HE MASTER
AND
If a multiMAUS is plugged into the master connection on the amplifi er, it automatically becomes the mas-
ter. This multiMAUS is then the higher order instance – the central control unit – in the digital system. In
order to be able to use all functions without restrictions, you should only connect the multiMAUS to this
connection on the amplifi er.
Only one device at a time can be connected to the master connection of the amplifi er!
All the multiMAUS/Lokmaus devices connected to the slave socket on the amplifi er or any other devices auto-
matically have the status of slave. If the master Lokmaus is removed, an immediate emergency stop is triggered.

If a locomotive is already controlled by another mouse connected to the system, the locomotive sym-
bol fl ashes. The locomotive can still be taken over by another mouse at any time if either a function is
selected or the controller is activated. However, the speed and direction of travel of the locomotive remain
unchanged until the controller on the mouse taking over the control is activated. The functions activated
in the locomotive are displayed by all mice.

OMBINATION OF DIGITAL AND NON
Fleischmann locos with DCC-decoders can be driven on both digital and "normal" direct current systems
without any complications. The locomotive decoder automatically detects the type of system it is on. It is
therefore simple to use both types of systems together so that you can still use non-digital locomotives on
the direct current section of the system.
Separator module Roco 10768
The digital and analogue sections of your systems need to be insulated (by use of insulated rail joiners) on
both sides at the change-over turnout so that there is no electrical connection between the two systems.
For this purpose you can use either the insulating track connectors 6433 (H0) or 9403 (N).
The wheels of the vehicles would however still cause a short circuit between the digital and normal cur-
rent which could in turn destroy the booster. To prevent this, install either the Roco separator module in
the supply line of the normal drive transformer to the feeder track, or a change-over track section (see fi g.
4 on page 63) which you may optionally feed (e.g. with a switch) with either one of the current systems.
The Roco separator module immediately breaks the connection between the normal transformer and the
feeder track when the border between the systems is run over. Thus the short circuit detection does not
switch off the multiMAUS and the train can pass the separating point.
At the change-over from digital to direct current operation the locomotive decoder immediately detects the
operating mode and sets the speed of the locomotive to the respective voltage. The decoder also checks
the polarity of the direct current during the change-over. If it does not match the direction of travel, the
train stops with the programmed braking delay. If the train is to travel on further, you must fi rst set the
transformer controller to zero and start the train again.
The decoder acts in the same way when making the change-over in the opposite direction. It retrieves the
digital information in the digital circuit immediately and continues to travel accordingly. The locomotive
decoder also checks the direction of travel in this case and stops the train with the programmed braking
delay if it does not match the actual direction of the current. You now have to change the direction of the
train with the multiMAUS in order for it to travel any further
A change-over section of track
The simple switching method using the Roco 10768 separator module described above has one minor
disadvantage if there are several trains in the conventional section of the system:
The entire conventional area is supplied with digital current when the train jumps the separating point.
This causes all normal locomotives to stop and all digital locomotives to retrieve their digital information
and behave accordingly at that moment.
