2. System description
The mobile controller – PIKO SmartControl
®
The wireless PIKO SmartController
®
gives you the ability to select and control trains, switches and
signals just by touching the high-resolution display with your ngertip.
Thanks to the Android operating system, the handling is as simple and intuitive as using your
smartphone.
Easy to understand symbols directly display the available functions. A big metal knob which you
could use with your eyes closed allows for precise speed control. As you switch to another loco it
will automatically readjust to the current loco’s speed. The mechanics will not be damaged if for any
reason the motion of the wheel is blocked.
You can enter names for switches and accessories in the same way you can name locos.
For easy separation of the different items you also can add symbols.
CV-programming and all system conguration can easily be managed with the touch display.
The controller can be easily charged via USB during breaks.
Notice:
The PIKO SmartController
®
can only be used in conjunction with the PIKO SmartBox
®
, that transfers
all commands for locos and accessories to the track.
You can use up to 32 PIKO SmartControl
®
devices with a PIKO SmartBox
