How To Put Your Locomotive On Rails; How You Control Your Locomotive With Smartrail - FLEISCHMANN 18.4 Betriebsanleitung

5b. If no locomotive is found, the
touch panel, locomotive address 3 is automatically used.

1.3 How to put your locomotive on rails

1. Carefully set the locomotive onto the smartRail track, manually or using railing equipment.
2. As long as your hand is within the read-out range of the sensors, the smartRail remains in
stand-by mode. This is indicated by continuous red blinking of the
3. Only when the locomotive has come to a complete standstill and your hand has left the read-
" "
out range will the begin to glow red.

1.4 How you control your locomotive with smartRail

1. Move your finger right to left over the left slider area (the field between the symbols
" "
), and the locomotive drives to the left.
2. The more you move your finger to the left, the faster the locomotive becomes. smartRail auto-
matically recognises the speed at which the model is moving and will regulate track speed so
that the locomotive always remains in the same position. Please note that the delayed speed
regulation may cause slight movements forward or back – in the range of 1 to 2 centimetres.
3. Move your finger left to right over the right slider area (the field between the symbols
" "
), and the locomotive drives to the right.

Operation on touch-panel
This is how scanning of locomotive addres-
ses works:
1. smartRail reads out the short CV1 as well
as the long CV17/18 address.
2. If the read out is unsuccessful, automatic
locomotive search is started. In this
process, all addresses are checked and
the system waits for a reaction of the
locomotive; this may take several minu-
tes. To abbreviate this time, smartRail
will check the most recently controlled
locomotives first. The process can be
cancelled by Smartphone or multiMAUS
driving command.
3. If no locomotive is found, the stop key
switches to pale red. The panel then au-
tomatically switches locomotive address
3; other addresses are only accessible by
Smartphone or multiMAUS.
Changing the factory setting of the functions
for a locomotive or switching additional
F-keys requires an external control device:
This can be a Smartphone or a tablet PC
(programming instruction on page 42) or
a classic multiMAUS (programming
instructions on page 56).
