Functions
• This model is designed for operation on LGB two-rail DC systems with conventio
-
nal LGB DC train controllers or power packs (DC, 0 - 24 volts).
• Factory-installed multiple protocol decoder (DC, DCC, mfx).
• The model is programmed with locomotive address 03 for use with the LGB Multi
Train System (DCC). The locomotive is automatically recognized in operation with mfx.

General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:
A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order to guarantee operation
for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to current-conducting parts

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 (Figure 2).
CAUTION!
Catenary may be supplied with current only in analog operation. In digital
operation, the locomotive may only receive current from the rails, since otherwise
dangerous voltage levels may be generated.
Sound
This model has a volume control on the underside (Fig3).
The whistle can also be activated with the LGB sound activating magnets (17050).
The activating magnet can be clipped into place between the ties on most sections
of LGB track.
Place the logos with the logo on the right side or left side of the track respectively in
order to activate a short blast / long blast on the whistle when the locomotive crosses
over this spot.
Pantographs
This model is equipped with electronically controlled pantographs. The rear pan-
tograph is raised and the front pantograph is lowered automatically depending on
the direction of travel (Function 7). The pantographs can also be optionally raised
manually (Function 3). Function F7 is active in analog operation.
The pantographs can be fixed in the lowered position by clipping them into the
restraints.
