Connecting The Multimaus - Roco multiMAUS Manuel

Connecting the multiMAUS

Fig. 2 on page 61 shows the basic connection. For a fully-functional ROCO digital system with the multiMAUS, you
will need the following components:
A 10764 amplifier,
▪
A 10851 switching power supply,
▪
And a 61190 feeder track. If you are using another feeder track or system, make sure that there is no capacitor in
▪
the feeder track.
You will find information on other devices which you can use with the multiMAUS in the chapter
"Compatibility of the multiMAUS" in the third section of this manual.
Please pay attention to the following instructions before you start connecting components:
The warranty will be voided if you are using ROCO components together with components from other compa-
nies. In addition there is a risk of damage or malfunction to your digital system. Your warranty will also be void
if you open the housing of the multiMAUS.
Please only carry out any connection work with the operating voltage switched off (as an exception: connection
of further X-Bus based equipment, see below). Work carefully and make sure to avoid short circuits at all costs
when connecting to the track system. An incorrect connection may destroy the digital components. You should
also seek the advice of a specialist or local dealer.
To operate the digital system without faults, you should avoid extending the connecting cable to the master
mouse.
It is imperative that you do not connect a normal transformer on the same circuit parallel to the digital control-
ler. This could destroy the digital booster!
1. Plug the feeder track cable into the track socket "Track Out" on the amplifier.
2. Plug the hollow plug, which is connected to the transformer by the two-pin cable, into the "Power In" socket.
3. Connect the multiMAUS and the amplifier using the cable included with your system. Plug the cable into the
connection socket on the booster labeled "Master".
4. You can now (and not beforehand) connect the transformer to the mains socket. This way you avoid damaging
the digital system.
The socket labeled "slave" is for connecting a further multiMAUS, a Lokmaus 2 / R3, the RouteControl 10772 or a
PC with the ROCOMOTION software. In this case you should have switched the system on. This ensures that the
automatic allocation of the X-Bus addresses will be without any problems. If more than one of these devices are to
be connected, you will require the data BUS distributor 10758.
If you use a Lokmaus 2 / R3 as a master, you will be unable to use some of the functions performed by a
multiMAUS set as a slave. We therefore recommend that you use a multiMAUS as the master. See also the chapter
"Master-and-Slave Principle" in the third section of this manual.
Note on the instructions
Text that contains an "�" before a word refers to a definition in the "Glossary" in section three.
"+" in the diagrams means that both the keys mentioned must be pressed together.
"/" in the diagrams stands for a selection of one of the two keys mentioned.
