General Information About Operation Of The Control Stands - FLEISCHMANN 18.4 Betriebsanleitung

Operation with Z21 control stand app
TIP: Driving with preparation and shutting
down: If you like to operate your locomo-
tive with model loyalty, you may activate
the preparation and shut down procedure
optionally stored in the control stand. In
that case, the locomotive will only start
if a specifi c sequence of functions was
completed fi rst.
▶Lift current collector.
▶Switch on main switch.
▶Switch on train headlight.
To be able to off er you more options for
operation of your locomotive with model
loyalty, we will extend and perfect our
virtual control stands with further updates.
In addition, we will realise future sound
projects in the control stand so as to create
an even more realistic acoustic operation.

4.2 General information about operation of the control stands

1. Switches, buttons and levers are operated by pressing them fi rst until a top view appears. Then
change position without releasing it.
2. To see details of the control stand better on your display, details can be enlarged. To do so, place
your thumb and index fi nger on non-assigned screen areas – e.g. the table top of the control stand
– and pull your fi ngers slightly apart.
3. It is always possible to switch from control stand to "normal" control panel. Once made, all
settings remain unchanged. On the other hand, it is not possible to take the functions activated in
the control panel into the control stand, because the control stand is always in the home position
when it is entered. The locomotive therefore remains visible when you fi rst change into the control
stand. Every time you enter the control stand you must complete the actions listed below in order
to start the locomotive.
4. In "Select Image" you can choose a picture from your picture library to insert in the window of
your control stand.
5. The function key icons in the bottom row activate functions of the control stand as well as
locomotive functions that are not available in the control stand (e.g. conductor's whistle, station
announcement, etc.)
6. In your locomotive library, you can assign the control stand to your locomotives and then assign
the function keys as you need them. This is most easily done by using the pre-settings for function
key assignment. Please note that when loading the pre-settings, the current function key assign-
ment is overwritten.
7. Every control stand can be assigned to several locomotives; for each locomotive you can individu-
ally assign the function keys.
8. "Lever/switch forward" always means: Away from the engineer.
