23. 1 Introduction The third generation of Marklin multi train control systems is now ready with Marklin Systems The Central Station represents the most important component for this It is responsible for generating the correct control data it manages the coordination of the components connected to the system and also offers an easy to use manageable control surface Furthermore this Central Station with Update offers additional functions such as shuttle train control routes feedback module and much more The update can be downloaded from either the Internet page for Marklin www maerklin de or it can be done by your local authorized dealer or by the Marklin Service Department Trouble free operation with this complex system is only guaranteed when you use tested Marklin System components and nothing else Any use of other makes of products with Marklin Systems will invali date the manufacturer s warranty from Marklin Damages arising from the use of other makes of products is therefore the responsibility of the operator When connecting the Central Station and other components to your layout follow the techniques and principles contained in these instructions The use of other circuits may easily lead to damage to the electronic components It is best if you refrain from expensive experiments The Central Station is not a toy Make sure that this unit is used by children only as a controller for model trains We hope and trust
