settings for functions, which are supposed to be active in analog operation, can be
done under mfx and DCC.
Notes on digital operation
• 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 for mfx in order to guarantee the
best possible running characteristics.
Adjustments may have to be made for other operating systems.
mfx Protocol
Addresses
• No address is required; each decoder is given a one-time, unique identifier (UID).
• The decoder automatically registers itself on a Central Station or a Mobile Station
with its UID-identifier.
Programming
• The characteristics can be programmed using the graphic screen on the Central
Station or also partially with the Mobile Station.
• All of the Configuration Variables (CV) can be read and programmed repeatedly.
• The programming can be done either on the main track or the programming track.
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
• Function mapping: Functions can be assigned to any of the function but-
tons with the help of the 60212 Central Station (with limitations) and with the
60213/60214/60215 Central Station (See help section in the Central Station).
DCC Protocol
Addresses
• Short address – long address – multiple unit address
• Address range:
1 - 127 for short address and multiple unit address,
1 - 10239 for long address
• Every address can be programmed manually.
• Short or long address is selected by means of CV 29 (Bit 5).
• A multiple unit address that is being used deactivates the standard address.
Programming
• The characteristics can be changed repeatedly using the Configuration Variables
(CV).
• The CV numbers and the CV values are entered directly.
• The CVs can be read and programmed repeatedly. (Programming is done on the
programming track.)
• The CVs can be programmed in any order desired. (PoM - Programming can be
done on the main track). PoM is not possible with CVs CV 1, 17, 18, and 29. PoM
must be supported by your central controller (Please see the description for this
unit.).
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
• 14 or 28/126 speed levels can be set.
• All of the functions can be controlled according to the function mapping (see CV
description).
• See the CV description for the DCC protocol for additional information.
We recommend that in general programming should be done on the programming
track.
SERVICE
Lubrication
The axle bearings should be lubricated occasionally with a small amount of Märklin-
Öl (7149).
Changing Light Bulbs
Headlights: Carefully lift the glass from the lantern. Pull the light bulb out of the
socket with a pair of tweezers. Insert new light bulb. Put the model back together.
Interior Lighting: Pull the light bulb out of the socket with a pair of tweezers. Insert
new light bulb.
Changing Traction Tires
• Remove the old traction tire with a small flat blade screwdriver:
• ift the old traction tire out of the groove in the driving wheel.
• Carefully push the new traction tire over the wheel and insert it into the groove of
the wheel.
• Check to make sure that the traction tire is properly seated.
