Safety Notes
• This model is only to be used with the operating system it
is designed for.
• Analog max. 15 volts DC, digital max. 22 volts AC.
• This model must never be supplied with power from more
than one power pack.
• Please make note of the safety notes in the instructions
for your operating system.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent inter-
ference with radio and television reception, when the
model is to be run in conventional operation. The
E611 655 interference suppression set is to be used for
this purpose. The interference suppression set is not
suitable for digital operation.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme
changes in temperature, or high humidity.
• The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 accor-
ding to Standard EN 60825-1.
Important Notes
• The operating instructions and the packaging are a com-
ponent part of the product and must therefore be kept as
well as transferred along with the product to others.
• This model is larger than the customary European loading
gauge. It swings out quite a ways, chiefly on curves.
Please check before using this model for the first time,
to make sure that it can operate on your layout without
hitting signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel
portals, etc.

• Various controllable functions.
• Controllable current-conducting coupler for supplying
power to other cars (maximum load 200 milliamps).
• Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm/14-3/16".
Multi-Protocol Operation
Analog Operation
This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or
areas of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes
alternating current (DC) and automatically adapts to the
analog track voltage. These are all of the functions, with the
exception of sound functions, which were set under mfx or
DCC for analog operation (see Digital Operation).
Digital Operation
The decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders
can be used under the following digital protocols: mfx, DCC
or MM.
Address set at the factory: DCC 03 / MM 17
The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest
order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in
descending order is:
Priority 1: mfx
Priority 2: DCC
Priority 3: MM
