LGB Mikado 27872 Mode D'emploi page 9

Electronic Sound
This model comes equipped with a digital sound circuit. A volume controller is located in
the smoke box behind the smoke box door (Figure 4).
Bell and Whistle: A short whistle sounds when the locomotive starts up. The departure
signal sounds only after the locomotive has been stopped for a long time, but not
continuously during switching operations. You can activate the bell and the whistle
(long whistle) with the LGB sound activation magnets (item no. 17050) included with this
model. The activation magnet can be clipped between the ties of most sections of LGB
track. The magnet is molded under the embossed LGB logo. If you place the magnet on
one side of the track, it activates the whistle when the locomotive passes over this spot.
When the magnet is placed on the other side of the track, the bell sounds.
Programming the Decoder
Numerous functions on the decoder can be programmed individually. To do this,
function values are programmed in registers (Configuration Variables - CVs). You also
can program the function values with the 55015 Universal Remote Controller.
• For normal operation, it is not necessary to change the function values.
• If programming results in unsatisfactory operation, you can reprogram the factory
pre-set values of most important CVs: Program register CV 55 to function value 55.
To reprogram the factory pre-set function values with the 55015, select program-
ming mode "P" (displays shows "P --"). Then input 6, 5, and 5 and press the right
arrow button. The display shows "P --" again: Input 5, 5, and 5 and press the right
arrow button again.
