Safety Notes

• This locomotive is only to be used with the operating
system it is designed for.
• Analog max. 15 volts DC, digital max. 22 volts AC.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from
more than one power pack.
• Please make note of the safety notes in the instructions
for your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent inter-
ference with radio and television reception, when the

Multi-Protocol Operation

Analog Operation
This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or are-
as of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes alter-
nating current (DC) and automatically adapts to the analog
track voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC
for analog operation are active (see Digital Operation).
If the locomotive is being used exclusively in analog operati-
on, the decoder can be replaced by the bridge plug included
with the locomotive. The headlight changeover remains in
effect.
Digital Operation
The decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders
can be used under the following digital protocols: mfx or DCC.
The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest
order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in
descending order is:
Priority 1: mfx
Priority 2: DCC
Priority 3: DC
Note: If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the
track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest value
digital protocol.For example, if mfx & DCC are recognized,
the mfx digital protocol is taken on by the decoder. Individual
protocols can be deactivated with Parameter CV 50.
