The Central Station 3 is a digital controller for digital mo-
del railroads. It enables you to run several locomotives
at the same time, control turnouts and signals, and much
more. Due to the many options and possibilities, it is not
always easy to maintain an overview. Beginners in parti-
cular are often overwhelmed by the options and possi-
bilities that are offered. Therefore, there is a simplifi ed
user interface. Here the possibilities are limited and even
beginners can easily fi nd their way around the operation
of the Central Station.
Operating for the First Time
When operating the Central Station for the fi rst time, it
is enough to connect the track and the switched mode
power pack to it (see page 2).
1. Connect the running track and programming track to
the Central Station.
2. Connect Central Station to the switched mode power
pack.
3. Connect the switched mode power pack to your
household current.
We recommend using a switchable power strip and
connecting all switched mode power packs from the
model railroad layout to it.
4. The Central Station starts automatically.
5. When starting the Central Station for the fi rst time, you
can do language settings. After that, you can start the
simplifi ed user interface. This mode is designed to be
self- explanatory and enables an easy entry into the
operating concept of the Central Station 3.
Notes for the Simplifi ed User Interface
• When starting the Central Station for the fi rst time in
the simplifi ed user interface, you can set up a loco-
motive automatically. You can do this alternatively as
follows:
– Do an mfx locomotive search and setup.
To do this, click on „Mfx Locomotive Search" and
confi rm the appropriate points on the following
page, depending on the situation.
– Set up a non-mfx locomotive manually.
The most important points will be queried here and
after that, the locomotive will be set up accordingly.
• Using the button „Keyboard" in the upper left on the
screen, switch to the Keyboard to set up or switch
turnouts or other solenoid items.
• In the Keyboard, there is at fi rst a pair of buttons for
each of the fi rst 32 addresses to allow switching the
item assigned to each pair. An item connected to
the system can be switched immediately under its
address.
• You can change to the confi guration for solenoid
items by clicking on the button
Note for Solenoid Items (Turnouts, Signals, etc.) under
DCC
The Keyboard is preset for digital items under MM or
mfx. In order to be able to switch items under DCC, they
must fi rst be changed to DCC in the Keyboard. To do this,
proceed as follows:
1. Call up the Keyboard.
2. Change to the confi guration by using the button
3. Mark the appropriate items / the appropriate address
by clicking on them.
4. Switch the protocol to DCC at the lower edge of the
screen.
Naturally, other settings for an item can also be done
here, such as assigning a name, but this is not necessary
for the functioning of the items.
Switching to the Standard User Interface
To do this, start the setup. Select the entry „Standard" in
the left half of the window under „User Interface". After
that, the Central Station starts again.
Select the button and after that use the button
change to CS3 Settings in order to get back to the
simplifi ed user interface. Here you can switch the user
interface back to „simplifi ed".
