The "Program" Menu - roco MultiMAUS Manual

All the values of a decoder (NMRA / DCC) are stored in what are referred to as configuration variables, the
CVs. Using the "PROGRAM" menu you can adjust these values to your needs.
Before a new value can be written, the current value must be read and be displayed by the decoder which
is installed in the locomotive. The read process can be cancelled by briefly pressing the Z21 stop button.
The read process can be cancelled by briefly pressing the Z21 stop key.
ROCO decoders already installed in locomotives are delivered with the suitable settings. You should there-
fore check before performing programming whether it is really necessary.
Programming has to be performed on a separate programming track unless there is only one digital
locomotive or turnout decoder connected to the Z21 by the tracks or other wiring or if the multiMAUS
is switched to "POM" mode (see section 2). If programming is performed on the normal driving track
and there is more than one digital locomotive on the track (or other turnout decoders than ROCO articles
42624 and 10775), the settings for all decoders in the system are changed with one single program com-
mand. Thus you could, for instance, unintentionally program all decoders to the same locomotive address.
2.1. "CV MODIFICATION"
This is where you can read CVs (see above) or give them new values. The first display screen shows the text
"CV" and a flashing cursor. You can now enter the number of the CV you require using the „function keys".
To confirm, press the "Light / OK" key.

The decoder will read and display the displayed value. If you only wish to read the value, simply leave
the menu point by pressing "STOP". If you only wish to read the values, exit the menu item by press-
ing "STOP".
Then enter the required value and confirm by pressing the "Light / OK" key. The display
▪
switches briefly to "PROG" before you return to the start level "CV MODIFICATION".
2.2. "LONG ADDRESS"
Only locomotive addresses from 1 – 99 can be stored in CV1. All locomotive addresses from 100
onwards must be programmed using this menu item. To do so it is first necessary to enable "long
addresses" in the locomotive decoder using CV29 (see decoder operating manual!)
When calling up this menu item, "CV 17 / 18" is briefly displayed. The display then switches imme-
diately to a four digit "suggested value" with a letter "L" prefix and a flashing cursor. You can now
enter the number of the address you require using the function keys. The numbers of the suggested
value disappear once the first number has been entered.
To confirm, press the "Light / OK" key. The display switches briefly to "PROG" before you return to the start
▪
level "LONG ADDRESS".
2.3. "MODE"
The multiMAUS is set to "CV programming mode" in the factory. However, if you wish to program
locomotives without using a separate programming track, set the multiMAUS to „POM" mode.
"POM" stands for "programming on the main" which means that you can program the locomotive,
which is selected on the multiMAUS.
A decoder reset may need to be performed. See "Hints, Tips and Help" on page 60. CV1 (address)
for the locomotive being programmed cannot be programmed in "POM" mode. Select the required
programming mode using one of the arrow keys.
To confirm, press the "Light / OK" key. You return to the start level "MODE".
