UPGRADE
TO
HM7000
REVOLUTIONARY
NEW
CONTROL
SYSTEM
The
new
HM7000
Control
System
brings
layouts
to
life
via
the
free
to
download
app.
Bluetooth
technology
streamlines
a
range
of
power,
control
and
sound
options,
all
at
the
touch
of
a
fingertip.
The
Hornby
HM7000
system
is
a
revolutionary
step
forward
in
digital
model
railway
control.
Bluetooth
technology
enables
fast,
wireless,
and
consistent
control
of
locomotives.
For
example,
with
HM7000
you
can
change
a
locomotive's
settings
while
running
on
the
track,
which
is
impossible
with
other
DCC
systems.
Furthermore,
it
will
be
possible
in
the
future
with
app
updates
to
add
additional
features
to
the
locomotive's
decoder
as
the
system
progresses.
We
have
all
the
adapters,
decoders
and
products
needed

UPGRADE
PATHS
No
matter
your
current
set
up,
Hornby
has
made
upgrading
to
the
new
HM7000
Control
System
easy.
Whether
you
are
simply
a
beginner
with
a
train
set
or
an
advanced
model
railway
fan
with
conventional
controls,
there
are
many
ways
to
upgrade
to
a
revolutionary
new
way
to
control
and
operate
your
model
railway.
HM6000
>
HM7000:
To
convert
an
HM6000
layout
to
HM7000
control
there
are
just
six
simple
steps
that
need
to
be
taken:
-
Step
1:
Download
the
free
HM|DCC
app
onto
a
suitable
smart
'phone
or
tablet.
-
Step
2:
Choose
a
locomotive
to
operate
on
DCC
and
install
the
appropriate
decoder.
-
Step
3:
Link
the
locomotive
to
the
smart
device
which
has
the
HM|DC
app
already
installed.
-
Step
4:
Fit
DCC
clips
to
all
points
and
remove
all
non
DCC
fitted
locomotives
from
the
layout.
-
Step
5:
Using
the
HM|DC
app,
alter
the
PWM
frequency
to
'Highest'
and
slide
acceleration
control
should
be
moved
to
full
power.
-
Step
6:
Switch
to
the
HM|DCC
app
and
the
HM7000
fitted
locomotive
can
now
be
operated.
HM|DC
>
HM7000:
As
with
other
connections,
the
HM7000
app
will
need
to
be
downloaded
onto
a
preferred
smart
device.
The
chosen
locomotive
or
locomotives
will
each
require
the
fitting
of
a
suitable
Hornby
Bluetooth
enabled
decoder.
Power
to
the
track
can
be
via
a
suitable
Hornby
1A,
1.2A
or
4A
transformer.
>
To
link
the
transformer
to
the
Hornby
Power
Track
it
is
necessary
to
connect
an
HM7020
Power
Supply
Adapter
Harness
between
the
transformer
lead
and
the
track.
Once
power
is
connected
it
is
then
possible
to
link
the
Hornby
Bluetooth
enabled
locomotives
to
the
smart
device
and
operations
can
begin.
DCC
>
HM7000:
Already
using
DCC?
Simply
download
the
free
HM|DCC
app
on
a
selected
smart
device.
The
locomotive(s)
must
be
fitted
with
a
suitable
Hornby
Bluetooth
enabled
decoder
and
paired
with
the
smart
device.
Once
this
process
is
completed
those
models
can
now
be
controlled
using
the
smart
device.
All
other
locomotives
can
be
controlled
using
the
existing
DCC
unit
only.
Conventional
DCC
Controller
>
HM7000:
It
is
possible
for
all
locomotives
fitted
with
either
a
Hornby
HM7000
or
conventional
decoders
to
be
operated
using
the
HM|DCC
Bluetooth
system
via
a
smart
device.
To
do
this,
an
HM7040
Legacy
Dongle
must
be
plugged
into
the
RJ12
socket
of
an
existing
DCC
Base
Station,
such
as
can
be
found
on
the
Hornby
'Elite'
or
'Select'.
Having
connected
the
Legacy
Dongle,
ALL
locomotives
can
be
controlled
either
by
a
smart
device
or
the
Base
Station,
however
only
those
fitted
with
an
HM7000
type
decoder
can
have
their
CV
settings
changed
while
remaining
on
the
layout.
All
other
models
must
have
their
CVs
changed
in
the
conventional
way.
Please
Note:
-
You
must
have
a
compatible
phone/tablet/device
in
order
to
install
and
use
the
free
app,
with
bluetooth
functionality
vital.
