Use Of An Analogue Locomotive On Digital Tracks (Loco Without Digital Decoder); Compatibility Between The Old System; The New System; Compatibility Of Control Devices And Decoders - Roco Lokmaus 2 Handbuch

Make sure that the tracks at all sections have the same polarity, so that there don't happen short
circuits if a train passes from one section to an other. If a short circuit occurs simply turn the plug
of the feeding track by 180°!
U
SE OF AN ANALOGUE LOCOMOTIVE ON DIGITAL TRACKS
The second generation of the ROCO digital system does not support controlling a loco without a digital
decoder (also the old 'digital is cool' system didn't). The reason is that a loco without digital decoder on
a digital layout causes an enormeously bothering high-frequency noise. There is also the danger that
small motors (originally N-scale motors) that are installed in some small H0 locos could be damaged.

In no case you may plug parallelly to a digital system a normal DC-transformer to the same
tracks! The digital amplifier will be damaged!
Even locos that you already have can be equiped with a decoder. If the loco is equipped with a NEM-
plug it is very easy to install the decoder. Inside those locos you find the plug to connect the decoder.
There is no nesessity of mechanical works because the space for the decoder is prepared. How to install
the decoder is shown in the instruction of those locomotives.
Most of the locos that are not equipped with a NEM plug can be converted to digital too. But in that
case mechanical works could be necessary and therefore it is better to ask your specialized dealer to
convert your locos.
Locos of other manufacturers can be converted to digital too. If they are equipped with a NEM-plug the
conversion is as easy as to convert a ROCO locomotive. If the loco is not prepared for the digital conver-
sion you must find a space for the decoder inside the loco or make it by mechanical works.
If you want to install the decoder with load regulation then the loco must be equipped with a DC-motor
or the AC-motor must be converted from electrical field magnets to a motor with permanent magnets.
