LGB 23191 Instructions De Service page 10

OPERATION
Preparation
Attach the engine to the tender:
- Plug the wiring cable (Fig. 1)
from the engine into the socket
on the tender.
- Slip the coupling hook on the
engine over the loop on the ten-
der.
Attention! The cable can be
damaged by rough handling.
When disconnecting the tender,
do not pull on the cable. Pull on
the plug only.
Operating Modes
This model has a four-way power
control switch mounted inside the
cab (Fig. 2, 3):
Position 0: All power off
Position 1: Power to lights and
smoke generator
Position 2: Power to lights, smoke
generator and motors
Position 3: Same as 2 (factory
pre-set)
Multi-Train System
The model is equipped a factory-
installed onboard decoder for the
LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on
analog or digital layouts. For oper-
ation with the Multi-Train System,
the model is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on
programming the loco address,
see the instructions for various
MTS components.
When operating with the Multi-
Train System, you can remotely
control the loco's functions. Press
the lighting button ("9" with
remotes) to turn the loco lights on
or off. Press the function button to
turn the smoke generator off or
on.
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.
10
If desired, numerous functions of
the onboard decoder, such as
acceleration, braking, direction of
travel and many others, can be
programmed using a PC and the
55045 MTS PC Decoder Pro-
gramming Module (see "Instruc-
tions for advanced users"). These
functions can also be pro-
grammed using the 55015 Uni-
versal Remote.
Lighting
This model features directional
lighting. The model has a "flat"
multi-purpose socket, with a
removable cover, on the rear of
the tender (Fig. 4). This socket
can be used to provide track
power to cars with lighting or
sound electronics.
To remove the cover of the sock-
et, 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 genera-
tor halfway with fluid. If the gener-
ator is overfilled, it will not convert
the fluid into smoke.
Attention! Only use LGB Smoke
and Cleaning Fluid (50010).
Other fluids may damage your
locomotive.
Attention! Never touch the heat-
ing element in the center of the
smoke generator. It is hot and
fragile.
Hint: The smoke generator can
be run "dry" without smoke fluid.
Power Supply
Attention! For safety and reliabil-
ity, operate this model with LGB
power supplies (transformers,
power packs and controls) only.
The use of non-LGB power sup-
plies will void your warranty.
Use this model with LGB power
supplies with an output of at
least 1 amp. For more informa-
tion on LGB power supplies for
indoor, outdoor and multi-train
operation, see the LGB catalog.
