With recent m83s, you can control lights and other things. See the manual for modes you can set. |

The manual that shipped with the early variants of the m83.1(=60831 =white) was a singular reference covering normal turnout/signal (pulsed pair) operation as well as the information needed to control ports individually Later in their run, Marklin extracted the "too technical info" into a second manual that may be downloaded but is not shipped with the item https://static.maerklin....944bb018ed1434541774.pdfThe same applies for the m83.2(=60832 = black) https://static.maerklin....377f3df7281570606458.pdfWhile the m83.2 introduced the ability configure(not operate) with mFX, it also had a significant feature over the m83.1 in that you could set it to 8=port mode , meaning you can distinctly turn each of the 8 ports on and off. The m83.1 could do this but it was a toggle/pulse of the individual Red and Green aspects of an address. e.g. pressing the button for 1G can toggle the port on, predding 1G again will turn it off. note: as such the controller could not reliably know if the port was on or off. When using the ports individually they had configurable settings, very similar to those of a locomotive decoder. e.g. blink, double blink, mars, flicker etc |
