The Keyboard enables you to control and manage all turnouts, signals, turntables, and transfer tables; a total of 320 or 2,048 addresses are available for use. Controlling Standard Turnouts and Signals Turntable All addresses for the protocol being used are available immediately after the Central Station has booted up and can be controlled using the standard control surface (see illustrations).

Checking Accessory Function 15.1 If the turnouts/signals are connected to k 83 decoders (item nos. 6083 or 60830) and the turnout/signal setting does not correspond to the display, then the blue wires for the connection in question must be swapped. If the solenoid accessory does not operate despite the correct address, please check the wires at the track connection.

Programming Professional Quality Color Light Signals. With a signal with more than 2 aspects other signal aspects will alternately blink. The individual steps for these signals can be found in examples further down in the text. No locomotives may be run during the programming procedure. Please note that the programming procedure will be stopped if there are no entries made within 30 seconds.

Setting up a Layout. The Layout level of control on the Central Station simplifi es setting up and operating solenoid accessories and routes on a model railroad later on. After a Layout has been set up, turnouts, signals, or routes can be activated by pressing on a symbol. Several Layout pages can be constructed in a Central Station. We recommend that you set up the appropriate items on your keyboard before setting up the Layouts page.

Setting up a Route. The “Memory“ part of the Central Station is used to set up and operate routes on a model railroad. Sixteen Memory windows are available for this function. We recommend that you set up the appropriate items on your Memorys before setting up the Layouts page. Routes are used so that you can activate several solenoid accessories with the press of a single button.
