Safety Notes; Important Notes; Multi-Protocol Operation - Trix BR 53 Bedienungsanleitung

Safety Notes

• This locomotive is only to be used with the operating system
it is designed for.
• Analog max. 15 volts DC, digital max. 22 volts AC.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from
more than one power pack.
• Please make note of the safety notes in the instructions for
your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference
with radio and television reception, when the locomotive is
to be run in conventional operation. The 611 655 interference
suppression set is to be used for this purpose. The interfe-
rence suppression set is not suitable for digital operation.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme changes
in temperature, or high humidity.

nent part of the product and must therefore be kept as well as

Multi-Protocol Operation

Analog Operation
This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or areas
of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes alternat-
ing current (DC) and automatically adapts to the analog track
voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC for analog
operation are active (see Digital Operation).
Digital Operation
The decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders can
be used under the following digital protocols: mfx or DCC.
The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest
order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in
descending order is:
Priority 1: mfx
Priority 2: DCC
Priority 3: DC
Note: Digital protocols can influence each other. For trouble-free
operation, we recommend deactivating those digital protocols
not needed by using CV 50. Deactivate unneeded digital proto-
cols at this CV if your controller supports this function.
If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track,
the decoder automatically takes on the highest order digital
protocol, example: mfx/DCC; the decoder takes on the mfx digital
protocol (see previous table).
