Märklin Central Station Bedienungsanleitung Seite 23

Tip: If you don't know whether a locomotive is evaluating direction
data, a little test can help. Let the locomotive run a short distance.
Note the direction of travel for the locomotive. Take the locomotive
off of the layout. Change the direction of travel on the display. Set the
locomotive back on the track and run the locomotive again with the
locomotive controller part of the Central Station. Has the direction
changed? Then, the decoder is evaluating the direction command.
Turning Auxiliary Functions On and Off
The controllable functions for a locomotive are represented with
appropriate pictograms on the locomotive
controller part of the Central Station. At
the same time these pictograms also give
information about whether the functions are
on or off on the locomotive in question. See
section 3.3.4. about setting up or changing
particular pictograms.
The pictograms are divided up into two
groups with 8 different positions per group.
The group on the outer edge of the screen
can also be turned on and off with the
function buttons located next to this group.
Otherwise, all of the functions are turned on
and off by touching the appropriate picto-
grams on the screen.
Note: Continuous functions (example:
headlights / marker lights on a locomotive)
are turned on by pressing the appropriate button or touching the ap-
propriate pictogram once and are turned off by pressing or touching
a second time. Momentary functions (example: locomotive whistle)
are activated only as long your finger is pressed on the pictogram on
the screen.
Calling up Another Locomotive in the Locomotive
Controller
If you want to call up another locomotive
or an item equipped with a locomotive or
function decoder, you must select it from the
locomotive list. To do this press the selector
button in the upper left corner (for the left lo-
comotive controller, in the upper right corner
for the right locomotive controller) next to the
control knob. A selection menu will appear
on the display screen.
1 = Locomotive currently
called up
2 = Sorting primarily by
favorites
3 = Sorting primarily by loco-
motives currently in use
4 = Sorting primarily by the
name of the locomotive
5 = Button: End without selec-
ting a locomotive
6 = Button: Call up the loco-
motive selected
7 = One entry further down
8 = Cursor bar position in the
list
9 = One entry further up
10 = Call up the locomotive on another controller.
You can also search through this menu by turning the control knob.
The locomotive currently being selected is called up into the locomo-
tive controller part of the Central Station by pressing on the control
knob for that locomotive controller.
The minute a command for running a locomotive (a speed level
greater than 0) or for turning a function on is given, the locomotive or
function model is designated as "active". You can sort in the locomo-
tive list by this characteristic. Active locomotives cannot be deleted.
Multiple unit (M.U.) motive power (see following section) is also
displayed in the locomotive list. Entries for these units have the addi-
tional designation of an "M".

Multiple Unit (M.U.) Motive Power
Two or more locomotive coupled together can also be controlled
jointly with the Central Station. To do this, an entry is generated in the
locomotive list, and this entry makes use of a new name to control
the locomotives coupled together.
Tip: Press the "STOP" button before the following steps.
The procedure for generating multiple unit (M.U.) motive
power: Press the button in the upper left or right corner of the
display screen, which you use to access the submenu for the
locomotive controller part of the Central Station. A selection
menu will appear in which
you select the line "New M.U.
motive power". A submenu
will open up for setting up a
multiple unit (M.U.) motive
power combination.
This consists of two overlaid
entry levels with the designati-
ons "New Motive Power" and
"Expanded". If this does not
happen automatically, touch
the "New Motive Power" part
of the screen, so that this
entry level is active. There you will find two selection lists. The left
selection list contains all of the entries that have been put into the
locomotive list.

A ABC
The first locomotive you want in a multiple unit motive power com-
bination is selected by turning the left control knob. This locomotive
is taken into the right list by pressing on the left control knob. Do the
same process with the other locomotives, which you would like to
put into a multiple unit motive power combination.
�
You can move the selection bar in the right "Locomotives in M.U."
selection list with the control knob on the right side. The locomotive
just marked in the list is deleted again by pressing on the
control knob. The sequence of entries can be changed
�
with the two arrows to the right under the right selection
list. The particular entry that has just been marked is
moved. Alternatively, locomotives in the selection
list can also be accepted or removed with the two
�
control fields in the center under the two lists.
You can select a symbol in the submenu "Expanded" to represent the
multiple unit motive power combination in the locomotive control-
ler. You can also give the multiple unit motive power combination a
name, which you can use to select it from the locomotive list.
Leave the menu by touching the check mark in the lower right. The
parameters you have just set are not stored in memory until now.
If you touch the "x" in the lower right, then you leave the submenu
without generating a new multiple unit motive power combination.
