Remote control MFplus
Available since August 2017, based on a completely new chip.

Description
The remote control combines the functions of a Function module with the convenience of a remote control.
This makes it possible to operate DC-Car cars wirelessly at any location.
The MFplus is the successor to the 28plus and can now also control the multi- function outputs of the decoder.
Functions
Keys provide access to 28 commands that the remote control transmits via two IR LEDs.

The range is about 100 cm.
All vehicles, which are within reach of the remote control, are operated.
So independent of their digital DCC address.
Note: functions based on a digital address, such as the sound functions of the realsound / Micro sound or servo functions, can not be operated with the remote control.
This also applies to the operation of the warning sign of the construction site decoder, as described in this Construction site vehicles is installed.
A DCC station is required for this.
MS2, Lokmaus, DIGI1 or similar.
Charging
The remote control is equipped with 750 mAh batteries with charging connection and can be used for a long time without charging.
Nevertheless, it must occasionally be recharged.
A 9-12 Volt DC voltage is required for this. This can be a commonly available AC adapter
The charging current is limited by means of resistors in the remote control.
The + should be on the middle connection of the jack plug
The - sits on the outside
From 01-01-2020 we have integrated a ON OFF switch which is found under the cover at the back.
This version is charged when the switch is set to the OFF position!
Functions of the keys
Function of the connector
Charge connection
The charging connector is intended for 9-12 Volt power supply.
Remote controls produced after 01-01-2020 need to be switched OFF with the switch under the rear cover!
LED Tester
In contrast, this charging connector can supply a small current that allows safe testing of LEDs
Continuity tester
The connection can also be used as a transit tester The LED test function is retained, however the test LED on the remote control now indicates whether there is a continuity This makes IR LED easy to test. Connections or short circuits are shown by the test LED.
IR Tester
A plug with phototransistor can also be connected to the connentor
The LED on the remote control flickers when (infrared) light falls on the phototransistor
The IR signals from the DC-Car-System can therefore be investigated.
- Do the IR LEDs work on the rear of the vehicle?
- Do IR LEDs work on the job?
This makes the remote control a versatile tool when building vehicles and installing the DC-Car controller
