MULTI-TRAIN SYSTEM

Installation

Use the cable with two narrow

phone-style connectors (4/6, includ-

ed) to connect the socket marked

"LGB-BUS" on the Wireless Receiver

with a corresponding socket on the

55110 MTS Remote Adapter or on

the MTS Central Station (Fig. 2). Plug

the antenna (included) into the hole

in the top of the Wireless Receiver.

Position the Wireless Receiver to

ensure that your entire layout is with-

in the range of the Wireless Transmit-

ter/ Wireless Receiver (see Range).

Caution! Do not connect the phone-

style connectors of LGB products to

your phone system. The LGB prod-

uct will be destroyed!

Hints:

- The Wireless Receiver can receive

control inputs from up to eight

remotes (each equipped with a

55050/55051 Wireless Transmitter).

- When operating several remotes at

the same time, control inputs can

overlap and be lost.

- 55015 Universal Remotes in

doubleheading mode count as two

remotes.

Range

The range of the Wireless Transmit-

ter is approximately 15 to 20 m (50

to 65 ft) (Fig. 1). External factors,

such as other transmitters using the

same frequency (e.g., wireless ther-

mometers), objects between Wire-

less

Transmitter

and

Wireless

Receiver and walls that reflect the

radio waves can decrease the range.

On large layouts, we recommend

placing the Wireless Receiver in the

center of the layout at eye level. The

best position can be found through

trial and error. You can extend the

cable between the Wireless Receiver

and the 55110 using a phone cable

and a phone-style plug (6/4) up to a

distance of 30 m (100 ft).

Hint: If the Wireless Receiver is

placed outdoors, it must be protect-

ed from moisture. For example, you

can install the receiver in a tightly

sealed structure, like a model building.

If your layout does not respond to

control inputs from your remote, it is

likely that you have exceeded the

range. Decrease the distance between

remote and Wireless Receiver (not

between remote and locomotive) and

re-send the control inputs. To

increase the range, you can use sev-

eral Wireless Receivers (see Using

several Wireless Receivers on large

layouts).

Attention! Wireless transmission of

data never can be secure. If you are

outside the range of the receiver,

your layout will not respond to con-

trol inputs (such as "Emergency

Stop").

Using several Wireless Receivers

on large layouts (with Multi-Train

System)

You can use up to three Wireless

Receivers on your layout to increase

the range (Fig. 1). You can set up the

receivers in various places on your

layout to ensure that your entire lay-

out is within reach of at least one

Wireless Receiver. All Wireless

Receivers must be programmed to

ID-No. 2 (factory pre-set). Connect

each Wireless Receiver to one sock-

et on the 55110 MTS Remote

Adapter marked "LGB-BUS."

Hint: In case you need more than

three Wireless Receivers, you can

connect the additional ones to a sec-

ond 55110.

ID Number

Each device connected to the LGB

BUS needs an ID No. The ID No. of

the Wireless Receiver is factory-pre-

set to 2. Under normal conditions,

this number should not be changed.

- If possible, do not use duplicate ID

Nos.

- ID Nos. 1 and 2 have a higher pri-

ority (data are sent more often).

- To program the ID-No:

1.Disconnect the wires from the

Wireless Receiver to the 55110 or

MTS Central Station.

2. Remove the four screws on the

bottom of the housing. Open the

housing and set the DIP switches

for the address according to the

code in the table (Fig. 3).

3. Close the housing.

4. Connect the cables for normal

operation.

Hint: With the original MTS Central

Station, only ID Nos. 1 and 2 are

valid.

Operation

The red LED on the Wireless Receiv-

er illuminates and shows that the

system is ready to operate. If the

Emergency Stop button on a remote

is pressed, the LED flashes.

ANALOG OPERATION

Installation

Use the cable with wide phone-style

connectors (8/8, included) to con-

nect the socket on the Wireless

Receiver marked "51070" with the

socket on the 51070 marked

"55055" (Fig. 4). Plug the antenna

(included) into the hole in the top of

the Wireless Receiver. Position the

Wireless Receiver to ensure that

your entire layout is within the range

of the Wireless Transmitter/Wireless

Receiver (see Range).

Caution! Do not connect the phone-

style connectors of LGB products to

your phone system. The LGB prod-

uct will be destroyed!

Range

The range of the Wireless Transmit-

ter is approximately 15 to 20 m (50

to 65 ft). External factors, such as

other transmitters using the same

frequency (e.g., wireless thermome-

ters), objects between Wireless

Transmitter and Wireless Receiver

and walls that reflect the radio waves

can decrease the range.
