Electric loco 111 of Deutsche Bundesbahn DB was purchased for fast passenger service on main lines. The four traction motors develop 3620 kW and enable the loco to reach 160 km/h. For consist use with heavy Intercity trains some locos received new pantographs. Some years ago all of the locos were given to DB Regio for push-pull operation. Engineer/driver mode:
F4 - Pantograph up / down (only available in Engineer/driver mode). Engineer/driver mode switch on with CV170 = 1, Engineer/driver mode switch off with CV170 = 0)
The Engineer/driver mode serves as a prototypical control of the train. The realistic start up process and the current-dependent processes are activated.
***Please note! In Engineer/driver mode, the train only reacts when the pantograph is up***
Heavy load operation:
F5 - Activates heavy load operation. The acceleration now takes noticeably longer and the electric motors work harder.
Braking functions:
F12 - Brake function 1 with brake fan sound. Downhill simulation (speed reduction with CV179 and CV182 adjustable). Train significantly reduces the speed.
F17 - Brake function 2 with brake valve sound. Trains brakes to a standstill.
Radiator fan automatic:
F15 - In standstill and radiator fan button off:
1 x press = radiator fan step winter / 3 x short press = radiator fan step summer / 2 x short press = stop radiator fan run-on after driving while stationary. If radiator fan button is permanently active = radiator fan remains in radiator fan step winter until button is switched off.
F15 - While driving and radiator fan button on: Radiator Fan button pressed = radiator fan step winter or summer (depending on the speed or forced activation) remains switched on and the button is switched off. Press twice = switch from radiator fan step winter to radiator fan step summer (depending on the speed or forced activation)
*** Attention: After switching on while driving from radiator fan step winter to summer, the step summer remains switched on until radiator fan function is switched off! ***
Deactivate braking Sound:
F27 - Deactivates brake squeal Sound when the train stops. (4 different brake squeal sounds with CV165 value 0-3 selectable)
F14 - Station Announcement #1: Announcements selectable via CV169: (0=randomized Announcement, 1=Ulm, 2=Cologne, 3=Mainz, 4=Munich, 5=Mannheim, 6=Salzburg, 7=Stuttgart, 8=Dortmund, 9=Duisburg, 10=Augsburg)
