Control Elements Relevant to Operations
= The locomotive is turned on with this relay; the displays show the current operating situati-
Main Relay
on. The locomotive is not ready to run. No effect on the sound function (activate with stylus).
Pantograph up = This switch simulates raising the pantograph; the locomotive is now ready to run.
Speed Level
= Changing speed levels to run the locomotive, when the speed level is reduced to 0 the loco-
motive remains at idle. The locomotive runs further and the speed is reduced according to the
momentum.
This reduction does not correspond to the settings for acceleration/braking delay (ABV).
The speed level can be controlled with the left control knob on the Central Station or with the
stylus.
Dead Man's Switch = has to be pressed at regular intervals. If the button "dead man's switch" is not pressed,
a request to do so will appear in the information display on the screen. If a speaker is connec-
ted to the Central Station, a warning will sound.
If the button "dead man's switch" is not activated right after this, there will be a compulsory
braking of the train. The button "dead man's switch" can be operated by pressing on the left
control knob or with the stylus.
= The locomotive is braked according to the setting of the brake lever (ABV not effective
Brakes
here) when the brakes are activated. This can be done with the right control knob or with the
stylus.
Locomotive Functions = The functions for the locomotive are turned on and off with this button by means of
the stylus.
Supply Indicator = This sand supply is required for running the locomotive. If the sand supply is depleted, the
locomotive switches to a crawl. The locomotive cannot be controlled normally again until this
sand supply is replenished.
The way the sand supply is replenished differs according to the mode of operation.
