Frequently Asked Questions - 22062 LGB

Which digital protocols are supported by the LGB 22062 locomotive?

The locomotive supports the mfx, DCC and DC analog protocols. The multiprotocol decoder automatically selects the priority protocol (mfx > DCC > DC).

Can I use the locomotive in simple analog mode?

Yes, the decoder automatically detects analog DC voltage (0-24 V). Sound functions are not activated by default in analog mode, but can be configured via CV.

How do I program the DCC address of the locomotive?

In DCC mode, the factory address is 03. You can program a short address (1-127) via CV 1 or a long address (1-10239) via CV 17/18. Selection is made by bit 5 of CV 29.

What is the procedure to replace the traction tire?

Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the old tire from the wheel groove. Gently push the new tire (ref. E236 355) into place and verify it is properly seated in the groove.

How do the locomotive's pantographs work?

The pantographs are electronically controlled. Depending on the direction of travel, the rear pantograph raises and the front one lowers automatically (function 7). You can also control them manually with function 3. Do not manipulate them by hand.

What sound effects are available and how to trigger them?

The locomotive offers various sounds: whistle (short/long), brake squeal, station announcements, compressor noise, fan, sanding, etc. They are assigned to digital functions (F1 to F23) and can be activated via the control unit or an LGB switch magnet (ref. 17050) for the whistle.

What safety precautions should be observed?

This device is not suitable for children under 15. It contains magnets (lethal if swallowed) and has sharp edges. Use only transformers suitable for mains voltage. Do not use under overhead lines.

What is the recommended minimum curve radius for this locomotive?

The minimum possible radius is R1 (600 mm), but it is recommended to use curve radii above R2 (780 mm) for optimal operation and to avoid optical issues. Articulation reproductions can be mounted for R2 and above.

How to maintain and lubricate the locomotive?

Lubricate the axle bearings from time to time with a drop of Märklin oil (ref. 7149). Replace worn traction tires with reference E236 355. Avoid modifying current-carrying components.

What to do if the locomotive does not respond in digital mode?

Check that the operating mode selector switch (near the bogie) is in position 1. Check the power supply and protocol compatibility. If necessary, reset the decoder with CV 8 = 159 (factory settings).

Functions

• This model is designed for operation on LGB two-rail DC systems with conventional LGB DC train controllers or power packs (DC, 0 – 24 volts).
  • Factory-installed multiple protocol decoder (DC, DCC, mfx).
• The model is programmed with locomotive address 03 for use with the LGB Multi Train System (DCC). The locomotive is automatically recognized in operation with mfx.
• Mfx technology for the Mobile Station/Central Station. Name set at the factory: Ge 6-6 II 707
• The functions can be activated only in parallel. Serial activation of the functions is not possible (Please note here the instructions for your controller).
• For optical reasons we recommend running this locomotive on curves with a radius larger than R1 (>600 mm / 23-2/3"), although running it on R1 is also possible.
• When running on R2 (780 mm / 30-2/3") and larger, the reproduction of the articulation can be mounted on the locomotive (Figure 3 & 4).
• The locomotive cannot be switched to operation from catenary.

Mode of Operation Switch

A 2-position mode of operation switch is built in the locomotive floor on the side next to the truck (Figure 1).

Pos. 0 Locomotive stored with no current on

Pos. 1 Locomotive ready for operation

Sound

The whistle can also be activated with the LGB sound activating magnets (17050).

The activating magnet can be clipped into place between the ties on most sections of LGB track.

Place the logos with the logo on the right side or left side of the track respectively in order to activate a short blast / long blast on the whistle when the locomotive crosses over this spot.

Pantographs

This model is equipped with electronically controlled pantographs. The rear pantograph is raised and the front pantograph is lowered automatically depending on the direction of travel (Function 7). The pantographs can also be optionally raised manually (Function 3). Function F7 is active in analog operation.

The pantograph is powered by a servomotor. The pantograph may not be moved by hand.

The pantographs can be fixed in the lowered position by clipping them into the restraints.

General Note to Avoid Electromagnetic Interference:

A permanent, flawless wheel-rail contact is required in order to guarantee operation for which a model is designed. Do not make any changes to current-conducting parts.

This decoder can also be operated on analog layouts or areas of track that are analog. The decoder recognizes alternating current (DC) and automatically adapts to the analog track voltage. All functions that were set under mfx or DCC for analog operation are active (see Digital Operation).

The built-in sound functions come from the factory inactive for analog operation.

Digital Operation

The decoders are multi-protocol decoders. These decoders can be used under the following digital protocols: mfx or DCC.

The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest order digital protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in descending order is:

Priority 1: mfx; Priority 2: DCC; Priority 3: DC

Note: Digital protocols can influence each other. For trouble-free operation, we recommend deactivating those digital protocols not needed by using CV 50. Deactivate unneeded digital protocols at this CV if your controller supports this function.

If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest order digital protocol, example: mfx/DCC; the decoder takes on the mfx digital protocol (see previous table).

Note: Please note that not all functions are possible in all digital protocols. Several settings for functions, which are supposed to be active in analog operation, can be done under mfx and DCC.

Notes on digital operation

- The operating instructions for your central unit will give you exact procedures for setting the different parameters.

- The values set at the factory have been selected for mfx in order to guarantee the best possible running characteristics.

Adjustments may have to be made for other operating systems.

mfx Protocol

Addresses

• No address is required; each decoder is given a one-time, unique identifier (UID).
• The decoder automatically registers itself on a Central Station or a Mobile Station with its UID-identifier.

Programming

- The characteristics can be programmed using the graphic screen on the Central Station or also partially with the Mobile Station.

- All of the Configuration Variables (CV) can be read and programmed repeatedly.

- The programming can be done either on the main track or the programming track.

- The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.

- Function mapping: Functions can be assigned to any of the function buttons with the help of the 60212 Central Station (with limitations) and with the 60213/60214/60215 Central Station (See help section in the Central Station).

DCC Protocol

Addresses

• Short address – long address – multiple unit address
• Address range:
  1 – 127 for short address and multiple unit address, 1 – 10239 for long address
  • Every address can be programmed manually.
• Short or long address is selected by means of CV 29 (Bit 5).
• A multiple unit address that is being used deactivates the standard address.

Programming

• The characteristics can be changed repeatedly using the Configuration Variables (CV).
• The CV numbers and the CV values are entered directly.
• The CVs can be read and programmed repeatedly. (Programming is done on the programming track.)
• The CVs can be programmed in any order desired. (PoM - Programming can be done on the main track). PoM is not possible with CVs CV 1, 17, 18, and 29. PoM must be supported by your central controller (Please see the description for this unit.).
• The default settings (factory settings) can be produced repeatedly.
• 14 or 28/126 speed levels can be set.
• All of the functions can be controlled according to the function mapping (see CV description).
  • See the CV description for the DCC protocol for additional information.
  We recommend that in general programming should be done on the programming track.

SERVICE

Lubrication

The axle bearings should be lubricated occasionally with a small amount of Märklin-Öl (7149).

Changing Traction Tires (E236 355)

• Remove the old traction tire with a small flat blade screwdriver:
• ift the old traction tire out of the groove in the driving wheel.
• Carefully push the new traction tire over the wheel and insert it into the groove of the wheel.
• Check to make sure that the traction tire is properly seated.
