As a power supply for the start digital centre, please use exclusively the supplied AC adaptor or
z
the AC adaptor Art. No. 10851. Positively do not use a wound-core transformer!

The start digital centre is designed for loads of up to 3.2 A. If frequent power cuts occur in the
z
system due to overloads, please install a booster (see Page 44).
Note: To find out the current power consumption of your system, check the menu point "Power
Centre" in the "Z21 Settings" menu of the Z21 mobile app*.

2.4 Operation of Digital Locomotives

The Digital System is suitable for the control of all locomotives using Roco loco decoders or any
z
DCC-compatible decoders. Your
z
The preconfiguration by the factory of all Roco and Fleischmann locos is decoder address 3. If you
use several locos on your system simultaneously, you need to assign a separate decoder address to
each one. Further information is available in the multiMAUS handbook.
21 mobile app*
With the , this is very simple: put the locomotive as the only loco onto the track.
Z
Select the locomotive on Z21 mobile app* and give it a name and decoder address not yet assigned
in the programming mode. That's it!
All magnetic items (switches, decoupling tracks, signal decoders) equipped with a digital decoder
can be programmed and controlled with the Z21 mobile app* just as easily.
