximum speed): with
the Control Unit, Mobile Station or Central Station.
8.1 Function Switch
The IR Controller can activate 5 digital functions
on the locomotives.
Controllable Functions:
ABV, off
8.2 Controlling the Locomotive
The control knob for operating locomotives
always controls only the locomotive that has just
been selected with the address selector switch.
All other locomotives or powered rail cars con-
tinue to run at the speed last set for them.
Important: When a new address is selected and
the control knob is already set at a speed position
(any speed position), the locomotive just selected
will immediately run at this speed. You must select
this locomotive address a second time, before you
= ^
Function 4
can control the locomotive.
After you switch to a new address, it takes a
moment before the newly selected locomotive
can actually be controlled. This feature makes
it possible for you to skip over other addresses
when switching to a new address, without the
locomotives assigned to these addresses being
affected by the current setting for the control
knob. Control of the locomotive is assumed with
the last settings in use. The locomotive now
reacts to the controller.
9. Information about Operating the Train
Running 2 Trains
Only one switched mode power pack and one
Base Station may be used.
The switched mode power pack included with
the starter set provides power sufficient for a
maximum of 2 trains.
The locomotive to be controlled can be selected
with the switch on the controller (see Sections 7
and 8).
10. Trouble Running the Train
• If the train does not run, check to make sure
that the connections have been done as shown
in Section 6.
• Check to make sure that the batteries in the
IR Controller have been installed correctly or
whether they are run down.
• Check to see if there a short circuit or an
overload on the layout or if a locomotive or
car is derailed. Correct the short circuit or the
overload by reducing the number of power
consumers (locomotives, lighted cars, etc.), and
set the derailed locomotive or car back on the
rails.
• If the locomotive is damaged, do not use it any
more. If a car becomes damaged, remove this
car from the train and do not use it anymore.
11. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on
the train and remove this hair or dirt from the
axles with the help of a pair or tweezers so that
the train runs correctly.
• The train can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Additional maintenance information can be
found in Section 15.
