4.3. AC driving mode
The AC driving mode recreates the control of a locomotive on an analog three-wired AC system.
While operating in the AC mode, you can increase the speed by turning the encoder wheel to the right
and decrease it by turning it to the left. If the top speed or a speed of zero is reached, further turning of
the wheel has no effect. To switch the driving
direction, you have to gently press down on the encoder wheel of the
PIKO SmartController
light
. If you press on the wheel while the train is moving, the locomotive stops
immediately. After the emergency stop you can then change the driv-ing direction.
