the Sound 2, press button “2” on the
Loco Remote or Universal Remote.
When using the MTS components
marked with a “p,” this sound car
can receive "parallel" function com-
mands, which eliminate the pause
that occurs when a "serial" command
is received.
Parallel: Command is send directly.
Serial: Command is send as a string
of "1" commands, for example,
3 = 1 + 1 + 1).
Most MTS components can be
upgraded to parallel function com-
mands (Exceptions: first generation
55000 MTS Central Station, 55010
Train Mouse). For more information,
contact your authorized retailer or go
to www.lgb.com.
If desired, numerous functions of the
onboard decoder can be pro-
grammed using a PC and the 55045
MTS PC Decoder Programming
Module (see Instructions for
advanced users). These functions
also can be programmed with the
55015 Universal Remote.
Attention! When using the Multi-
Train System, do not connect sound
cars to loco lighting sockets using
the older, round connectors. Short
circuits may occur. Fire hazard!
Instead, use metal wheel sets to pick
up power directly from the tracks
(see Track Power Conversion). If
your loco is equipped with the newer,
flat socket, you can power the sound
car from the loco socket. (The flat
sockets are equipped with short-cir-
cuit protection.)
Track Power Conversion
This sound car can be modified to
pick up power directly from the track.
This modification requires tools and
the following parts:
- 67403 Ball Bearing Wheel Sets,
2 pieces
- Approximately 50 cm (1.5 ft) of
two-wire cable
The ball-bearing wheels are equipped
with integrated power pickups. They
also reduce friction, allowing you to
run longer trains. To perform the
modification:
- Remove the old wheel sets.
- Drill a hole in the floor of the car to
route the wires (Fig. 4).
Attention! Do not drill through the
printed circuit board.
- Install the ball bearing wheel sets.
- For each wheel set, cut a length of
cable that runs from the pins on the
axle through the hole in the car
floor to the terminal strip on the cir-
cuit board.
- Solder or crimp a connector
(included with Ball Bearing Wheel
Sets) to one end of each wire.
Connect the wires to the pins on the
wheel sets (Fig. 3).
- Route the cables through the floor
