Installing The Decoder - LGB 55000 Mode D'emploi

button, all locomotives will stop.
All information stored in the Cen-
tral Station (e.g., locomotive
speeds) will be erased. The left
LED will change from green to red
and back to green.
To restart a loco, set the loco
address selector on the Train
Mouse to
address. Turn the speed/direction
control to the center „off" position.
Then turn the control to the desi-
red speed and direction.
Analog Control Option
The „7+1" mode is for the „Analog
Control" option. When this option
is on, one conventional locomoti-
ve (a loco without a decoder) can
be controlled with the Multi-Train
System. The conventional loco
uses Address 8. The Analog Con-
trol option cannot be used on lay-
outs using the 55025 Switch
Decoder.
To activate the Analog Control
option:
- Press the 7+1 button and the
Reset button at the same time.
The right LED will turn off. This
indicates that the Analog Control
option is on.
- Set the loco address selector
to Address 8 to control the con-
ventional loco. The speed and
direction of the conventional loco
can be controlled with the Train
Mouse. However, the lights and
other functions of the conventio-
nal loco can not be controlled with
the Train Mouse.
- Conventional locomotives may
go in the opposite direction,
depending on the direction the
loco is placed on the track.
Always test the operation of con-
ventional locos.
- To deactivate the Analog Con-
trol option, press the Reset but-
ton.
- Conventional locomotives will
make a buzzing noise, especially
when stopped. This is caused by
the complex signal transmitted
through the track to decoder-
equipped locos. This will not harm
a conventional LGB locomotive.

Installing the Decoder

Multi-Train System decoders can
be installed in most LGB locos.
We strongly recommend fac-
tory installation of Multi-Train
System decoders. For factory

Whether your loco can be eqip-
ped with decoders depends pri-
marily on the type of gearbox
used in the loco. Use the chart
below to identify the gearbox and
installation procedures for your
locos. Also refer to the instruc-
tions for the loco for more infor-
mation.
Locos with „Direct" Decoder
Interface
These locomotives have a round
sticker with six white dots on the
gearbox, with „Direct Decoder"
written on the sticker.
Factory Installation: The LGB
service stations will install deco-
ders in these locos for a fee.
Do-It-Yourself Installation: If
you have a moderate degree of
mechanical and electrical ability,
you can install decoders in these
locos. The decoder simply is plug-

Track Cleaning Locomotives.
Factory Installation: The LGB
service stations will install deco-
