Safety Notes

• This locomotive is only to be used with the operating
system it is designed for.
• Analog max. 15 volts DC, digital max. 22 volts AC.
• This locomotive 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
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.
• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme
changes in temperature, or high humidity.

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.
• Maintenance, servicing, and repairs may only be done by
adults.
• Please see your authorized Trix dealer for repairs or

spare parts.

• The warranty card included with this product specifies
the warranty conditions.
• Disposing: www.maerklin.com/en/imprint.html
• 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.
• Minimum radius for operation is 360 mm/14-3/16".
• A smoke generator can be retrofitted to the locomotive -
also for analog operation.

Multi-Protocol Operation

Analog Operation
This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or ar-
eas of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes alter-
nating current (DC) and automatically adapts to the analog
track voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC
for analog operation are active (see Digital Operation).
Digital Operation
The decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders
can be used under the following digital protocols: mfx or DCC.
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: DC
Note: Digital protocols can influence each other. For trouble-
free operation, we recommend deactivating those digital
protocols not needed by using CV 50. Deactivate unneeded
digital protocols at this CV if your controller supports this
function.
If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track,
the decoder automatically takes on the highest order digital
protocol, example: mfx/DCC; the decoder takes on the mfx
digital protocol (see previous table).
Note: Please note that not all functions are possible in all
digital protocols. Several 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 parame-
ters.
• The values set at the factory were selected to guarantee
the best possible running characteristics.
• 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).
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.
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 buttons 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.
• A short or a long address is selected using the CVs.
• 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. (Pro-
gramming is done on the programming track.)
• The CVs can be programmed in any order desired. (Pro-
gramming can be done on the main track PoM). The PoM
can only be done with those designated in the CV table.
Programming on the main track PoM must be supported
by your central controller (Please see the description for
this unit.).
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced
repeatedly.
• 14/28 or 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
