Introduction; Basic Information For Using The Central Station; Operation/ Function Elements; Installation - Märklin Central Station Bedienungsanleitung

1. Introduction

The third generation of Märklin multi-train control systems is now
ready with Märklin Systems. The Central Station represents the most
important component for this. It is responsible for generating the
correct control data, it manages the coordination of the components
connected to the system, and also offers an easy to use, manageable
control surface. Furthermore, this Central Station with Update offers
additional functions such as shuttle train control, routes, feedback
module, and much more. The update can be downloaded from either
the Internet page for Märklin (www.maerklin.de) or it can be done by
your local authorized dealer or by the Märklin Service Department.
Trouble-free operation with this complex system is only guaranteed,
when you use tested Märklin System components and nothing else.
Any use of other makes of products with Märklin Systems will invali-
date the manufacturer's warranty from Märklin. Damages arising from
the use of other makes of products is therefore the responsibility of
the operator.
When connecting the Central Station and other components to
your layout, follow the techniques and principles contained in these
instructions. The use of other circuits may easily lead to damage to
the electronic components. It is best if you refrain from "expensive"
experiments.
The Central Station is not a toy. Make sure that this unit is used by
children only as a controller for model trains.
We hope and trust that you will have much enjoyment in the use of
the Central Station on your model railroad layout.
Your Märklin Service Team

2.2 Installation

• Use the Central Station only indoors in dry areas.
• Suitable transformer for power: Item nos. 60052 / 60055 trans-
former or their variants for other household power systems. The
transformer is not included with the Central Station. The appro-
priate connecting cable comes with the 60052 / 60055. Exceptions
to this are starter sets that come with a Central Station.
Using a no. 6000 / 6001/ 6002 or 6003 transformer will mean limita-
tions on the maximum power output. The connecting cable required
for the above comes with the Central Station.
Caution: No other users such as turnouts, signals, lights,
railroad grade crossing, etc. may be connected directly
to the terminal clips for the transformer powering the
Central Station! Users not receiving power through a
digital decoder require a transformer separate from
Märklin Systems!
