Multimaus Compatibility - All Useable Devices; Using Locomotives Without A Digital Decoder And Multimaus - roco multiMAUS Handbuch

multiMAUS Compatibility – all useable devices
1. Previous Lokmaus systems
All ROCO digital devices which are based on X-BUS technology can be combined with the multiMAUS.
These include:
multiZENTRALE
▪
Lokmaus 2 / PowerMouse / Lokmaus R3: 10760 / 10790 / 10860 / 10792,
▪
amplifiers 10761 and 10764,
▪
boosters 10762 and 10765,
▪
interface 10785,
▪
transformers 10718 and 10725,
▪
ROCO feeder tracks 42517 (RocoLine), 61190 (Roco geoLINE),
▪
and all ROCO add-on devices.
2. Add-on devices and decoders
The multiMAUS is compatible with X-BUS systems e.g. the Lenz Digital Plus System (X-BUS and Xpress-
Net) and the HKE digital system. For more detailed information on connecting the multiMAUS to these
systems, contact the respective manufacturer or consult a specialist or local dealer.
On a system controlled by the multiMAUS, you can use not only locomotives with ROCO locomotive
decoders but also vehicles with decoders from other manufacturers, as long as they are in line with the
NMRA / DCC standards.
Even locomotives made by other manufacturers can be equipped with ROCO decoders if the necessary
room for installation is available. See the operating manual for the respective decoder.

Using Locomotives without a Digital decoder and multiMAUS

Do not use locomotives without a decoder with the multiMAUS. The locomotive has a completely differ-
ent voltage supply and would cause very disruptive, high frequency noise. There is also a danger that the
motors would become damaged.
It is imperative that you do not connect a normal transformer on the same circuit parallel to the digital
controller. This could destroy the Z21!
You can also equip existing locomotives with a locomotive decoder. This is a quick and easy process when
using ROCO locomotives with a digital interface because the decoder simply has to be plugged into a
socket inside the locomotive. You do not need to perform any mechanical work on these locomotives
because the space for the decoder is already provided. Instructions on how to install a decoder are also
included in the manuals for these locomotives.
Even locomotives made by other manufacturers can be equipped with ROCO decoders if the necessary
room for installation is available. If they are equipped with a digital interface the conversion is just as
easy as with a ROCO locomotive. If you wish to install the 10745 load-controlled locomotive decoder, the
locomotive will require a direct current motor or the existing all-current motor will need to be converted
to direct current before installation.
