1. LOCO SELECTION
To control your loco with the multiMAUS or to change settings, you must fi rst select the loco. There are two ways
to do this: the library mode or the address mode. The fi rst time you switch on your multiMAUS, it will start in library
mode.
1.1 Library Mode
In the library mode of the multiMAUS, your locos are sorted by their names. To select the loco you want to control, simply scroll
through the library using the arrow keys.
When you switch on your system, the multiMAUS display shows the name of the last loco used. When you
switch on for the fi rst time, the display will show “LOCO1” or the factory-assigned name of your starter set loco.
1.2 Address Mode
Alternatively, you can also control the locos by entering the decoder address. The decoder is located in your digital loco and
receives the control signals from your multiMAUS. All locos have preset address 3 at the factory.
• By pressing the key combination + you can switch between library mode and address mode and back.
• You can reach the desired decoder address either by using the arrow keys or by entering the address
of the loco directly.
• To do this, fi rst press +
• The adjacent display 2 appears. Enter the loco address in the number fi eld.
