LGB Sumpter Valley Mallet Mode D'emploi page 7

Attention: Do not connect this model
to other loco models with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped with a facto-
ry-installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on ana-
log or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the
model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on pro-
gramming the loco address, see the
instructions for various MTS compo-
nents.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can control the loco's
functions remotely. Press the light-
ing button ("9" with remotes) to turn
the loco lights on or off. Press the
function buttons to control the fol-
lowing functions:
1: Whistle signal "crossing" (2 long,
1 short, 1 long blasts)
2: Brake sound
3: Bell
4: Station announcement: "Train
departing on Track 1."
5: Flickering firebox and firebox
sound off/on
6: Injector sound
7: Smoke generator off/on
8: Sound off/on
With a Loco Remote or Universal
Remote, press the numbered loco
function buttons. For example, to
trigger the brake sound, press button
"2" on the Loco Remote or Universal
Remote.
When using the MTS components
marked with a "p," this loco can
receive "parallel" function com-
mands, which eliminate the pause
that occurs when a "serial" command
is received.
14
Parallel: Command is send directly.
Serial: Command is send as a string
of "1" commands, for example, 3 = 1
+ 1 + 1).
Most MTS components can be
upgraded to parallel function com-
mands (Exceptions: first generation
55000 MTS Central Station, 55010
Train Mouse). For more information,
contact your authorized retailer or go
to www.lgb.com.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, the loco features a "Back-
EMF" function. This keeps the motor
speed constant (and under normal
conditions the loco speed), even
when the load of the loco changes,
for example, in curves or on grades.
This feature does not work at top
speed, because additional voltage
must be available to overcome any
added load.
If desired, numerous functions of the
onboard decoder, such as accelera-
tion, braking, direction of travel and
many others, can be programmed
using a PC and the 55045 MTS PC
Decoder Programming Module (see
Instructions for advanced users).
These functions also can be pro-
grammed with the 55015 Universal
Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional light-
ing. The model has a "flat" multi-pur-
pose socket, with a removable cover,
on the rear of the tender (Fig. 3). This
socket can be used to provide track
power to LGB cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the socket,
pull it straight out. If the cover is
tight, gently use a small straight
screwdriver to pry it out. (Do not pull
out the rectangular outer housing.)
Smoke Generator
This model is equipped with a smoke
generator. A small supply of LGB
Smoke and Cleaning Fluid is included
with this model. For best operation,
fill the generator halfway with fluid. If
the generator is overfilled, it will not
convert the fluid into smoke.
Attention! Never touch the heating
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile. Not
for children. Only for use by adults!
Attention! Only use LGB Smoke and
Cleaning Fluid (50010). Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.
Hint: The smoke generator can be
run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Sound
This model features a digital elec-
tronic sound system. The volume
control is located under the rear
removable steam dome (Fig. 4).
The steam sounds are synchronized
with the wheel revolutions. The
sound is factory pre-set to 2 chuffs
per revolution. If you prefer 4 chuffs
per revolution, reprogram Bit7 in
CV54 to "64" (see Instructions for
Advanced Users).
In addition to the steam chuffs, you
hear the sounds of the cylinders.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can set the sound so
that it is load-dependent: Like on a
prototype steam locomotive, the
chuffs do not sound when slowing
down or going downhill - only the
cylinder sounds can be heard in
these situations. To activate this
option, program Bit4 in CV54 to "8"
(see Instructions for Advanced
Users).
All sound features described below
also can be controlled directly with
the LGB Multi-Train System (see
Multi-Train System).
Bell and whistle: The whistle sounds
automatically when the locomotive is
started.
The bell and whistle also can be trig-
gered using the LGB Sound Trigger
Magnet (17050) included with this
model. The 17050 snaps between
the ties of most LGB track sections.
The magnet in the 17050 is under the
LGB logo. If the contact is installed
with the logo on one side of the
track, it will trigger the whistle as the
model passes. If the contact is
reversed, it will trigger the bell.
Brake: To trigger the "squealing"
brake sound, reduce the model's
speed slowly. This requires a skilled
hand and a little practice.
Standing sounds: With the Multi-
Train System, you hear the boiler
sounds while the loco is standing. In
a random sequence, you hear the
sounds of the air pump, the injector
and the safety valve.
To hear the standing sounds with
analog operation, a low voltage (approx.
6.5 volts) must be maintained on the
tracks. Turn the throttle to a low set-
ting so that the loco does not yet
start, but you can hear the sounds.
Hint: To obtain standing sounds with
analog operation while the throttle is
turned off and when reversing the
locomotive's direction, the 65011
Sound Unit Power Storage must be
installed. For questions regarding the
installation of the 65011, please con-
tact your authorized retailer.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliability,
operate this model with LGB power
supplies (transformers, power packs
and controls) only. The use of non-
LGB power supplies will void your
warranty.
Use this model with LGB power sup-
plies with an output of more than 1
