ZIMO decoders contain an EPROM which stores software that determines its characteristics and functions. The software version can be read out form CV #7
and #65. The current version may not yet be capable of all the functions mentioned in this manual. As with other computer programs, it is also not possible for
the manufacturer to thoroughly test this software with all the numerous possible applications. Installing new software versions later can add new functions or cor-
rect recognized errors. SW updates can be done by the end user for all ZIMO decoders since production date October 2004, see chapter "Software Update"!
Software updates are available at no charge if performed by the end user (except for the purchase of a programming module); Updates and/or upgrades per-
formed by ZIMO are not considered a warranty repair and are at the expense of the customer. The warranty covers hardware damage exclusively, provided such
damage is not caused by the user or other equipment connected to the decoder. For update versions, see www.zimo.at.

- depending on the version, they come with a voltage regulator for low function output voltage of 1.5V (ADA…15) or 5.0V (ADA…50). The 5.0V supply can also be used to power servos; all ZIMO decoders have 2 servo control outputs available at the SUSI terminals. - Page 63 Non-Sound Decoder MX600 - MX634 and Sound Decoder MX640 - MX658 Page 63 ADAPLU – Adapter boards for PluX22 decoder: ADAMTC – Adapter boards for MTC-21 decoder: ADAPLU – without low-voltage supply ADAPLU15 or ADAPLU50 – with 1.5 or 5.0 V supply ADAMTC –...

- Page 65 The function output FO8: is not present at the standardized PluX interface but is nevertheless avail- able at the ZIMO MX645 decoder, exactly at the same location where the pin (“Index”) on a “normal” MX645P22 is missing (a PluX standard to prevent incorrect insertion). The decoder can also be or- dered with this pin intact at special request…which makes the output FO8 accessible on the adapter...

#255 or even worse to #127 or CV #99. All Zimo decoders are set to 28 speed steps by default. Make sure the system is also set to 28 steps For such applications, ZIMO decoders offer an alternative way of reaching higher CV’s via lower numbers. -
