Märklin HO Class 218 Diesel Locomotive 39216

Safety Notes

This locomotive is to be used only with an operating system designed for it (Märklin AC, Märklin Delta, Märklin Digital or DCC).

Use only switched mode power supply units and transformers that are designed for your local power system.

This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one transformer.

Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating system.

The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference with radio and television reception, when the locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The 74046 interference suppression set is to be used for this purpose. For digital operation, the 74046 interference suppression set is not suitable.

Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme changes in temperature, or high humidity.

WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation. The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 according to Standard EN 60825-1.

Note on Digital Protocols:

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: MM

If two or more digital protocols are recognized on the track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest value digital protocol. For example, if mfx & MM are recognized, the mfx digital protocol is taken on by the decoder. Individual protocols can be deactivated with Parameter CV 50.
