Using Several Wireless Receivers; Multi-Train System, Operation; Analog Operation, Installation - LGB 55055 Bedienungsanleitung

Using Several RC Receivers for Large Layouts (only with
the Multi Train System)
You can use up to three RC receivers in order to increase
the range (Fig. 4). The RC receivers are located on the layout
such that even on large layouts every part of the layout is
within range of an RC receiver. All of the RC receivers in
such an installation are programmed to the same ID No. 2
(setting as delivered from the factory).
The receivers are each connected to one of the sockets
marked "LGB-BUS" on the MTS adapter.
ID Number
Each device that is connected to the LGB BUS has to have
an ID number. The ID number for the RC receiver comes
from the factory set for ID 2 and normally should not be
changed.
• If possible, no number should be used at the same time for
two different devices.
• ID Numbers 1 and 2 have higher priority (are processed
more often).
• This is how you program the ID number:
1. Disconnect the cable to the MTS central unit.
2. Unscrew the four screws on the underside of the
housing. Open the housing and set the DIP switches to
the desired code using the table included with the unit
(Page 9).
3. Replace the housing.
4. Plug the cable in for normal operation.
Note: Only ID Numbers 1 and 2 work on the first generation
MTS central units.

Operation
The red LED on the RC receiver lights up when the receiver
is ready for operation. If the emergency stop button for a
hand controller is pressed, its LED will blink.
ANALOG OPERATION
Installation
Use the cable with two wide rectangular Western Electric
plugs that comes with the receiver. Connect the socket
marked "51070" on the RC receiver with the socket marked
"55055" on the 51070 locomotive controller (Fig. 3). Plug the
antenna included with the receiver into the hole in the cover
for the RC receiver. Locate the RC receiver so that the range
is not exceeded at any point on your layout (see Range).
Setting the Numbers for Track Power Circuits
In analog operation you can use up to eight 51070 locomo-
tive controllers with eight transformers assigned to them
and eight 55055 RC receivers. This means you can operate
up to eight separate track power circuits from one hand
controller. You can also use up to eight hand controllers to
operate the individual track power circuits.
• Each track power circuit is given a number that is set
on the 55055 RC receiver assigned to it. This number is
selected as a locomotive number in the hand controller in
order to control the locomotive controller connected to it.
• This is how you set the RC receiver:
1. Unplug the cable from the 51070 locomotive controller.
2. Unscrew the four screws on the underside of the
housing. Open the housing and set the DIP switches to
the desired code using the table included with the unit
(Page 9).
