4.1. Loco mode
The display shows the symbol, the name, the address, the speed and the driving direction of the
currently controlled locomotive.
The lighting and up to 8 special functions can directly be controlled via the numeric keypad. While
operating in DCC mode, 32.768 special functions can be activated for each loco address.
All locomotives can be controlled with the large rotary encoder wheel. When switching to another
locomotive, the intelligent controller without an end stop automatically takes over the speed of the new
locomotive. You can switch between DC and AC driving mode.
4.2. DC driving mode
The DC mode recreates the control of a locomotive on an analog two-wired DC system.
Operating principle of the DC driving mode
While operating in the DC driving mode, you can increase the speed in one direction, by turning
the encoder wheel to the right, starting at a speed of zero. If you turn the wheel to the left the
speed decreases until your train comes to a halt. If you keep turning the wheel of the PIKO
SmartController
light
to the left, the loco will start to accelerate into the other opposite direction.
If the top speed is reached, further turning of the wheel has no effect. While in this operating mode, a
gentle press on the wheel will stop the vehicle immediately.
