Info: Temperature
Heating of the central unit during operation is normal and harmless. Under permanent full
load, i.e. if the integrated booster supplies more than 6 A of current for a longer period of
time, the temperature can reach up to 75 °C.
Notice:
To prevent the mc² from overheating, you must ensure that a distance of at least 20 cm to
surrounding surfaces is maintained on the side surfaces and the top and rear of the mc².
If a high temperature is reached at low load, the mc² probably has a defect.
Notice:
If you notice overheating and suspect a defect in the mc² as the cause, disconnect the
central unit from the supply voltage immediately. Fire hazard! Send the mc² in for testing.
Saving and loading system settings
The configurations for the boosters, the protocols, the accessory decoders and the feedback
modules are saved in the file with the system settings. For the vehicle decoders, only the
standard format and purging are saved.
You can save and load the vehicle database ("locomotive list") separately in the menu item
"System / Vehicles".
Tip: When you have finished configuring your mc², you should save the system settings. You
can then load the settings again if the internal fixed memory of the mc² (the so-called "flash")
is damaged, e.g. in the event of a power failure.
