Remote control MFplus

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 TBS-Micro 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 800 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

Functions of the keys

Function of the connector

Charge connection

The charging connector is intended for 9-12 Volt power supply

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 see also 'IR-LED'
