Introduction
The illuminated multifunctional pushbutton on the
top right of the Commander serves as on / off and
emergency stop key.
You switch the Commander on and off by this illu-
minated pushbutton. Additionally you can activate
two different emergency stop functions to stop all
trains immediately. The respective operating status
of the device is indicated by the pushbutton being
specifically illuminated.
The schedule on the right illustrates the significa-
tion of the different illuminating modes.
Turn on the Commander
Connect the Commander to an appropriate power
supply following the short operating instruction, be-
fore switching on the device .
The Commander can also be operated when not
connected to a layout e.g. in order to update the
software or to draw track diagrams.
To turn the Commander on:
► Press the multifunctional pushbutton on the top
right of the device till it is illuminated green
(approx. 1-2 seconds).
The display will be illuminated and the Commander
boots up the software. The display indicates vari-
ous program starting modes.
The Commander shows the actually installed soft-
ware version on the top right of the display.
The Commander takes approx. 15 seconds to boot
up. After that the Commander will show a pre-pro-
grammed starting displaying mode. You will find
more information about the various system set-ups
and the starting mode options in chapter 2.6.2.
Turn off the Commander
Never switch off the Commander by simply cutting
off the power supply. A loss of data may occur.
Always execute a proper shut down using the mul-
tifunctional pushbutton. You can cut the power sup-
ply afterwards, e.g. by a multi plug socket outlet
(power strip) with on / off switch.
