Intellibox Basic

• If the Intellibox is in the "STOP" state (the red LED above the stop

key is lit), the STOP key must be held pressed and

simultaneously the GO key must be pressed and released again.

Now the track power is switched on and all locomotives stop.

• If the Intellibox is in the "GO" state (the green LED above the GO

key is lit), the GO key must be kept pressed and simultaneously

the STOP key must be pressed and released again. Now the

track power remains switched on and all locomotives stop.

• If the Intellibox is in the "halt condition" the green LED above the

GO key flashes. In the display for the locomotives the old speed

setting remains and to indicate the "halt state" the display of the

travel direction alternates with the "=" to symbol.

3.4 The Control Panel

Locomotives can be selected and controlled with the control panel.

The Intellibox has two independent control panels. They are on the

left and right side of the control unit.

Digital decoders with different data formats can be addressed and

operated at the same time.

The control panels also operate during programming or during the

changes of the presets.

3.4.1 The Speed Knobs

The speed control knob changes the locomotive speed and driving

direction. With the rotating knob without end stop, the Intellibox

automatically goes to the stored speed of the selected locomotive

when the locomotive is changed.

The speed controller has two different operating modes:

The AC style knob

The AC Style mode works like an old-fashioned three rail AC

controller.

Using the AC style, the speed will always be

increased while turning the knob clockwise and

will be decreased while turning the knob

counterclockwise. If the max. speed or the speed

zero is reached, a further turn of the knob in the

same direction has no effect. The max. speed or

the speed zero will be maintained.

A slight push on to the speed knob will reverse the direction of the

loco.
