Getting off to a quick start :
1. Connect the adapter and the Digi 1 as described on page 8 under "Connection and
Operation".
2. The locomotives in the start set have been allocated addresses, which are shown on
the labels on the bottom of the locos together with the transmission channel for the
PIKO Digi remote control.
3. Put the loco on the track and note the address and transmission channel (see label on
bottom of loco). To start the loco all you have to do is to press one of the keys "A" to
"D" on the remote control corresponding to the transmission channel given on the bot-
tom of the loco. Then you can regulate the speed directly by pressing the keys "+" or "-
". If you press
or
while the model is in motion it does an emergency stop and
changes direction. We recommend you practise this a few times to give you reliable
control of the loco speed.
4. If you want to run another loco with a different address (see label on the bottom of
the loco) on your layout then proceed as follows:
Stop the loco in operation and put the second loco on the rails. You can control this
loco exactly like the first one by using the appropriate transmission channel keys chan-
nel "A" to "D". Please practise this a few times.
If you want to run both locos then press the appropriate transmission channel key ("A"
to "D") for the loco in question and regulate its speed and direction as described under
point 3 above.
That is the whole secret of digital control.
Congratulations ! you have mastered it already!
5. N.B.: if you have problems with running two locos e.g., if the two locos are heading
for a collision, press the "Stop" key immediately.
Remove one loco from the rails, then press the Stop key again and start again from the
beginning as described above.
If you press the Stop key for a second time before removing the locos from the rails
theywill start moving again at the same speed and - the crash is inevitable.
6. A better way to control the locos is as follows: to bring a loco to an emergency stop
it is safer first to press the channel key "A" or "B" for the loco and then either
or
. This also stops the loco.
You should practise this a few times.
Engine drivers on the full-size railways aren't let loose on the passengers in the first five
minutes either. It simply takes practice!.
Enjoy your training - it's certain to be a success!
