Programming And Readout - FLEISCHMANN TRAIN-NAVIGATION6893 Handbuch

The mounting height is very important: please make sure that the lowest part of the navi-
gation transmitter is no lower than the rail height or any object higher than the rail height. If
you are using anything on your layout which may protrude higher than the rails, like for
example, the FLEISCHMANN switch-contact rail, then the navigation transmitter must not
be deeper than these parts, otherwise it could get caught up. On the other hand, the navi-
gation transmitter should not be further than 12 mm above the rail height. Please also make
sure that the navigation transmitter can send out to all sides, i.e. the underlying wagon parts
cannot contribute to making a „shadow", thus obstructing the transmission of the infra-red
light.
The mounting location is also important: Basically, you should mount the navigation trans-
mitter on the under side of the loco or coach so that it lies on the centre line of the vehicle,
in other words transmitting towards the centre of the track. Do not forget though, that on lon-
ger coaches and wagons, the coach overhangs to the side of the track when going around
the curves, so that it is no longer transmitting to the track centre! In which case, you should
mount the navigation transmitter as close as possible to the bogie.
Always bear in mind, that the navigation transmitter mounted under the vehicle is just like a
torch, which must always „shine" on the sensors laying in-between the rails, so that the
system will operate!
Connect up the wires of the navigation transmitter with the current pick-up of your loco: the
red wire connects to the right hand pick-up (isolated) of your loco, and the black wire goes
to the left hand pick-up (not isolated).
Advice
The wire for the right hand pick-up for TWIN/DCC-decoders is red, but is blue for FMZ-
decoders. The wire for the left hand pick-up (= common side) is always black.

Programming and Readout

The navigation transmitter can be programmed using the TWIN-CENTER using the
CV-programming bytewise and bitwise (direct programming mode as per DCC) or also with
the DCC register programming (see further in the TWIN-CENTER handbook 6890, chapter
10.5) (i.e. on the programming track of your TWIN-CENTER). FMZ-programming is not
possible.
The navigation transmitter stores its own information, just like a DCC-loco-decoder, in CVs
or likewise registers according to the following table:
