maus®2 connected to the ‘master’ connector the system doesn’t run at all because the track signal is
missing. The keyboard cannot be connected to this plug, because it can’t be master. There must be no
further mouse connected to the ‘master’. All further Lokmaus®2 have to be plugged to the ‘slave’ con-
nector. The Lokmaus®2 system can handle up to 31 devices. But the maximum number of devices that
work together depends on the power consumption of these devices. Therefor you can connect 10 Lok-
maus®2 to the amplifier 10761. Every device connected to the RocoNet must have a unique address to
be addressed personally by the ‘master-Lokmaus®2’. This is necessary to coordinate the data exchan-
ge between the master and the slaves. But you don’t have to care about this because the Lokmaus®2
has an autoconfiguration facility. If you use a Lokmaus®2 the first time and an other device uses already
the address of this Lokmaus®2 it recognizes this problem and after a short error-message (‘E6’) it chan-
ges automatically to the next unused address. If you got several new device we recommend that you
don’t plug them all at once, better is to connect them one after the other. It makes the autoconfiguration
work faster.
IMPORTANT:
The number of the devices connected to the amplifier must not be greater than the num-
ber indicated in the menu C8. The default setting is 5 devices. You can raise the number up to 28 devices
(see page 28).
Two addresses are reserved for special devices. The address 29 is reserved for the translation-modul
10759 (to connect the old Lokmaus to the new system) and the address 30 for the Lenz PC-interface
LI100. Those two addresses are always used independently from the settings of C8.
We recommend to add new components one by one to the system if they are used the first time. So it is
easier for the autoconfiguration of the system to find a free RocoNet addresses for each device. Re-
member that only the Lokmaus®2 has the autoconfiguration mode.
Devices of other manufacturers may not have an autoconfiguration of the RocoNet address. So you
have to set the address by a setup procedure. How this is done please read the instruction of those devi-
ces or contact the manufacturer. If it is necessary to have an adaptor-plug please take a look at
‘www.roco.co.at/digital’ if there is a plug offered by ROCO.
ATTENTION! If you make your own adaptor-plug you must strictly avoid short circuits! Pay attention to
the correct wiring! Otherwise you can damage the devices. In case of any doubt, please contact our ser-
vice-department. They will help you.
Handling of the Lokmaus®2
The display, a two digit red LED display tells you the actual selected loco address
or selections in menus or their values. It informs you in case of emergency stop,
occupied loco addresses or errors. It is easily readable and even in dark rooms
visible because it is illuminated.
The knob is to control speed and direction of a loco. set to the middle the speed of
the loco is 00 and the loco stops. Turning it right you make the loco run forward
with increasing speed. Turning the knob to the left the loco runs backwards. Tur-
ning it back to the middle makes the loco run slower.
The loco reacts with the programmed acceleration and deceleration delay. If this
delay is programmed to a high value the reaction to the movement of the knob
doesn’t come immediately but may take some time. That way the loco decoder
simulates the big weight of a long train.
By the arrow-buttons ‘up’ and ‘down’ you select the address of the loco you want
to control. Pressing ‘up’ for a short time increments the loco address by one.
Pressing this button for a longer time it starts the smart-search-function up-
wards. The same you do by preesing the ‘down’ button but the address is decre-
mented by one or the smart-search-function is started downwards. The selecti-
on of the loco address gets valid in the moment when you give a command to this
loco, e.g. a speed command or if you switch a function on or off. The point at the
right of the display gets visible permanently.
The smart-search-function makes it easy to re-find a loco address (see below).
Inside a menu these buttons select the parameter-value.
