Connections to the Programming Track
The programming track may not have any direct electrical contact with the layout, nor can it have
additional users (examples: lighting, turnout decoders, light track bumper, etc.) connected to it.
The programming track is required to read out, program, and process locomotive decoders.
The only possible connections are those shown!

Digital Protocols:
The following digital protocols are supported:
Märklin Motorola, mfx,
DCC adhering to NMRA/NEM standards.
Software:
Parts of the software for the Central Station are subject to the software license GPL.
You can get the source code for these software parts at no charge from Märklin, either as a CD or by
downloading a CD image from the Märklin home page.
More complete and updated information can be found on our Internet pages “www.maerklin.com“
If an error or defect should occur, do not open the Central Station. Send the defective unit to the Märklin
Service Department or to one of our service stations listed on our Internet page.
Opening this unit cancels any and all warranty claims. The individual and/or firm or customer responsible
for opening the Central Station bears the burden of proof and demonstration that opening the unit did not
cause the defect that has occurred and/or damages.
Introduction
The fourth generation of Märklin multi-train control systems is now ready with this “Märklin Digital“.
The most important component is the Central Station, which is responsible for the generation of the
correct control data, which carries out the coordination of the components connected to it, and which
also offers an easy-to-use manageable operating surface. Trouble-free operation with this complex
system is only ensured when you use only tested Märklin system components. Märklin‘s manufacturer‘s
warranty therefore becomes invalid if you use any other make of product with the Central Station.
The operator is thereby responsible for damages arising from the use of other makes of products.
Adhere to the techniques and principles presented in this instruction manual when connecting your
layout to the Central Station. The use of other circuits can easily lead to damage to the electronic
components. It is therefore best if you refrain from “expensive“ experiments. The Central Station is
not a toy. Make sure that this device is also used by children only as a controller for a model railroad.
We hope you will have a lot of enjoyment using the Central Station with your model railroad layout.
With this Central Station you have a device that offers you extensive possibilities for controlling your
model railroad. We recommend that you work through the examples presented in this handbook.
You will thereby have a much greater level of reliability in using the Central Station.

Notes for the Central Station
Do not expose the Central Station to moisture.
This Märklin product is not watertight. Malfunctions can occur if there is high humidity or if moisture
gets inside the housing. The corrosion of the internal mechanism and electronics can lead to irrepara-
ble damages.
Do not expose the Central Station to shock.
If this controller is exposed to blows or strong vibrations, the result can be continuous malfunctions.
Do not expose the Central Station to extremes of temperature.
Sudden changes in temperature can cause moisture to condense inside the housing. In order to avoid
condensation buildup, you should keep the Central Station protected andl you should protect it during
transport before you change to a location with much higher or lower temperature.
Do not use force when operating the buttons and control knobs on the Central Station.
Do not use force when operating the buttons and control knobs on the Central Station.
Safekeeping
Do not keep the Central Station in locations where the following unfavorable conditions prevail:
High humidity or bad ventilation.
Temperatures over 50° Centigrade / 122° Fahrenheit (such temperatures can occur for example in direct
sunlight) or under -10° Centigrade / 14° Fahrenheit.
Humidity over 60%.
The humidity must not be greater then that for Central Europe.
Cleaning
Remove lint and dust with a soft, dry or slightly moist cloth. Never use alcohol, thinners or other
strong cleansers.

Selecting and Running
The most frequently used
locomotives are available
for you to select in this list.
All of the locomotives taken by you
into the locomotive list are in this
list for you to select.
You can select from the last
30 locomotives used or you
can expand the selection.
Now you can run the locomotive you have
selected with the control knob or by typing
in the desired speed on the screen.
The functions can be activated by pressing
on the button or by typing in the symbol.
Locomotive with an mfx Decoder
Registering and/or taking into the
locomotive list.
Place your locomotive with an mfx decoder on the programming track. This can also be done while
the layout is in operation. The locomotive registers itself as shown in the following illustrations. The
registration can be done with an icon and locomotive name as well as without. Additional processing
as described starting on Page 48 will be necessary depending on the registration.
mfx locomotive recognized.
Data from the mfx
locomotive completely
read in.
Confirm.
The mfx locomotive is ready to run and
can already be operated.
If it becomes necessary, we recom-
mend that the locomotive be added to
the locomotive list as shown starting
on Page 48.

Tip:
Basically, the decoders can be used in mixed operation. You can decide by address which protocol will be assigned to the latter and which protocol will be supported by the decoder.

Check the settings for the
decoder.
C
If all of the desired settings have
been done, then confirm and save.
You can do other settings that influence the
locomotive‘s running characteristics when
controlled with the Central Station. The settings
can be done in the fields with “-“ or “+“. In our
example: acceleration and braking delay (these
settings affect the Central Station‘s controllers
and are not supported by this type of decoder).
The speedometer setting is for the display on the
Central Station‘s screen and has no influence on
the maximum speed of the locomotive.
If the locomotive is standing on the program-
ming track, you can read out the address for it.
