2.5.1.2 Running the Locomotive
with Digital
1. Entering the Locomotive Address
at the Locomotive Controller.
Running the locomotive:
Turn the speed control knob to the
right. The locomotive runs. The farther
you turn the knob to the right, the
faster the locomotive runs.
Turn the speed control knob all the
way to the left to the "0" setting.
The farther the knob is turned to the
left, the slower the locomotive runs.
At the "0" setting the locomotive
comes to a stop.
Important:
Depending on the acceleration and
braking delay that has been set, the
amount of time for the locomotive to
reach a new speed will vary.
Turn the speed control knob to the
left past the zero point: The model
will change the direction of travel. At
the same time the direction of travel
indicator changes in the display on
the locomotive controller.
Important: You should not change
the direction of travel until the
model has come to a stop.
Tip: If the direction of travel is chan-
ged when the model is still moving,
then the model will come to an
immediate stop regardless of the
braking delay that has been set.
When a collision threatens, changing
the direction of travel quickly can
avoid an accident in certain situati-
ons. Alternatively, you can active the
"Stop" function.
When the address for the locomotive
decoder is entered, the following
functions can still be switched on
and off directly at the locomotive
controller:
Function/off: Direction dependent
headlights / marker lights on/off
f2: Sound effect of a turbo-generator
f3: Sound effects of a locomotive
whistle on/off
f4: Telex coupler on the tender on/off
Caution:
The Telex coupler may not be turned
on continuously. The electronic circuit
for it therefore turns off the Telex
coupler off on its own after too long
a period of operation in order to
safeguard the Telex mechanism.

Operation
The Telex coupler should not be
activated again in this situation until
all of the components have cooled off.
Important:
We recommend that you activate
functions f2 through f4 only after you
have turned the sound effects circuit
on manually in order to guarantee
that these functions are carried out
correctly in all operating situations.
In the event of a pause in operation
(after just a minute of standing still)
the activated sound effects circuit
switches on its own to a state of no
operation. When the locomotive is
started again or when some function
is switched on or off at Decoder 1
(decoder for running the locomotive),
then the operating sound effects are
automatically activated again.
