ZIMO decoders contain a microprocessor with appropriate software. The software version can be read out from CV #7 and #65.
The current version may not yet capable of all the functions mentioned in this manual. As with other computer programs, it is also
not possible for the manufacturer to thoroughly test this software with all the possible applications. Installing new software ver-
sions later can add new functions or correct recognized errors. SW updates can be done by the end user for all ZIMO decoders
since production date October 2004, see chapter “Software Update”! Software updates are available at no charge if performed by
the end user (except for the purchase of a programming module); Updates and/or upgrades performed by ZIMO are not consid-
ered a warranty issue and are at the expense of the customer. The warranty covers hardware damage exclusively, provided such
damage is not caused by the user or other equipment connected to the decoder. For update versions, see www.zimo.at.

Page 2 Large-scale Decoder & Sound Decoder MX695/6/7/9
1 Product - Overview
The MX695 large-scale decoder is available in 5 standard versions, 4 of them are equipped with
sound. Special versions for specific high-volume applications with slightly modified features are
also available (i.e. customized number of outputs for a specific project).
ZIMO decoders primarily operate in the NMRA-DCC data format with any NMRA-DCC compat-
ible system, as well as the MOTOROLA protocol (MM) within Märklin systems and other
MOTOROLA command stations. ZIMO decoders also operate in DC analog mode with DC
power packs (including PWM) as well as AC analog (Märklin Transformers with over-voltage
pulses for direction change).
In addition to the types presented below, there are also
loco-board and large-scale decoder combinations available: see chapter 4

Note to the Märklin interface: one of the female terminals on the vehicle decoder board may be used as a key to pre-

such cases. This is not done at the factory because the pin is needed for non-Märklin applications.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The motor and function outputs of the ZIMO large-scale decoders are designed with large re-
serve capacities and are additionally protected against over-currents and short circuits. Automat-
ic shutoff will occur in case of overload followed by automatic reboot attempts (which often re-
sults in flashing lights).
These safety precautions do not mean that the decoder is indestructible. Please pay attention to the
following:
Faulty decoder hook-up (mixed up connection wires) and improper electric connections between the motor
terminal and chassis are not always recognized and can lead to output driver damage or even total destruction
of the receiver.
Unsuitable or defective motors (e.g. with short-circuited turns or collectors) are not always recognizable by
their high consumption of electricity (only peaks may register) and can lead to decoder damage, sometimes
long term effects can cause output driver defects.
The decoders output drivers (for the motor and function outputs) are not only at risk through over-current but
also through voltage spikes as they are delivered from the motor and other inductive consumers. Depend-
ing on track voltage, such spikes can reach several hundred volts and are absorbed by special protection cir-
cuits inside the decoder. The capacity and speed of such elements is limited and so unnecessarily high track
voltage should not be used. Never use a higher voltage than recommended for a particular vehicle. Only in ex-
ceptional cases should the ZIMO adjustable range (up to 24 V) be utilized.
THERMAL PROTECTION
All ZIMO decoders come equipped with a sensor that detects the actual temperature. Once the
maximum permissible value (ca. 100 oC on the circuit board) has been reached, power to the
motor will be shut off. Rapidly flashing headlights (at ca. 10 Hz) will signal that a shut-off has oc-
curred. Motor operation will resume automatically after a drop in temperature of about 20 oC, typ-
ically after 30 to 60 sec.
SOFTWARE UPDATE
ZIMCO decodes are designed so that software updates can be completed by the user. This re-
quires a device with an update function (ZIMO decoder update module MXDECUP, or MXULF,
or “central system cab“ MX31ZL/MX32ZL, or command station MX10).The update itself is car-
ried out via a USB stick (MXULF, MX31ZL, MX32ZL, MX10) or via a computer with the “ZIMO
Sound Programmer” ZSP software or “ZIMO Rail Center” ZIRC software.
There is no need to remove the decoder; the locomotive does not need to be opened; it can be
placed onto the update-track (connected to the update-device) without any changes and can
then be updated via a USB stick or a computer.
Note: Locomotive accessories that are directly connected to a track (not controlled by the decoder) may inter-
fere with the update; in that case the locomotive will have to be opened and removed from the track.

The following connection diagrams
are based on the MX699.
The connections on the MX696 and MX697 are placed differently, but functionally similar
3.1 Tracks and motor(s)
The loco must provide enough
space inside, so the decoder can
be mounted without exerting me-
chanical stress.
All direct connections that are
present in the original wiring con-
figuration between the power
pick-ups (wheels and wipers) and
the motor must be insulated.
The same is important for the
headlights and other additional
accessories, which must be com-
pletely insulated.
Tracks (wheels, wipers) and mo-
tor are connected to the corre-
sponding positions on the screw
terminals (pins) according to the
picture. The second connection
points (only partly available) can,
but do not have to, be used addi-
tionally.
Generally, all DC motors used in model railways can be used.
In case, there is more than one motor in the loco, those are connected in parallel and com-
bined with each other to the decoder. A parallel connection like this ensures an automatic
alignment, provided it is an identical motor- and transmission arrangement. The MX699 usu-
ally is always strong enough to handle two or more motors.
See configuration (CVs) for motor regulation!
The connection pins for tracks and motor are available twice on the decoder, to enable send-
ing the full voltage through the relatively thin cables. For a use of up to 2 A, it is, however,
sufficient to use only one pin.
3.2 Speaker, cam sensor and volume regulation
All 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm speakers can be used,
or even some speakers connected in paral-
lel, so there is a total impedance of not
more than 4 Ohm.
The sound amplifier of the MX699 works
with 10.8V and therefore presents a sinus
power of 12 Watt onto a 4 Ohm speaker;
onto an 8 Ohm correspondingly less, i.e.
about 5 Watt.
In case, tweeters are used, they are con-
nected in parallel to the main speaker via a
frequency crossover (e.g.: a capacitor of 10
μF).
Attention: for speakers with lower specifica-
tions the volume has to be adjusted to the
processable track power.
A cam sensor (to synchronize steam chuffs
with wheel rotation) is usually not neces-
sary, because the software-provided “virtual
cam sensor” is sufficient.
In case there is a real cam sensor, a mechanical contact or a photo transistor, as well as a
Hall sensor can be connected to the switch input “IN3”. The corresponding element has to
produce a low-resistance (i.e. <10K) connection between switch input and GROUND in the
desired rotation-dependent cycle.
The volume can be controlled alternatively or additionally to the CV-configuration (see CV
#266) via the connections to an external regulator in the loco.
ONLY MX695: If such a regulator is used (100K, preferably logarithmic), the regulator on
the PCB shall be set to the highest possible volume (left limit stop), unless it is used to limit
the maximum volume to protect a lower-power speaker.
Note to the decoder MX696, MX697, MX699:
These large-scale decoders (i.e. all except the MX695) do NOT have a volume regulator
on the PCB. Nevertheless, external volume control units (potentiometers, 10K for MX697,
5K for MX699) can be connected. This is NOT possible with MX696!

3.3 Consumers and low voltage outputs
“Consumers” (or function elements) is all equipment connected to the function outputs Flf,
Flr, FO1-FO13. Mostly, this is lighting equipment (light bulbs and LEDs), but also positioning
magnets, small motors, relays, etc.
Each consumer (light bulbs, groups of light bulbs or other) is always connected to the corre-
sponding function output (negative) and to one of the up to 4 positive poles (positive):
- Positive pole - full track voltage: the directly commutated driving voltage; depending on the
stabilization of the digital command station and track voltage, this is relatively unstable, i.e.
oscillates with the driving voltage.
- Low voltage - 10V: this is the voltage mostly used within the decoder to produce sound. AT-
TENTION: too much or volatile consumption by the consumers at the 10 V source can impair
the sound quality. A short circuit on the 10 V output can damage the decoder. Therefore, on-
ly use it, if there is no other possibility (i.e. the adjustable low-voltage output is already in
use).
- Low-voltage - 5 V: this voltage is provided for servos and consumers, e.g. also for common 5
V light bulbs.
Only in V-types!
- the adjustable (= variable) low-voltage: via a coding switch on the decoder PCB, which leads to
the space between FO12 and FO13, the low-voltage can be adjusted in the following steps: 1.5
V, 6.5 V, 10V, 15V.
Only in V-types!
NOTE: Rather use a low-voltage source than reducing the voltage per software (dimming
with CV #60), because dimming uses PWM reduction (full voltage impulses with a corre-
sponding duty cycle), which can damage light bulbs (not LEDs).
See chapters concerning decoder configuration (CVs) for function mapping, function ef-
fects, electrical couplers (systems by Krois, Heyn), etc.
Note to decoders MX696:
The MX696 does NOT have the (definite) 5 V low-voltage. If needed (e.g. for servos) the ad-
justable low-voltage (only MX696V) has to be used.
Note to decoders MX696N (non-sound version):
Those provide a 6 V low voltage output (instead of the 10 V low voltage of the sound decod-
ers). Due to this, servos can be supplied directly by the decoder.
3.4 Special connections for smoke-fans
Those outputs are used to control fan motors of clocked smoke generators, as they are
used in many modern locos.
The special feature of these outputs (in contrast to the “normal” function outputs) is the
possibility to brake the motor. This inhibits the motor from rotating after a current impulse,
whereby the steam-clocking gets stronger and more accentuated. The outputs are de-
signed for a 5 V motor and for a load capacity of up to 100 mA continuous current (the
start-up current may be higher).
The decoders MX695, MX696 and MX697 only have one fan output.
3.5 Servos
The MX699 provides 4 connections for common servos, which can be used for couplers,
pantographs and other mechanical equipment.
ATTENTION: Servos of different manu-
facturers all have three wires, but the or-
der and colors of the wires differ.
See chapter concerning decoder con-
figuration regarding allocation and
setting of the servos.
5V supply for servos is only available in
V-types. The control wires on the other
hand can be used in all types of the
MX695; if needed, the 5 V supply has to
be provided externally.
The 5 V supply for servos is only availa-
ble in the MX695KV, MX695LV and other
V –type models!
The control wires though are usable with
all sound decoder versions; if necessary,
use an external 5V power source to power the servo.
