Operation
2.1 Function
This locomotive has a built-in digital
electronic circuit and offers the follo-
wing features:
• Operation with AC power (32 VA
transformer) or DC power (max.
18 volts DC) as well as Märklin
Delta (6607 Delta-Station only) or
Märklin Digital (Motorola format).
This locomotive is not designed for
operation with locomotive control-
lers for other systems (example:
pulse width control, operation with
the Central-Control 1 (6030) or
similar systems).
• Automatic recognition of conven-
tional and Digital/Delta operation.
The choice between AC or DC
power in conventional operation is
set manually on the circuit board.

• 80 Digital (4 Delta) addresses can
be set with coding switches.
Address set at the factory: 44.
• Adjustable maximum speed.
• Headlights change over with the
direction of travel and can be tur-
ned on and off in Digital operation.
During conventional operation the
brightness of the headlights
depends on the speed of the loco-
motive. The headlights are on con-
stantly when the locomotive is
operated with the Delta Station.
• Only when operated with the
6021 Control-Unit: Sound effects
circuit that can be turned on to
reproduce prototype sounds that
vary with the speed of the loco-
motive.
• Only in operation with the
6021 Control-Unit: Sound effect for
a horn can be turned on and off.
• The model has a Telex coupler at
both ends that can be uncoupled
with a switching command from
Märklin Maxi or standard 1 Gauge
models with claw couplers, when
you are in digital operation with the
6021 Control Unit. You may have
operations problems if you use
other makes of couplers.
• Minimum radius required for
operation: 600 mm / 23-5/8".
Recommended minimum radius:
1,020 mm / 40-5/32". Automatic
coupling or uncoupling is not pos-
sible with cars on curves. When
traversing curves or turnouts with
a radius of 600 mm / 23-5/8", the
speed of the locomotive must be
adjusted to the conditions. Other-
wise, derailments are possible.
• This model is suitable for operation
on Märklin 1 Gauge track (Maxi or
standard 1). You can try running
this model on other makes of
track, but at your own risk.
