LGB 22872 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 7

Hint: Reaching the power control
switch is easier when the loco is
parked on a curved track.
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 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 remotely control the
loco's functions. Press the lighting
button ("9" with remotes) to turn the
loco lights on or off. Press the func-
tion buttons to control the following
functions
1: Whistle
2: Brake sound
3: Bell
4: Conductor announcement: "En
voiture, s'il vous plaît! En voiture!"
(All aboard, please! All Aboard!)
5: Flickering firebox off/on
6: Whistle signal
7: Smoke generator off/on
8: Sound off/on
With a Loco Remote or Universal
Remote, press the numbered loco
function buttons. With an MTS Train
Mouse, press the loco function but-
ton the matching number of times.
For example, to trigger the bell, press
button "3" on the Loco Remote or
Universal Remote. If you are using a
Train Mouse, press the function but-
ton three times to trigger the bell.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, the loco features a "Back-
EMF" function. This keeps the motor
speed constant (and under normal
14
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. 4). 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! Only use LGB Smoke and
Cleaning Fluid (50010). Other fluids
may damage your locomotive.
Attention! Never touch the heating
element in the center of the smoke
generator. It is hot and fragile.
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 inside the smoke
box. Pull out the front of the boiler
(Fig. 5) to access the volume control.
Most of the 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 (2 long blasts when moving
forward, 3 short blasts when reversing).
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: After the model
stops, the air pump sounds several
times. Then you hear the feedwater
pump filling the boiler. If a low volt-
age (approx. 6.5 volts) is maintained,
the standing sounds will continue to
sound at regular intervals while the
locomotive is standing. (With the
Multi-Train System, you hear the
standing sounds only once.)
Hint: If this model is not used for a
long time, its capacitors will dis-
charge, and the sound system will
operate erratically. To recharge the
capacitors, operate the model at
brisk speed for about 30 seconds.
Hint: This model is equipped with a
starting delay circuit. This enables
the model to produce standing
sounds while it is stopped.
Attention! Do not connect this model
to other locomotives with different
starting characteristics. This can
damage the internal gearing.
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
amp. For more information on LGB
power supplies for indoor, outdoor
and multi-train operation, see the
LGB catalog.
Attention! After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.
