Functions
• Built-in electronic circuit for oberation with an conventional DC
power pack, Trix Selectrix or NMRA DCC digital.
• Automatic system recognition between digital and analog
operation.
• No automatic system recognition between Selectrix (SX) and DCC.
• The full range of functions is only available under Selectrix 2
(SX2) and under DCC.
• Triple headlights in the front, dual white marker lights in the rear
that change over with the direction of travel.
• Interior lighting built in.
• Maintenance-free LEDs for lighting.
• Analog 14 volts DC, digital 22 volts AC
• The 15855 (also lighted) intermediate car can be added to the
powered rail car train.
Notes on digital operation:
• The first time the locomotive is used in a digital system (Selectrix
or DCC), the decoder must be set for this digital system. To do this,
the decoder must be programmed once in this digital system.
• Motor and control cars cannot be programmed simultaneously.
They must be programmed separately from each other and they
must be placed individually on the track for this purpose. Only the
address (the same as in the motor car) must be programmed in
the control car.
• The operating instructions for your central unit will give you exact
procedures for setting the different parameters.
• The values set at the factory have been selected to insure
trouble-free operation.
• This locomotive comes from the factory programmed for the
digital address „01“ (Selectrix) / „03“ (DCC).
• This locomotive with the settings made at the factory cannot be
operated with opposed polarity DC power in braking track blocks.
If this feature is desired, then you must do without conventional
DC operation (CV 29 / bit 2=0).
Safety Information
• Pay close attention to the safety warnings in the instructions for
your operating system.
• Always increase the track voltage slowly and evenly.
• In DC operation the locomotive‘s running characteristics depend
on the speed controller you are using.
Not suitable for:
• Locomotive controllers with pulse width control.
• Continuous train lighting on analog layouts.
• Trix ems.
