Special Emergency Stop; Alteration Of Data Format For Individual Locos - FLEISCHMANN TWIN-CENTER 6802 Handbuch

polarity in the track to determine which direction
the loco will run on the layout. Once the power in
the track changes polarity, then the loco will run
in the opposite direction. This operation method
is particularly suitable for push / pull trains.
The loco precedence* corresponds to the clas-
sical 3-rail operation. Changing the polarity in the
track does not affect the direction of the loco, in
that its direction of "funnel forwards" or "loco cab
1 forwards" can only be changed from the con-
troller. This method allows a simple running
through of reverse loops. In entering or leaving
the reverse loop, it must be ensured that the iso-
lated reverse loop section is the correct polarity
for exit or entry.
FMZ-systems, and now naturally the TWIN-
TECHNIK with loco decoders in FMZ-format
incorporate both methods of operation. The
method for each loco with Decoder in FMZ-for-
mat can be set for loco or track precedence.
The DCC data format knows only the loco prece-
dence, therefor this format is pre-set. However,
for locos using the FMZ-fomat, this can be chan-
ged by pressing the f3-key for the corresponding
loco.
And here is how to do it:
• On the left or right controller of the cur-
rent loco running in loco precedence,
the LED "f3" is off
• Press key "f3" of the controller, the loco
will now run in track precedence, LED
"f3" is illuminated
• Press key "f3" once more and the loco
will again run in loco precedence and
the LED "f3" is no longer illuminated
TAKE CARE
If the precedence is changed from loco to
track or vice versa, during operations,
then according to the method currently in
use, the loco may suddenly automatically
change direction.

Special Emergency Stop

The emergency stop as described in chapter 7.3
by using pressure on the control knob will set the
speed of the loco concerned to zero. The loco
can be set in motion again by turning the knob.

However, if you had not taken note of the speed
level in the display before the emergency stop,
the information has now been lost. The previous
speed level can be reached by carefully by hand,
being aware at the same time that this could take
some time if a high level of inertia was in use.
Using key "f4" can also be used to operate an
emergency stop for a decoder in FMZ-format, but
in this case, the previous speed setting will be
remembered. By pressing key "f4" once more,
then the old speed level will be automatically
reset.
7.8
In the software V1.000, FMZ is preset as the data
format for each new loco decoder called up. This
has been changed for version V1.100. Now the
DCC-format with 14 speed steps is the preset
format. These alterations will also affect the
works setting values of the special options:
SO25=1, SO 907=4.
A loco decoder address when first called up will
automatically be in DCC-data format. If the loco
is fitted with a different type of decoder, then the
desired data format has to be allocated in the
basic settings.
Possible settings are as follows:
DCC* 14*-27-28-128
FMZ

for individual locos
DCC-data format is factory-designated
DCC-format with 14, 27,
28 or 128 speed steps
FMZ format with 15
speed steps
TIP
The data format which will be mainly
used, or that of the majority of your loco-
motives should be the format set in the
TWIN-CENTER.
