Part 4 • multiTENTRALE

PRO

The 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 is the core of the ROCO digital system. It processes the commands of the 

multi

MAUS

PRO

, 

supplies power to your model railway system, switches turnouts and other solenoid devices, and provides the 

data for the decoders of your locomotives.

4.1  Power Supply

The power supply of the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 is designed to be universally usable. AC and DC Power supply units 

and transformers can be connected to the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

. Connection values:

–  Direct current (=): 18�–�24 Volt

–  Alternating current (~): 16�–18 Volt

Do not use too little capacity for the power supply unit or transformer to ensure the amount available for running 

trains and operating the system is sufficient. We recommend a minimum capacity of approx. 30 VA, which is 

sufficient for small systems with one or two trains with lights.

If the red LED is lit continuously, you should use either a higher capacity power supply unit or a booster (see Part 

5, Chapter 5.5 “

Booster 10765

”).

The menu item “CURRENT CENTRE” in the “SETTINGS – INFOS” menu provides information about the current 

power consumption of the system. The 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 is designed for up to 3.2 A.

4.2  Connections

Additional devices can be connected to the numerous ports.

•  The USB port connects to PCs and associated devices. Use this port to control your system with the software 

ROCOMOTION with Set 10832 or update 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 and 

multi

MAUS

PRO

 to the latest versions.

•  The three sockets labeled “RocoNet” serve to connect additional devices such as a cabled 

multi

MAUS

, a 

Lokmaus 2 or R3, the RouteControl 10772. If you connect any of these devices, the digital controller should 

be switched on to ensure the RocoNet addresses are properly and correctly assigned within the system. 

If these three connections are not enough, use the data bus distributor 10758 to connect additional de-

vices.

•  The “feedback BUS” socket is intended for feedback modules such as the ROCO Art. No. 10787. Up to 20 

feedback modules can be connected to the BUS line originating from this module. The feedback modules 

can be subjected to a software update via the USB port of the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

.

If you are connecting/removing a feedback module to/from the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 or the feedback BUS, 

the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 must be de–energized. Comply with the operating instructions of the feedback 

module.

•  Please consult Part 5 “

Booster 10765

” for additional information.

•  The “EXT.” port is intended for future expansions of the 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 and is without functionality at the 

time the manual was printed.

Never remove the blind plug of the “EXT.” port. Never connect a RocoNet or X-BUS device to this port 

either!

4.3  Main and Programming Track

The 

multi

ZENTRALE

PRO

 has two track outputs: Main and programming track. Connect the route track to the con-

nector of the „Main 

“ main track. Make sure there is no capacitor in the track as it is frequently the case with 

analog systems to suppress signal interference.
