Safety Notes; Important Notes; Functions - LGB 26817 Mode D'emploi

Safety Notes

• This model may only be used with the operating system designed for it.
• Use only switched mode power supply units and transformers that are designed
for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one power pack.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating system.
• Not for children under the age of 15.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• WARNING! This product contains magnets. Swallowing more than one magnet may
cause death in certain circumstances. If necessary, see a doctor immediately.

Important Notes

• The operating instructions are a component part of the product and must therefore
be kept in a safe place as well as included with the product, if the latter is given to
someone else.
• The warranty card included with this product specifies the warranty conditions.
• Please see your authorized LGB dealer for repairs or spare parts.
• Disposing: www.maerklin.com/en/imprint.html

Functions

• This model is designed for operation on LGB two-rail DC systems with conventio-
nal LGB DC train controllers or power packs (DC, 0 – 24 volts).
• Factory-installed multiple protocol decoder (DC, DCC, mfx).
• The model is programmed with locomotive address 03 for use with the LGB Multi
Train System (DCC). The locomotive is automatically recognized in operation with mfx.
• Mfx technology for the Mobile Station/Central Station.
Name set at the factory: 99 236
• The functions can be activated only in parallel. Serial activation of the functions is
not possible (Please note here the instructions for your controller).
• When possible, use the larger "R3" and "R5" curves in order to increase the
operating reliability and allow prototypical operation.
• The engineer's cab will swing out quite a bit when the locomotive is negotiating
curves. For that reason check the clearance gauge of your layout before you run
this model.
• A straight section of track should always be installed before bridges, station plat-
forms, or tunnels so that the locomotive can straighten itself before passing these
obstacles.
General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:
A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order to guarantee operation
for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to current-conducting parts.
Preparation
Plug the brakeman's grab irons (Figure 4) in front and next to the lanterns.
Mode of Operation Switch
This model has a four-position switch for the mode of operation. It is located in the
engineer's cab (Figure 1).
Pos. 0 Locomotive stopped without current
Pos. 1 Locomotive motor, smoke unit, lighting, and sound turned on
Pos. 2 & 3 Same as Pos. 1
Sound
The bell and whistle can be activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (item no.
17050) that is included with the locomotive. The activation magnet can be clipped into
place between the ties of most LGB track sections. The magnet is located on the side
under the cast-in LGB logo. Place the magnet on the right side in order to activate the
whistle when the locomotive passes over this location. The bell will sound when the
magnet is placed on the left side.
Smoke Generator
In analog operation, the smoke generator synchronized to the wheels is turned off
due to its power draw. This can be turned on by setting CV 13 from Value 32 to
Value 96, but this may affect the running characteristics when running very slowly –
depending on the current supply.
The smoke generator may be filled with a maximum of 5 – 6 milliliters / 0.2 fluid
ounces of (Märklin) 2421 smoke fluid.
Multi-Purpose Socket
This model has a general-purpose socket on the back wall for flat plugs (Figure 2). If
you are equipping a car with interior lighting or with a sound effects module, you can
connect it to the socket and power that circuit with track voltage.
