Introduction
The fourth generation of Märklin multi-train control systems is now ready with this “Märklin Digital“.
The most important component is the Central Station, which is responsible for the generation of the
correct control data, which carries out the coordination of the components connected to it, and which
also offers an easy-to-use manageable operating surface. Trouble-free operation with this complex
system is only ensured when you use only tested Märklin system components. Märklin‘s manufacturer‘s
warranty therefore becomes invalid if you use any other make of product with the Central Station.
The operator is thereby responsible for damages arising from the use of other makes of products.
Adhere to the techniques and principles presented in this instruction manual when connecting your
layout to the Central Station. The use of other circuits can easily lead to damage to the electronic
components. It is therefore best if you refrain from “expensive“ experiments. The Central Station is
not a toy. Make sure that this device is also used by children only as a controller for a model railroad.
We hope you will have a lot of enjoyment using the Central Station with your model railroad layout.
With this Central Station you have a device that offers you extensive possibilities for controlling your
model railroad. We recommend that you work through the examples presented in this handbook.
You will thereby have a much greater level of reliability in using the Central Station.

Notes for the Central Station
Do not expose the Central Station to moisture.
This Märklin product is not watertight. Malfunctions can occur if there is high humidity or if moisture
gets inside the housing. The corrosion of the internal mechanism and electronics can lead to irrepara-
ble damages.
Do not expose the Central Station to shock.
If this controller is exposed to blows or strong vibrations, the result can be continuous malfunctions.
Do not expose the Central Station to extremes of temperature.
Sudden changes in temperature can cause moisture to condense inside the housing. In order to avoid
condensation buildup, you should keep the Central Station protected andl you should protect it during
transport before you change to a location with much higher or lower temperature.
Do not use force when operating the buttons and control knobs on the Central Station.
Do not use force when operating the buttons and control knobs on the Central Station.
Safekeeping
Do not keep the Central Station in locations where the following unfavorable conditions prevail:
High humidity or bad ventilation.
Temperatures over 50° Centigrade / 122° Fahrenheit (such temperatures can occur for example in direct
sunlight) or under -10° Centigrade / 14° Fahrenheit.
Humidity over 60%.
The humidity must not be greater then that for Central Europe.
Cleaning
Remove lint and dust with a soft, dry or slightly moist cloth. Never use alcohol, thinners or other
strong cleansers.
