The Evolution Of The Roco Lokmaus - The Multimaus; An Overview Of The Multimaus - roco MultiMAUS Manual

The evolution of the ROCO Lokmaus — the multiMAUS
The multiMAUS brings together the functionality of the legendary Lokmaus with the comfort of a fully
digital central control unit. Whether you use the multiMAUS as just a comfortable controller or wish to use
it for comprehensive programming of your locomotive decoder and turnouts, the clear layout of the design
and simple operation make the multiMAUS the leading digital model railroading controller.
Our aim when developing this Lokmaus was to make operation as intuitive as possible. The addition of
the various new functions can be easily controlled. This manual is designed to introduce you to all the
capabilities of the multiMAUS.
In order to make this manual clear and easy to understand, it is broken down into several sections.
Beginning users that wish to use the multiMAUS only for playing are not required to read the entire
manual. The first section is sufficient for simple, everyday use.
This first section of the manual deals with the basics for connecting and operating the multiMAUS. Users
who wish to use the many diverse programming options of the multiMAUS will find instructions in the
second section of this manual. The third section serves as a guide for special cases involving digital model
railroading. The glossary contains the definitions of basic terms that you may encounter while spending
time with your digital system.
Have fun reading this manual and, of course, using the multiMAUS.
