Operation

2.4.1.2 Operating the locomotive

with Digital
To operate the locomotive with
Märklin Digital, the locomotive address
is entered on the Control-Unit (6021)
or with a Control-80 f (6036) loco-
motive controller connected to it. The
locomotive's speed is increased by
turning the speed control knob to the
right and is decreased by turning this
knob to the left. The direction of travel
is changed by turning the speed
control knob to the left past the "0"
setting. The locomotive's headlights
can be turned on with the "function"
button and off with the "off" button.
When turned on, the headlights are
on in the direction of travel.

The following functions can be con-
trolled with the "f1" through "f4"
buttons:
f1 = Smoke generator and engineer's
cab lighting on / off
f2 = Sound effects of locomotive bell
on / off
f3 = Sound effects of locomotive
whistle on / off
f4 = Minimum acceleration and
braking delay (see 2.3)
Information about the Functions:
The smoke generator must not be
left turned on for long periods of time
without any smoke fluid in it. The
engineer's cab lighting comes on at
the same time as the smoke generator
so that the model railroader will know
that the latter function is turned on.
The built-in sound effects for the
operation of the locomotive can be
turned on and off manually (see 2.5).
It is designed for operation with
Digital or Delta controls only.
2.4.2 Operating the locomotive
with Delta
To operate the locomotive with Märklin
Delta you use the Delta-Mobil to sel-
ect the address that has been set on
the former. The locomotive will run
forward when you turn the speed
control knob to the right of the center
position. Turning the speed control
knob to the left of the center position
will cause the locomotive to run in
reverse. The headlights change
direction with the direction of travel
and are on all of the time. The maxi-
mum power output of the Delta-Sta-
tion is sufficient to operate 2 to
a maximum of 3 single motor loco-
motives at the same time.
Of the functions f1 to f4, the function f1
is on continuously when operating the
locomotive with the Delta-Station.
The other functions remain off.
