Quick Start Guide
Using the Programming Button
These instructions are valid for the
Q
decoder
Z2-8+
Ex works the Z2 is confi gured for the (DCC) accessory addresses 1 to 4 for
motorised turnout drives.
The decoder automatically switches over to Märklin/Motorola, if it
detects a Märklin/Motorola programming command or if CV57 is set to
value “2”.
With the programming button you can confi gure all function outputs of a
Q
decoder
to the same mode and determine their accessory addresses with
a single command from your command station.
You may confi gure the following operating modes of a Z2 with the
programming button:

Press the buttons resp. as programming command.
Turnout Drives on one Function Output
(programming command 1 ,2 ,3 )
You may connect eight motorised or magnetic drives in combination to the
decoder. The motor leads are only shown in principle. For turnout drives of
certain manufacturers the specifi c
wiring is compiled in the leafl et
“Electrical connections“.
Each turnout is controlled under its
own indvidual accessory address.
When programming with the
programming button the accessory
addresses are set as per the
following table.

Example: Send a programming command ranging between 129 and 132, for instance
“130 “, for 1 second pulse duration in order to set turnouts to addresses from 129
upwards.
You can set the addresses of the turnouts under the following CVs:
accessory addresses
turnout 1
A
W1
= CV1 + 256·CV9
turnout 5 A
W5
= CV573 + 256·CV572
turnout 2 A
W2
= CV555 + 256·CV554 turnout 6 A
W6
= CV579 + 256·CV578
turnout 3 A
W3
= CV561 + 256·CV560 turnout 7 A
W7
= CV585 + 256·CV584
turnout 4 A
W4
= CV567 + 256·CV566 turnout 8 A
W8
= CV591 + 256·CV590
The pulse duration and the duration of the soft start can be modifi ed with
the confi guration variables as described in the chapter “Turnout drives /
motors on 2 function outputs”.
Lighting Mode
(programming command 4 )
Each of the outputs
A0
through
A7
is controlled individually under
separate accessory addresses.
The outputs are confi gured for
continuous mode and are faded in
respectively out within a quarter
second.

When switching on L9, then L1 is turned off and vice versa.
You can change the addresses of the pairs of lamps under the following CVs:
