2.5 Upgrading of Analogue Locomotives
Locomotives and components without decoder cannot be used in the
Z
21
Digital System.
Due to the entirely dierent voltage supply, the use of a non-decoder loco results in a highly irritating
high-frequency noise. In addition, there is a risk that the motors will be damaged.
However, many analogue models can be refitted with loco decoders and so made suitable for use
on your
z
21
layout. With locomotives with a free slot and an operational digital interface, this is very
simple and easy because as a rule, the decoder merely needs to be plugged into a free socket.
2.6 Resetting the z21start digital centre
If your digital system no longer operates flawlessly, please reset your
z
21
start digital centre to the
factory setting as follows:
Press the stop key on the front of the unit.
Keep the key depressed for 5 seconds. The LED light starts flashing in purple.
This shows the
z
21
start digital centre has been reset to the factory setting. If the digital system still
does not operate flawlessly, contact your dealer.
2.7 Update of z21start digital centre
The www.z21.eu website also contains a Z21 maintenance tool with which you can perform advanced
settings in addition to the updates.
