Intellibox Basic

Pushing the speed knob during driving will stop the loco first
(emergency stop). Then the direction will be changed.
DC style knob
The DC Style mode works like a DC speed control device for DC
two rail systems.
Using the DC style, turning clockwise the speed
knob starting from a zero speed level will increase
the speed of the loco in forward direction. Turning
the speed knob counterclockwise will decrease the
speed until the zero speed level is reached. A
further turn of the knob will reverse the direction of
the loco and will increase the speed in reverse
direction. If the max. speed level is reached, further turns of the
knob in the same direction will not cause any change.
A slight push on the speed knob will stop the loco immediately by
emergency stop.
Preset
The unit is shipped with the AC style controller mode active. This
can be changed in the Intellibox Basic Settings menu (see chapter
4.5.2).
The display of the vehicle speed can be selected between the direct
reading in speed steps and percent of the maximum speed (see
Basic Settings).
3.4.2 The [f1] [f2] [f3] [f4] keys
These keys are used to switch locomotive special functions, like
special lighting, horn or smoke generator.
Together with [lok#/f+] key some DCC decoders can switch
functions f5 to f12 in that [off/f+4] and [f0/f+8] are used as shift keys
(see chapter 5.2).
3.4.3 The [f0 / f+8] and [off / f+4] Keys
These are used for switching the locomotive lighting on and off.
They are also used together with the [lock#/f+] key as shift keys, in
order to reach functions f5 to f12 on some DCC decoders.
3.4.4 The [lok# / f+] Key
Used as the first key for inputting the desired locomotive address for
the respective control panel.
If a vehicle is already selected, then by pressing the [lok#/f+] and
[menu] key one after other you get to the menu for changing the
data format for the particular decoder.
Together with the shift keys [off/f+4] and [f0/f+8] functions f5 to f12
can be switched on some DCC decoders (see chapter 5.2).
If the [lok#/f+] key is pressed twice in quick succession one gets to
the menu for numeric input of the special function numbers 0 to
9999 (see chapter 5.2).
