Page8 INSTRUCTION MANUAL CENTRAL COMMAND STATIONS MX10, MX10EC
1.
The first start-up of a ZIMO system
Here: The “Startsets with the Maus” see two pages later
The ZIMO system usually is
delivered
s
“start set”
.
There are different variations of startsets,
depending on the types of Central command
stations and controllers, this means:
1 central command station
MX10 or MX10EC
(Economy)
1 power supply unit
NG300
(320 VA)
or NG600
(600 VA)
1 controller
MX32 or MX32FU
(radio)
as well as
various plugs, CAN cable,
Power cable (depending on
the country you maybe need
an adapter or a replacement).
The
best-selling
start set is the
STARTFU
= MX10 + NG300
(320 VA)
(NOTE: 320 VA since 2019, before 240 VA)
Start-up:
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” on front
ant rear side) or the MX10EC (ZIMO
CAN only on rear side) via the
CAN cable
.
ATTENTION: two cables are supplied; the
correct one has identical connectors on both
sides (Without colored tube).
The
layout
with a self-made cable (using the supplied
double screw clamp connectors
Dou-
ble screw clamp “Schiene 1” (track 1) or “Schiene 2” (track 2) of te MX10 or Double screw clamp
“Schiene” (track) of the MX10EC.
“Track 2” (MX10) or “Track” (MX10EC) can be changed (on the controller) to a programming track function
to “Service Mode”. NOTE: Modern decoders do no really need an programming track anymore.
The
power supply unit
via a connected cable (
big double screw clamp connector
at the end) to
the supplying socket “DC in” of the MX10 or MX10EC.
The supply is only working with the
correct polarity
on “DC in” (but NO dangerr in case of wrong polarity).
Finally:
Power supply
via the supplied “
cold-device cable
” to the power grid (110 - 250 V).
The
command station
MX10 or MX10EC
starts up
as soon as there is voltage applied to “DC in”.
The start-up phase (red screen, after a few seconds it turns blue) starts. The connected
controller
(or controllers) starts (about 30 sec).
The controller starts
its operation at the end of the start-up phase...

new
or
“empty”
)
... in the operating state
LOCO IN
here: enter desired vehicle address!
if it is
not “empty”
, because it was used before
but not cleared completely),
... with
LOCO
or
SWI
.
The vehicle with the shown address can now
be maneuvred. Change to
LOCO IN
by pressing the
A-button
, where a new address can be entered.
.
After
entering
the address in operation state
LOCO IN
press the
F-key
to activate the vehicle with
the entered address -
the operation changes to
LOCO
.
The vehicle can now be
maneuvered
: with
slider, direction key and function keys.
To maneuvre another train, first press the
A-key
; in
the operating state
LOCO IN
the new address is en-
tered (maybe also add a name), and then the address
is activated by pressing the
F-key
.
