Operation
2.5.3 Operating the locomotive
on alternating current
When the locomotive is operated with
AC power in conventional operation,
the 32 VA transformer (no. 6645,
6646, 6647 or 76648) can be used.
Locomotive speed is increased by
turning the control knob to the right
and is decreased by turning the knob
to the left. The direction of travel is
changed by turning the control knob
to the left past the "0" setting.
The command to reverse should be
given only to a standing locomotive,
never to one in motion.In operation
with alternating current the headlights
change direction with the direction of
travel and are on all of the time. The
intensity of the headlights depends
on the speed of the locomotive.

The front pantograph is always
extended in analogue operation.
It can be fixed manually in the lower
position. The rear pantograph
together with the front pantograph
can be extended permanently by
rearranging jumper 1 on the control
electronics. In this case, however,
the two pantographs will always
react together to the f1 function, even
in digital mode. All other functions
(horn etc.) are switched off are can-
not be activated (operating noise).
2.5.4 Operating the locomotive
on direct current
Märklin does not offer DC power
packs for 1 Gauge models. Suitable
DC power packs are those with a
maximum current of ±18 volts.
Direction reversing is done by rever-
sing polarity. The manufacturerís
instructions for a particular make of
power pack will give directions on
how to use it to operate a locomotive.
Tip:
H0 DC power packs supply a maxi-
mum voltage of ±12 volts. This loco-
motive reaches its full potential at
±16 volts. H0 DC power packs can
therefore be used only with limitations.
In operation with direct current the
headlights change direction with the
direction of travel and are on all of
the time. The intensity of the head-
lights depends on the speed of the
locomotive.
The front pantograph is always
extended in analogue operation.
It can be fixed manually in the lower
