Trix BR 185 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 3

Function
The locomotive offers the following features:
• Built-in electronic circuit for operation with a conventio-
nal DC power pack (max. ±12 volts), Trix Systems, Trix
Selectrix or NMRA DCC digital systems.
• The mode of operation is automatically recognized.
• Headlights for the locomotive change over with the
direction of travel. They can be turned on and off in
digital operation.
Note: When in direct current operation, never switch too
quickly from forward to reverse travel (and vice versa). Al-
ways first move the control knob to the 0 position for a brief
moment, then set the speed for the opposite direction.
Notes on digital operation:
• This locomotive comes from the factory programmed
for the digital address "03" (Selectrix) / "03" (DCC).
Number of speed levels that have been set: 28 (DCC)
and 31 (Selectrix).
• Information about DCC Operation:
The setting done at the factory does not permit opera-
tion with opposite polarity DC power in the braking
block. If you want this characteristic, you must do with-
out conventional DC power operation (CV29 / Bit 2 = 0).
• Trouble-free programming of the decoder can only be
guaranteed when it is done with original Trix Selectrix
components.
• The train has a technical feature in DCC operation in
which its lights will go on when the lighting function is
turned off and the train is stopped in a block.
• When using a multiprotocol digital central unit as an
operating system, this locomotive should be controlled
with DCC format. The Selectrix digital central unit
allows Selectrix format to be employed.
