Safety Notes

• This locomotive is to be used only with an operating
system designed for it.
• Use only switched mode power supply units and transfor-
mers that are designed for your local power system.
• This locomotive must never be supplied with power from
more than one power pack.
• Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions
for your operating system.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme
changes in temperature, or high humidity.
• The feeder track must be equipped to prevent inter-
ference with radio and television reception, when the
locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The
611 655 interference suppression set is to be used for this
purpose. The interference suppression set is not suitable
for digital operation.

General Notes

• The operating instructions and the packaging are a com-
ponent part of the product and must therefore be kept as

No warranty or damage claims shall be accepted in those cases where
parts neither manufactured nor approved by Trix have been installed in
Trix products or where Trix products have been converted in such a way
that the non-Trix parts or the conversion were causal to the defects and /
or damage arising. The burden of presenting evidence and the burden of
proof thereof, that the installation of non-Trix parts or the conversion in or
8
of Trix products was not causal to the defects and / or damage arising, is
borne by the person and/or company responsible for the installation and /
or conversion, or by the customer.

Functions

• Built-in electronic circuit for operation with a conventio-
nal DC power pack (max. ±12 volts), Trix Systems,
Trix Selectrix or NMRA DCC digital systems.
• Automatic system recognition between digital and analog
operation.
• The full range of functions is only available under
Trix Systems and under DCC.
• Built-in headlights that change over with the direction of
travel. They can be turned on and off in digital operation.
Note: When in direct current operation, never switch too quickly from forward
to reverse travel (and vice versa). Always first move the control knob to the 0
position for a brief moment, then set the speed for the opposite direction.

Notes on digital operation

• The first time the locomotive is used in a digital system
(Selectrix or DCC), the decoder must be set for this digital
system. To do this, the decoder must be programmed once
in this digital system (Example: changing an address).
• Address set at the factory: DCC 3/Sx 3
• The setting done at the factory does not permit operation
with opposite polarity DC power in the braking block.
If you want this characteristic, you must do without
conventional DC power operation (CV 29 / Bit 2 = 0).
• Trouble-free programming of the decoder can only be
guaranteed when it is done with original Trix Selectrix
components.
