PIKO Navigator

2.1.2 Entering the engine location and first vehicle operation

The locomotive selection key or brings you to the input window for the locomotive
addresses.The desired locomotive for simple vehicle operation can be selected by entering a
locomotive address using the keyboard, , for e ample, and then confirming that selection
using . Your locomotive can now be controlled using the control dial. First vehicle operation
is immediately possible. The Navigator subsequently returns to Driving Mode (you can obtain
the locomotive address in the instruction manual that came with your locomotive or decoder).
The locomotives obtain their movement data with 28 speed steps and parallel operational data.
Detailed function specifications, locomotive image, locomotive name, etc. are e plained in the
LOCOMOTIVE CONFIGURATION (point 4 of these instructions).

2.1.2.1 Vehicle operation with the PIKO analog throttle (35002)

The Navigator can also be used as a remote control for the PIKO analog throttle (in connection with
a PIKO wireless receiver 35018).
You can find more specific information regarding connection and the range of functions in the
instruction manual for the PIKO controller 35002.

2.1.3 Information concerning radio control

The PIKO Navigator uses a registration free and cost-free fre uency band. It does not conflict with
the prevalent LGB radio system. Both systems can also be operated on the same system. Radio
®
communication is bidirectional. Data transfer occurs at a high rate of speed and there is no risk of
reduction. A radio transmission distance of 50 to 100 meters can easily be achieved outdoors. In-
doors, the transmission distance can be limited by various construction materials. Please note that it
is possible for disruptions to occur as a result of other radio components such as wireless computer
mice or keyboards, garage door openers and radio links for audio transfer (audio headsets). This
can affect the performance and range of the radio signal or bock it completely. Performance may
be improved by changing channels (see chapter 5.5.2.1). In the event of simultaneous operation of
multiple radio-navigators, these must be programmed with unique ID numbers.
2.1.4 Operation with other control system
The PIKO Navigator can also be operated with the MASSOTH digital command controls DiMAX
1200Z, 1210Z, 800Z and LGB MZS III. In addition, the handheld controller can also be operated on
®
command controls with XpressNet or via a separate wireless receiver.
