Safety Notes

• This locomotive is only to be used with the operating
system it is designed for.
• Use only switched mode power supply units and transfor-
mers that are designed for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from
more than one power pack.
• Please make note of the safety information in the instruc-
tions for your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent inter-
ference with radio and television reception, when the
locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The
14972 interference suppression set is to be used for this
purpose. The interference suppression set is not suitable
for digital operation.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme
changes in temperature, or high humidity.
• The wire used for feeder connections to the track may be
a maximum of 2 meters / 39 inches long.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.

General Notes

ponent part of the product and must therefore be kept as
well as transferred along with the product to others.

Functions

• Built-in electronic circuit for operation with a conventi-
onal DC power pack (max. ±12 volts), Trix Systems, Trix
Selectrix or NMRA DCC digital systems.
• Automatic system recognition between digital and analog
operation.
• No automatic system recognition between Selectrix (SX)
and DCC.
• Built-in headlights that change over with the direction of
travel. They can be turned on and off in digital operation.

Notes on digital operation

• The first time the locomotive is used in a digital system
(Selectrix or DCC), the decoder must be set for this digital
system. To do this, the decoder must be programmed
once in this digital system
(Example: changing an address).
• The setting done at the factory does not permit operation
with opposite polarity DC power in the braking block.
If you want this characteristic, you must do without
conventional DC power operation (CV 29 / Bit 2 = 0).

that the installation of non-Trix parts or the conversion in or of Trix products
