 Central Station 60212

Pick out the desired solenoid 

accessory for the position on 

the control area currently se-

lected. This too is done either 

with the control knob or with 

the indicated control areas. 

Notes about different types 

of solenoid accessories:

•  A prerequisite for three-way turnouts and signals with several 

aspects is that the second solenoid must be connected to the 

address directly after the address for the first decoder connection.

Example:  

three-way turnout – first address is 11 => The second address 

must be 12. 

7241 signal with three aspects: Main solenoid is address 5 green 

and red => The address for the second solenoid must be 6 green! 

The red output for the second address cannot be used for other 

solenoid accessories!

•  Always connect H0 uncoupler tracks to the green decoder output 

and set them up as a “Continuous” button function. 1 Gauge 

uncoupler tracks are set up as a “Momentary” function. 

•  Lights or other users connected to a k84 decoder are set up as a 

“Momentary” button function.

“Enter New Accessory” Submenu

As an alternative to the submenu “Select from List”, when you are 

setting up the control areas, you can also put turnouts or signals into 

the solenoid accessory list later by selecting the control area  

“Enter New Accessory”.  These new accessories are placed at the 

selection position on the control area by using the procedure already 

described above for making new entries in the solenoid accessory 

list. 

Note: If a solenoid accessory already in the solenoid accessory list 

is entered a second time, then both of these entries are 

treated as separate solenoid accessories despite the fact 

that they have the identical designation and/or address. 

When you activate the accessory in one entry, the display 

indicator for the other entry is not updated!

“Exit” Submenu

An activity you are doing with the accessories right now can be 

ended without changes to its status by selecting this control surface 

as an alternative to the submenus “Select from List” and “Enter New 

Accessory”.

Removing a Control Element 

When you are setting up control elements on a control area, if you 

select a position already occupied by a control element rather than 

a free position, a submenu will appear for deleting the entry you are 

trying to make in the occupied position. There is also an alternative 

available for this procedure in the form of the control area “Exit”. 

Note: An entry can not be replaced by another control element 

until the old entry is first deleted and then newly defined. 

If the parameters for an entry (example: the name) are 

changed in the solenoid accessory list, then these chan-

ges will be accepted.

4.4. Controlling Solenoid Accessories

1. Select the correct control area.

2. Touch the image for the solenoid acces-

sory you want to control. 

- Solenoid accessory with two settings: 

The accessory will be switched from the 

current setting to the second setting. 

- Solenoid accessory with more than two 

settings: An additional control field will 

appear, from which you can select the 

desired setting. In the example to the right 

you can see the three possibilities for 

controlling a three-way turnout. 

Note: When the Central Station is in the emergency stop state, 

solenoid accessories cannot be operated. Manual chan-

ges to the setting for the solenoid accessories are not 

recognized by the system.

Deleting Solenoid Accessories

Press on the symbol “Setting up Solenoid Accessories” 

in upper menu list on the screen. A selection area with 

the three different selection fields will appear. Select the 

control area “Delete Solenoid Accessory”. The selection 

menu with all of the entries for the solenoid accessory 

list will also appear here. Navigate through this selection menu in the 

manner already described previously (either with the control knob or 

with the control areas on the screen) until you have selected the ent-

ry, which you want to remove from the solenoid accessory list. After 

you have confirmed the entry, the Central Station will not ask again if 

you are sure you want to remove the solenoid accessory in question 

from the solenoid accessory list.

Note: When a solenoid accessory is deleted from the solenoid  

accessory list, it is automatically removed from all  

applications in the different control areas.

4.3. Setting up a Control Area

The Central Station can have up to 18 control areas, each of which 

can have up to 16 solenoid accessories placed on it. These solenoid 

accessories come from the solenoid accessory list that you have 

already defined beforehand. These solenoid accessories can also be 

placed in different control areas at the same time. A change in the 

control status for such accessories is then updated automatically for 

all of the entries.

Depending on the operations status, the upper or the lower half for 

all of the control areas can be selected directly with the menu bar 

below the active control area you are using.  

Simply press on the 

number for that control 

area. Control Area 5 is 

active in the example 

shown nearby. Control 

Areas 1 to 4 and 6 to 

9 can be activated by 

touching their individual 

numbers. Touching the 

arrow button in the lo-

wer right will switch the 

screen to Control Areas 10 to 18.

Recommendation: Do not carry out the following steps, until you 

have pressed the “STOP” button (emergency stop). 

“Setting up Control Areas” Menu 

Press on the symbol for changing the control areas. A window will 

appear showing the current control area for the solenoid 

accessories, and the two bars for the function buttons 

will be shown reversed. Only the 

control area is of interest for the 

following steps.

Note: The active control area can 

be changed at anytime 

during the following 

procedure by selecting 

another control area. No 

additional storage of the 

parameters is necessary 

for the following entries. 

Any changes you make 

will therefore take effect 

immediately.

The control symbols are positioned in two rows in all of the control 

areas, with up to eight entries per row. Press on one of the symbols 

marking a free control area. Another selection menu will appear in 

which you now search for 

the line “Select from List”. 

This control area can either 

be activated by touching the 

screen or by turning and then 

pressing the control knob.  

A selection window will then 

appear with the entries in the 

solenoid accessory list.
