Lighting
This model has automatic directional
lanterns on the front and the rear of
the loco: three white lanterns on the
front and two red lanterns on the
rear. The control panels inside the
cabs are equipped with white lights
for background lighting along with
small LEDs. Several LEDs are illumi-
nated in the front cab. One is illumi-
nated in the rear.
This model has "flat" multi-purpose
sockets, with removable covers, on
the front and rear of the loco. These
sockets can be used to provide track
power to cars with lighting or sound
electronics.
To remove the cover of the socket,
pull it straight out. If the cover is
tight, gently use a small straight
screwdriver to pry it out. (Do not pull
out the rectangular outer housing.)
Catenary Power Operation
This locomotive can be operated with
a powered catenary system (see
Operating Modes). The bottom of
this model is marked with a red dot.
Place the model on the track with the
red dot pointing to the rail that is not
connected to the catenary power
supply (Fig. 5/6).
Hint:
To operate multiple trains on
the same track, we recommend the
LGB Multi-Train System (see
Multi-
Train System
). With the Multi-Train
System, you can use an
unpowered
catenary system for prototypical
appearance.
CAUTION!
This model may be pow-
ered with a catenary on analog lay-
outs only. For operation with the dig-
ital Multi-Train System, the model
must use track power. Otherwise,
dangerously high voltages may
result.
Attention!
After extended operation,
this model may leave carbon dust or
other debris around the track. This
dust and debris can stain carpet and
other materials. Consider this when
setting up your layout. Ernst Paul
Lehmann Patentwerk and LGB of
America are not liable for any dam-
ages.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADVANCED
USERS
MTS Onboard Decoder
Programming functions
You can program numerous func-
tions of the onboard decoder to suit
your requirements. If you want to do
this, program the “function values”
in “registers” (CVs) using a PC and
the 55045 MTS PC Decoder
Programming Module. You can also
program the function values using a
55015 Universal Remote.
Hints:
- For normal operation, it is not nec-
essary to change the function val-
ues.
- If programming results in unsatis-
factory operation, you can repro-
gram the factory pre-set values of
most important CVs: Program reg-
ister CV55 to function value 55.
This also reprograms the loco
address to the factory pre-set
value.
To reprogram the factory pre-set
function values with the 55015 (dis-
plays shows “P --”) input 6, 5, and 5
and press the right arrow button. The
display shows “P --” again: Input 5,
5, and 5 and press the right arrow
button again.
