- We recommend to use MTS Loco
Decoder III
2
(LGB 55027) whose
plug directly fits into the socket
interface.
Note:
We recommend to have the decoder
mounted by the LGB factory service
station. For further information,
please contact your authorized LGB
re tailer or (see Authorized Service).
Notes for do-it-yourself assembly:
- Pull off the bridge from the decoder
interface.
- Plug the decoder onto the pins of
the PCB. The plug of the decoder
cable only fits the PCB pins when
aligned correctly.
- When a decoder is integrated in
the locomotive, the power control
switch (mode switch) is obsolete.
Notes for disassembly:
- If you wish to remove the decoder,
the bridge must be remounted onto
the DCC interface.
- Otherwise, the loco does not work.
Analog mode
Note:
Model 23842 with MTS Onboard De -
coder can also be operated on tradi-
tional analog systems without mak-
ing any alterations, provided that this
function has not been changed in the
CV settings.
Sound in analog mode
(Model 2x842)
Note:
To hear the standing sounds in ana-
log mode, a low voltage (approx. 6.5
volts) must be maintained on the
tracks. Turn the throttle to a low set-
ting so that the loco does not yet
start, but you can hear the sounds.
To obtain standing sounds in analog
operating mode, while the throttle is
turned off, and when reversing the
locomotive's direction, the Standing
Sounds Power Supply Unit2 must be
installed. For questions regarding the
installation, please contact your au -
tho rized retailer.
Bell and whistle:
- The bell and whistle can be trig-
gered using the Sound Trigger
Magnet.

- The Sound Trigger Magnet
between the ties of most LGB track
sections.
- When the Sound Trigger Magnet
is fitted on the left in direction of
travel, the bell will be rung.
- If fitted on the right, the whistle
will be blown.
Electronic sound
(Model 2x842)
Sound in digital mode
The digital electronic sound system
imitates the sound of the original
steam locomotive. The volume con-
trol is fitted underneath the water
box cover (Fig. 4).
The steam sounds are synchronized
with the wheel revolutions. The sou -
nd is factory- set to 2 chuffs per rev-
olution. If you prefer the typical 4
chu ffs per revolution, reprogram bit
7 in CV54 to "64"
4
.
In addition to the steam chuffs, you
hear the sounds of the cylinders.
Note:
All sound features described below
also can be controlled directly with
the LGB Multi-Train System.
Bell and whistle:
- The whistle is blown, when the
locomotive is started.
- Bell and whistle can also be oper-
ated by the LGB Sound Trigger
Magnet
