Only use the fully symmetrical cable with identical plugs on both ends, DO NOT use the
cable with a coloured plug on one side (which may be part of the start set).
General information:

1.
Initial start-up of a ZIMO system
The ZIMO system usually is delivered as
“start set”
.
There are different variations; here we refer
to a start set with at least the following con-
tents:
1 central command station
MX10
1 controller
MX32 or MX32FU
1 power supply unit
with 30 V / 240 W or
more; various plugs, CAN cable,
Power cable (depending on the country
you maybe need an adapter or a replace-
ment).
Additionally, the most important
connections
have to be made with
the existing material:
-
The controller (one of the two sockets) has to be connected to the MX10 (socket “ZIMO CAN”) via the
CAN cable.
-
Connect the track system to “Schiene 1” or “Schiene 2” of the MX10.
“Schiene 2” can be switched to programming track function in “service mode”, otherwise normal driving operation
-
Connect the power supply unit (output cable) to supply socket “DC in”.
The polarity
has to be correct (but it CANNOT be damaged by wrong polarity).
-
Connect the power supply unit with the delivered (or another) “cold-device cable” (110 - 240 V~).
If the
MX10 does not start: Control the cable’s polarity on the “DC in” of the MX10!
The
command station MX10 starts up
when voltage is present on “DC in”. The start-up phase (red
screen, after a few seconds it turns blue) begins. Connected controller starts up (about 30 sec).
The controller MX32 starts
its operation at the end of the start-up phase...
(if it is
new
or
“empty”
)
...with
LOCO IN
(MAN flashes red, because there
is no entry in the system / ObjDB):
Here: enter desired vehicle address:
(if it is
not “empty”
, because it was used before but
not cleared completely),
... with
LOCO
or
SWI
.
The address or vehicle shown can now be maneu-
vered. Or: Change to
LOCO IN
by pressing the
A-
key
, where a new address can be entered.
.
After
entering
the address in
LOCO IN
press
the
F-key
to activate the vehicle with the entered
address - the operation changes to
LOCO
.
The vehicle can now me
maneuvered
: with slider,
direction key and function keys.
To maneuver another vehicle, first press the
A-key
,
in
LOCO IN
the new address is entered (maybe add
a name) and activated with the
F-key.
