Authorized Service - LGB 491 Instructions De Service

Hints:
- The plug of the decoder fits only in
one direction onto the pins on the
loco circuit board.
- If the decoder is removed, the orig-
inal plug must be replaced on the
DCC interface. Otherwise, the loco
will not work.
- The power control switch does not
work when a decoder is installed.
Tender:
The tender has a direct decoder
interface. For Multi-Train System
operation, it can be equipped with an
LGB MTS Decoder (LGB 55021). The
MTS Decoder Interface Cable (LGB
55026) is not required.
Hint: If this model is equipped with a
decoder, the digital/analog DIP
switches on the tender circuit board
must be set to OFF. The DIP switches
should remain in this setting, even if
the model is used on an analog lay-
out.
Attention! We strongly recommend
decoder installation by an LGB serv-
ice station. For more information,
contact your authorized LGB retailer
or an LGB service station (see

Authorized Service).

When loco and tender are equipped
with decoders, you can control the
functions remotely. Press the light-
ing button ("9" with remotes) to turn
the lights on or off. Press the func-
tion buttons to control the following
functions:
1: Whistle
2: Bell
With a Loco Remote or Universal
Remote, press the numbered loco
function buttons. For example, to
trigger the bell, press button "2" on
the Loco Remote or Universal
Remote.
