as the hand controller does not have an end-
less regulator like the TWIN-CENTER, the
regulator could be in the wrong position
when the loco is allocated to this particular
hand controller. So that the loco does not
immediately run backwards, the regulator
will only become active when it is actually
moved for the first time. Besides which, only
the speed information will be transmitted
and not the direction information. The direc-
tion information will only be taken over if, in
the meantime, the speed zero has been set.

7.11.4 Cancelling a loco/hand controller allocation

In order to cancel the loco/hand controller alloca-
tion, first press the [lok#] key and then the [mode]
key. After inputting the relevant number of the hand
controller, the TWIN-CENTER will display the ad-
dress of the loco currently allocated to it. By pres-
sing the [C] key, this allocation will be cancelled.
And here is how to do it:
• Press the [lok#] key
• Press the [mode] key
• Enter the hand controller number via the
numeric keyboard
• Press the [↵] key
• Using the [C] key delete the current loco
allocated address
• Confirm by using the [↵] key
ADVICE
If another loco is to be allocated to an alrea-
dy occupied hand controller, then the cur-
rent address can be simply overwritten by
putting in the new address.

7.12 LOK-BOSS

TheLOK-BOSS is connected to the LocoNet-T
connector of the TWIN-CENTER by a LocoNet
cable and works as a TWIN-BOX with 4 hand
controllers connected to it. The LOK-BOSS iden-
tifies itself automatically as the TWIN-BOX no. 1
(this cannot be altered), its 4 LED positions repre-
sent the ports A to D of the TWIN-BOX. As shown
in chapter 7.11, the "virtual" hand controllers of
the LOK-BOSS first are assigned hand controller
numbers; after that you can assign any loco
address to these hand controllers. As a result,

you can control, with the LOK-BOSS connected
to the TWIN-CENTER, not only the locos no. 1
through 4, but all the locos the TWIN-CENTER
has in store.
If there are several LOK-BOSSes connected, you
can still control the same 4 locos only. The LOK-
BOSS controls basically with 14 speed steps. In
case the TWIN-CENTER is preset with another
speed step value, these values (e.g. 28 speed
steps) will be transferred to the LOK-BOSS
accordingly.

7.13 Data Compression

119 locos can be run simultaneously using the
TWIN-CENTER. There is no limit to the addresses
other than the space available. However: who
actually can operate 199 locos at he same time,
or even owns such a large layout where they all
could run? From this question, it is clear that the
data for all the locos does not need to be avail-
able from the TWIN-CENTER at the same time.
The TWIN-CENTER therefore incorporates an
experience system which recognises that certain
locos have not been accessed by the transmissi-
on cycle over a long period of time and subse-
quently removes them. This experience system
can be called "data compression".
The time allowed for data compression of a loco
and the conditions, whether it should be for stan-
ding locos or running ones as well, can be set by
using the options 27 and 28 (see supplement A1)
Naturally, the automatic data compression for any
or all of the locos in memory storage of the TWIN-
CENTER can also be switched off using this spe-
cial option.
7.14 Operation of
Function decoders serve to operate function
models or can be installed in addition to the loco
decoder inbuilt in the vehicle if several functions
need to be operated as can be handled by the
loco decoder.
With the procedure described in chapter 7.8, the
data format of these function decoders can also
be altered.
