 Central Station 60212

28

If the power supplied from the Central Station is not enough over 

time, then the layout must be divided up into areas of equal size in 

terms of the power consumed. Each of these areas is then supplied 

with power from the Central Station or from a Boosters. The power 

supply to these layout areas must be electrically separated from each 

other (third rail insulation for H0, separation of the rail in 1 Gauge 

connected to the red wire from the Central Station and the Boosters). 

See the instructions for the 60129 Connect 6017 for examples of 

how to separate the power supplies.  

7. Additional Notes:

Please note the following additional special features about this  

version of the Central Station:

1. You may have function problems with the first generation of 763xx 

series color light signals with their integrated decoders. Ask your 

authorized digital dealer about the procedure for updating the old 

signals for the new ones.  

2. The 7686 digital turntable is (still) not supported with its own 

control area. 

3. It is not possible to take a locomotive on a layout from Märklin 

Systems to another operating system. Catenary is not to be used 

with Märklin Systems to power locomotives and powered units. 

Caution! The Central Station will suffer damages if it is connected 

electrically to other operating systems! 

4. Do you have ideas or wishes about future versions of the Central 

Station?  

You can let us know about this easily at the Internet address 

“www.maerklin-systems.de”. Please understand that this possi-

bility for making entries is only for gathering customer reaction. 

You will therefore not receive a reply to your comments in this 

entry field. In future versions of the Central Station you may 

possibly see your information translated into new features. If you 

require technical help, please contact us at this e-mail address: 

[email protected]

5. Please make sure that you have made the connections in the right 

sequence! We are referring here to the sequence described in this 

instruction manual. Don’t confuse the cable connection for the 

layout with the connection for the programming track.

  

new settings have been confirmed (control area with the check mark 

in the lower right).

In the “Expanded” control area you have the possibility of changing 

or adding to the designa-

tion for the Mobile Station 

you have just selected. 

The keyboard blended 

into the screen will help 

you here. This function 

only makes sense, when 

more than one auxiliary 

Mobile Station is being 

used.

Important! When a Mobile Station with an older version of the 

internal database than the version present in the Central 

Station is connected to that Central Station, the databa-

se in the Mobile Station is automatically updated. This 

process can take as long as 2 minutes!

Network Settings

These settings are required for an update of the software 

in the Central Station. Please note the guidelines for the 

various update packets for these settings.

Access Settings

Certain functions can be blocked in this sub-

menu. The individual functions are activated or 

deactivated by simply touching the square control 

area in front of each function.

6. Power Requirements

The power output for the layout can deliver a current with a maxi-

mum of 3 amps, when the 60052 / 60055 transformer is used. The 

maximum power is therefore about 45 to 48 VA. The programming 

track is supplied with a maximum of 1 amp. When this limit is 

reached, the Central Station will switch to emergency halt. This ope-

rating problem can be corrected by reducing the power requirements 

on the layout. 

The following list of power requirements will help you compute your 

overall power requirements:

Single motor locomotive in operation 

5 - 10 VA  

 

 

 

 

(1 Gauge up to 20 VA)

Sound effects circuit 

 

5 - 10 VA

Smoke generator   

 

2 - 5 VA

Turnout mechanism  

 

5 - 10 VA
