Braking distances
The decoder is able to automatically brake the locomotive in brake sections which are not digital,
but which are either supplied with a direct current or with an alternating current (Märklin brake
section). The decoder is to be adjusted with CV programming before a reaction to these sections
is possible.
First of all, the normal analogue operation has to be deactivated in CV29, i.e. Bit 2 is set at zero
(0) or the value 4 is deducted from the total value of the CV (the works value was 14).
The braking distances detection (direct current) also needs to be activated in CV124 Bit 5=1
(value 32). If the Märklin braking distance with alternating current should be used, this is to be
additionally activated using CV112 Bit 6=1 (value 64).
Special Functions
Decoupling
This locomotive is fitted with couplers which can be electrically decoupled from the decoder. Both
of the couplers are activated simultaneously using the F1 function key. The CV116 can be used to
adjust a “coupling roller“, i.e. when at a standstill, the locomotive is able to automatically move
away from the carriage (commence travel in the same direction as the carriage which is being pul-
led) or it can also be briefly pushed against the carriage (e.g. travel in reverse briefly).

116 “Coupling roller“ Moving away: the moving away duration is
set for 0-5 sec by means of values of 0-9 in
the decimal position.
The moving away speed is set with values
of 0-9 in the unit position (multiplied by 4),
based on 128 driving stages.
The automatic pushing before decoupling
can be deactivated in the hundreds positi-
on with the value 0 and activated with the
value 1.
