Note: You can force the Central Station to turn off by
pressing the STOP button for a long time (up to 10
seconds). Pressing the STOP button again leads back to
starting the Central Station again.
Limitations of the 60226 Central Station
Since the 60226 Central Station does not have a device
bus input, it cannot be used in Master/Slave operation as
a slave. This device has a second Märklin bus connec-
tion in place of the device bus input.
In addition, only the 60883 feedback module can be
connected to this device. The S88 connection on the
underside of the device is omitted.
Placing the Device in Operation
It is suffi cient to connect the track and the switched
mode power pack to the Central Station the fi rst time you
place the Central Station in operation.
1. Connected the layout track and if present the pro-
gramming track to the Central Station.
2. Connect the Central Station to the switched mode
power pack.
3. Connect the switched mode power pack to your local
household electrical current system.
We recommend using a power strip that can be tur-
ned on/off for all of the switched mode power packs
on the model railroad layout.
4. The Central Station starts automatically.
5. You can set the language the fi rst time you start the
Central Station and you will be led through the device
with the help of a Start Assistant. There are other
assistants built into the device that will introduce you
to details about the Central Station.
• Do not operate at an altitude over 2,000 meters / 6,500
feet.
• This device is to be powered only with SELV (Safety
Extra Low Voltage) corresponding to the identifi cation
markings on the specifi cation label.

Note
Since the CS3 is being developed further constantly,
an extensive operating manual in the package with the
unit would soon be obsolete after a short time. We have
therefore decided to make the operating instructions
available online, where we can update them more easily.
Look in the product database at www.maerklin.de under
item numbers 60216 / 60226. There you will fi nd them
available in other languages. This method is also more
environmentally friendly since a lot of paper can be
saved for the language versions.
