the LGB catalog.
Catenary Power Operation
This locomotive can be operated with
a powered catenary system (see
Operating Modes). The bottom of
this model is marked with a red dot.
Place the model on the track with the
red dot pointing to the rail that is not
connected to the catenary power
supply.
Hint: To operate multiple trains on
the same track, we recommend the
LGB Multi-Train System (see Multi-
Train System). With the Multi-Train
System, you can use an unpowered
catenary system for prototypical
appearance.
CAUTION! This model may be pow-
ered with a catenary on analog lay-
outs only. For operation with the
digital Multi-Train System, the model
must use track power. Otherwise,
dangerously high voltages may
result.
Attention! After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.

MTS Onboard Decoder
Programming functions
You can program numerous func-
tions of the onboard decoder to suit
your requirements. If you want to do
this, program the "function values"
in "registers" (CVs) using a PC and
the 55045 MTS PC Decoder Pro-
gramming Module. You can also pro-
gram the function values using a
55015 Universal Remote.
Hints:
- For normal operation, it is not
necessary to change the function
values.
- If programming results in unsatis-
factory operation, you can repro-
gram the factory pre-set values of
most important CVs: Program reg-
ister CV55 to function value 55.
This also reprograms the loco
address to the factory pre-set
value.
To reprogram the factory pre-set
function values with the 55015 (dis-
plays shows "P --") input 6, 5, and 5
and press the right arrow button. The
display shows "P --" again: Input 5,
5, and 5 and press the right arrow
button again.
