Connection:
Lift up the Central Station's clear plastic rear cover. Press the color-coded spring-terminals inwards and insert
the bare wire ends into the holes in the terminals. Releasing pressure on the terminal secures the wire (Image 2).
Connect the red and blue wires from a #35270 Track Power Clamp to the red and blue terminals on the Central
Station. Connect the black and white wires from the power supply to the black and white terminals on the
Central Station.
To get operating quickly and easily, connect the #35011**/35021* Navigator remote by plugging its 6-pin Digital
data cable into both the Remote and the Digital Bus data socket in the center of the Central Station's back
panel. The Navigator switches on automatically when the system starts up.
For wireless walkaround control, connect the #35012**/35022* Wireless Receiver to the data socket in the
center of the Central Station's back panel, using the narrower 6-pin Digital data cable, as shown in Image 4.
The red LED on the Wireless Receiver lights when it is ready for wireless operation.
The wider 8-pin Analog data cable packed with the Wireless Receiver is not used with the Digital
Central Station.
Add batteries to the Navigator and switch it on. Be sure to read the instructions packed with the Navigator and,
if operating wirelessly, the Wireless Receiver.
Operation:
Startup of the Central Station takes about 20 seconds. The red LED lights up and then changes to green. The
left and right LEDs on the Central Station (Image 1) give information on the operating status.
Operation of trains, switches and other items requires the PIKO Navigator.
Yellow-Orange LED (Data Reception):
- A blinking LED indicates data reception is in-process.
- The LED illuminates steadily while a reset of data is in-process (see the section below on the Reset Function).
Red/Green LED (Operating Status):
- Green indicates full operational readiness or "normal" status.
- Blinking red indicates a short circuit, overload or manual shutdown (Emergency Shutdown).
- Solid red indicates that the Central Station is overheated.
Emergency Shutdown:
In an emergency (such as avoiding a collision), press the red Stop button (left) on the Central Station once to
shut off all power to the track. The left LED will blink red. While the track power is off, take any necessary steps,
such as re-railing trains, removing obstacles from the track, etc. Now press the Stop button a second time. The
left LED will alternately blink red and green, indicating "Standby" mode.
While in Standby mode, you can use a Navigator remote to change the speed and/or direction setting of any
locomotives on the track. For example, if trains were about to collide before you pressed the Stop button, you
need to bring their throttle settings to a halt. During Standby mode, you can also change locomotive CVs if
desired (as described in the Navigator instructions)).
Now press the Stop button a third time. The left LED should light green. The Central Station is now in normal
operating mode once again. All trains will resume operation according to the last commands given to them by
the Navigator remote(s). If the LED remains on solid-red, the Central Station is overheated. Allow it to cool until
the LED blinks red again. Then follow the steps above to resume operation.
Note: On rare occasions, a loco decoder may become "locked-up" and not respond after the
emergency stop and restart automatically. In this case, the loco must start again manually.
See the decoder instructions for further information.
