4.4.3. “Catch function” of the rotary control
multi
MAUS
fi rmware version V
2.00 also includes an optional “catch function” for the rotary con-
trol as already known from the
WLAN
MAUS
.
+
Holding the MENU button and pressing the “0” button opens the
catch sensitivity
selection,
which can be used to activate the catch function for the speed controller.
As a result, if the speed controller does not match the current speed step, e.g. when switching
to the locomotive library, the setting on the speed controller is not immediately applied and sent
to the locomotive as a speed command. Instead, the speed controller must fi rst "capture" the
current speed step by means of a corresponding rotational movement, whereby the direction
of rotation is indicated by a fl ashing direction arrow. The closer the speed controller gets to the
current speed step, the faster the arrow fl ashes until a match is reached. As soon as the arrow
is displayed normally again (without fl ashing), the locomotive travels at the new speed set using
the speed controller.
In other words: The fl ashing arrow indicates where to move the speed controller to “catch” the
locomotive with the speed controller. This is a simple way to prevent undesirable speed changes
when changing locomotives with the
multi
MAUS
.
The “catch sensitivity”, i.e. how close the speed controller must come to the current speed step
until the locomotive “adopts” the set speed, can be set in 10 steps. You can set the desired
sensitivity in steps using the arrow buttons.
Value range
: OFF, 1 to 10
(highest sensitivity); recommended for fi rst attempts:

Confi rm the selection with the OK button to return to normal driving mode.
4.4.4. Change of driving direction when stationary
From
multi
MAUS
fi rmware version V
2.00, you can hold down the Shift button while operating
the rotary control to suppress evaluation and acceptance of the set speed step. This means
changing the driving direction is possible when the locomotive is at a standstill, e.g. to change
the locomotive light in the train station area without starting up.
4.4.5. “LOC” stop mode
In the “SETTINGS” | “STOP MODE” sub-menu, there is a new “LOC” option in addition to
“VOLTAGE OFF” and “EMERGENCY STOP” from
multi
MAUS
fi rmware version V
2.00.
In the “LOC” stop mode, only the locomotive currently controlled by the
multi
MAUS
is stopped
when pressing the STOP button. Turning the speed controller can cancel this selective locomo-
tive stop and the locomotive will run again.
With the “LOC” stop mode, the
multi
MAUS
can, for example, be handed over to a visitor with-
out it being able to disturb system operation by accidentally pressing the STOP button.
4.4.6. “CLUB” mode
In the “SETTINGS” | “OPERATION” | “CHILD LOCK” sub-menu there is a new “CLUB” option as
of
multi
MAUS
fi rmware version
V2.00. The so-called “CLUB” mode can be activated in this way.
In “CLUB” mode, only the preset locomotive can be controlled and its functions F0 to F31 can
be switched. The “STOP” button can only be used to stop the preset locomotive. All other
options of the
multi
MAUS
are locked.
