PIKO SmartControllight is a digital control system for aspiring model railway beginners and experts. It
consists of the hand controller PIKO SmartControllerlight and the digital central station
PIKO SmartBoxlight which are connected via the enclosed spiral cable.
With PIKO SmartControllight you can control DCC locomotives (Digital Command Control is the most
popular data format for the digital control of DC model railways, signals and turnouts), switch magnetic
accessories (e.g. turnouts) and activate routes. It masters everything the model railway enthusiast
needs for a comfortable operation of digital model railways.
The PIKO SmartControllerlight is the intelligent hand controller for the PIKO SmartControllight system.
By using a PIKO Lok-Net converter it can also be used as an additional corded hand controller for the
PIKO SmartControl system or other digital central stations with LocoNet®.
1. PIKO SmartControllight basics
The digital central station PIKO SmartBoxlight is the heart of the PIKO SmartControllight system. It
coordinates and processes all commandos according to their relative importance. It generates the DCC
track signal and establishes the connection to the hand controller. With the PIKO SmartControllerlight
you can control the PIKO digital central station. You can control locomotives, switch magnetic
accessories and activate routes of the digital central station. It is connected to the LocoNet®-T port of
the digital central station via the enclosed spiral cable.
1.1.Features
• With the PIKO digital central station you can individually and simultaneously control up to
20 locomotives.
• The digital central station supports the DCC data format with 14, 28, und 128 speed steps.
• You can individually set the data format for 9.999 locomotive addresses.
• You can control up to 24 special functions for each locomotive address.
• With the digital central station from PIKO you can control up to 2.048 magnetic ac-cessories
with DCC data format, for example turnouts and signals.
• The states of the magnetic accessory addresses 1-1.024 are permanently saved, so that
they are displayed correctly after a reboot of the system.
• The PIKO SmartControllerlight can memorize up to 16 different routes (each route can
include numerous switching sequences)
• Every route can switch between the magnetic accessory no. 1 to 2.048 in up to 10 steps.
• The output of the main track of the digital station supplies a current of 2 A and is protected
against short circuits and overheating. This allows the simultaneous oper-ation of up to 4
trains (depending on the used scale) without having to use any additional boosters.
• The digital central station is equipped with an extra output for a programming track with a
maximum current of 250 mA. During programming the output of the main track is
switched off
• With the PIKO digital central station you can program DCC decoder as well as pro-
grammable LocoNet® devices.
• The station also has a special output for a turning loop relay.
• The PIKO digital central station is equipped with two LocoNet® ports at the back.

1.2. Ports
The PIKO digital central station is equipped with ports for a main track, a programming track, a turning
loop relay and further Loco-Net® devices as well as a port for the power supply.

If you purchased the PIKO SmartControllight as part of a PIKO SmartControllight starter sets, you can
directly start playing due to the plug and play character of the sets. All traction units of the starter sets
are already incorporated into the PIKO SmartControllerlight .
3. The control elements of the PIKO SmartControllerlight
Overview
Display
Clearly structured high denition display that shows the symbol of the current operating mode and the
locomotive or base address at the top of the display. In the middle it shows basic information about
the currently controlled locomotive and at the bottom you can nd information about the switching
functions, depending on the chosen mode.
The display clearly shows all the information about the locomotive, the speed, the driving direction and
the state of the locomotive’s special functions or of the currently chosen operating mode (e. g. position
of the switches in the turnout mode).

Speed regulator
The hand controller is equipped with a rotary encoder wheel to control the speed, the driving direction,
the emergency stop of the locomotive and to choose the locomotive’s data set as well as the symbols
and their position in the name of the locomotive.
The following part describes the different keys of the controller:

4. Operating the PIKO SmartControllerlight
4.1. Loco mode
The display shows the symbol, the name, the address, the speed and the driving direction of the
currently controlled locomotive.
The lighting and up to 8 special functions can directly be controlled via the numeric keypad. While
operating in DCC mode, 32.768 special functions can be activated for each loco address.
All locomotives can be controlled with the large rotary encoder wheel. When switching to another
locomotive, the intelligent controller without an end stop automatically takes over the speed of the new
locomotive. You can switch between DC and AC driving mode.
4.2. DC driving mode
The DC mode recreates the control of a locomotive on an analog two-wired DC system.
Operating principle of the DC driving mode
While operating in the DC driving mode, you can increase the speed in one direction, by turning
the encoder wheel to the right, starting at a speed of zero. If you turn the wheel to the left the
speed decreases until your train comes to a halt. If you keep turning the wheel of the PIKO
SmartControllerlight to the left, the loco will start to accelerate into the other opposite direction.
If the top speed is reached, further turning of the wheel has no effect. While in this operating mode, a
gentle press on the wheel will stop the vehicle immediately.
