In tro duc tion
The MX82 ac ces sory de cod ers op er ate turn outs, sig nals, decouplers etc.
ac cord ing to the
stan dard ized NMRA-DCC data for mat.
They can be used
with any NMRA-DCC sys tem.
Ac ces sory de cod ers are con nected ei ther
to the track
or a
2-conductor
power bus
com ing from the com mand sta tion. The rather small size of the
MX82 (es pe cially the MX82E) al lows the de coder to be in stalled in side the
road bed of HO
track or switch mo tor hous ings (e.g. LGB turn outs).
Turn outs and sig nals con nected to an ac ces sory de coder can be op er ated
ei ther:
?
with a cab/throt tle (e.g. ZIMO MX2, MX2FU, MX21, MX21FU, MX3 etc.)
?
us ing de coder in puts (from track con tact/switches)
?
with com pu ter and ap pro pri ate soft wa re (STP-dispatching soft wa re)

Spec i fi ca tions
The de coder is built on a .75 x.39” board. The MX82E and MX82Vare in su lated in a thin
shrink tube, while the MX82D is wrapped in a slightly heavier shrink tube and sealed
with a spe cial sealer on each end.

SW-Version 3 and up: UP DATE SOFT WARE ON PRO GRAMMING TRACK
......
Be gin ning with pro duc tion date Sep tem ber/Oc to ber 2004, Zimo de cod ers are
equipped to han dle a soft ware up date by the end user. That re quires a
Zimo
MXDECUP de coder up date mod ule
(avail able in No vem ber 2004) as well as
a com puter with Win dows op er at ing sys tem and Internet con nec tion (for down -
loading the new soft ware from Zimo’s web site).The up date mod ule is not tied
to a Zimo sys tem and can there fore be used with other DCC sys tems as well!
De coders man u fac tured ear lier (be fore SW-version 3) will have to be sent to Zimo for a one-time up grade.
Sub se quent up dates can then be per formed by the user. This up grade will be of fered at a very rea son able
priced ser vice in Oc to ber 2004. The de coder soft ware can be read out with CV #519.
