(3 sec) and select
"SERV PR ID+LD" or "OP PR ID+LD" with the scrolling wheel.

OP PR ID+LD
OP PROG After selection by
R-key
the address is entered, by pressing
Enter addr:
the R-key the ID is read out automatically.
Otherwise, this procedure is identical (but faster) to the mode “SERV PR ID+LD” (see previous chapter).

Decoder-connection board MXTAPS / V
ZIMO decoder-test-and-connection boards are best used wit
MXULF
and
MXULFA
, as well as ZIMO
command stations (especially
MX10)
, but also with older ZIMO digital command stations and devices of
other manufacturers.
The basic features of these PCBs are the following:
- Plugs for all interfaces used in ZIMO decoders, i.e. PluX12, -16, -22, Next-18, 21MTC, NEM651,
NEM652 (all standardized by VHDM or NMRA), as well as interfaces for large-scale decoders MX696,
MX697, MX699 (proprietary of ZIMO).
Two versions -
MXTAPS
only for small scales,
MXTAPV
with all interfaces (including large-scale)
- Connection to
MXULF
, ZIMO central command station or other digital command stations via double
clamp “SCHIENE” and, if necessary (if available on counter device) via SUSI cable.
- To test the decoders, the following is provided: DC motor, speaker (1 Watt), various LEDs for function out-
puts and fan outputs (large-scale decoders), servo connections (large-scale decoders), plugs for various
ZIMO decoder types and wires to external consumers.
Connections between the MXTAPV and the MXULF: a 2-
pole cable to connect the “Schiene”-plug (track; con-
nectors are supplied with the device) and a 4-pole SUSI cable (supplies; SUSIKAB).
NOTE: With the MXTAPS or MXTAPV, also decoders of other manufacturers can be used. To update
software or sound, naturally, a suitable programming device of the corresponding manufacturer has to be
used.
When testing, ZIMO and other products can be mixed on both sides.
SUSI sound load is only possible with ZIMO decoders.
