ATTENTION: Standard transformers

 of all kinds (not even with rectifier) as well as 

ZIMO   

transformers 

(although they were used for the MX1) and 

old model railway 

transformers

 

MUST NOT

 be used with an MX10!

Power supply and technical data 

The central command station MX10 and all connected controlling devices (and the whole layout) 
are supplied by an external power supply unit. This provides the so-

called “primary voltage”. As 

power supply unit you can use a product from ZIMO or from another manufacturer, as long as it ful-
fills the basic requirements:  

All power supply units provided by ZIMO correspond to these criteria. The current products can be 
looked up in our product- and pricelist. The example shown here is 

ZIMO’s standard power supply 

unit with 30V and 8A

, this 

power supply unit with 240W

 is currently delivered with start sets, but 

also available separately. 

The track voltage on the MX10’s outputs is reduced by a DC converter inside the 
MX10 to 10 - 24 V, depending on 

voltage and current setting

 (see chapter with 

identical name).   

The voltage difference between the MX10’s input voltage (i.e. output 
voltage of the power supply unit) and track output voltage has to be 3V 
or more because of the MX10’s internal use. Therefore, the track volt-
age has to be set to at least 3 V less than the voltage supplied by the 
power supply unit. 

The total current of the track outputs can be higher than the current supplied by 
the power supply unit: the higher the total current (up to the double), the lower the 
track voltages are configured compared to the voltage of the power supply unit. 
This means that in case of a 240 W power supply unit, the total rail currents can 
be calculated between 8 A (about 24 V) and 15 A (12 V). 

Additionally to the track outputs there are other consumers (own consumption, 
connected cabs, etc.), which limit the available power depending on their configu-
ration. 

The  output  of  the  power  supply  unit 
is  connected  to  the  “DC  in”  socket 
on the MX10’s back side. 

Observe the polarity (+/-)!

 

If it is connected wrongfully, the 
MX10 does not start, but it CANNOT 
be damaged.
