Dimming depending on the velocity
You can automatically switch functions depending on the velocity when
reaching a speed level defined in a CV. You assign an individual voltage
to the function outputs for the ranges of speed levels underneath and
above the defined speed level. This allows for example to switch on and
off the high beam light, to control the cab light or to influence the
intensity of the steam output.
Shunting function
You can assign the shunting gear and the shunting light to the same funtion
key. That way you switch on the shunting light automatically when
switching into the shunting gear (and thus reducing the velocity).
Special function for speed level 0
By programming the special function for speed level 0 you can switch
on or off several function outputs and functions at the same time, you
otherwise had to switch singularly. This allows e.g. to switch off several
lights at once when parking a locomotive in the depot (e.g. front and
back lights, cab light and undercarriage light).
Automatic coupling and decoupling
With an appropriate CV-programming you can release coupling and
decoupling operations automatically with one function key. In order to
use the automatic coupling function you have to assign one function
key to each of the directions "forward" and "backward". In order to
couple the locomotive drives with the velocity set in a CV against the
carriage to be coupled. As soon as the assigned switching input has
been connected to earth (e.g. via a current transmitting coupling), the
locomotive stops. After having coupled, the primary driving direction is
set again.
For decoupling the locomotive first runs a small distance against the set
driving direction, in order to relieve the coupling. The function output
connected to the coupling is switched on. In order to prevent the
