SL-Massoth-DiMAX 800 Z

MTS/DCC 8 amp Central Station for digital control of all scale trains

DiMAX 800 Z for DCC NMRA Standard and LGB MTS I, II and III Standards with any scale train

Features:

The DiMAX 800Z Digital Central Station is a favorable alternative since it is built on the same technical properties as the DiMAX 1200Z. Up to 8 Amps driving current without an integrated transformer allows using the 800Z for all scales from Z to G. Operating Voltage: 16 to 24 Volts DC or 12 to 18 Volts AC. The current output can be adjusted to 2, 4, or 8 Amps. This option is desirable for smaller scales.

Since July 2005 the 800Z features a voltage limitation of 23.5 V which is the optimum for garden layouts which often suffer of voltage drops. This should not be a problem for decoders that are in compliance with the NMRA standard. This standard requires decoders to be able to handle voltages up to 27 V. Decoders of Massoth and LGB are tested for max 30V to be able to guarantee a stable and consistent operation.

A separate programming track outlet, booster connection and a user friendly PC Programming interface are integrated as well. The 800Z provides a connector for LGB or DiMAX boosters on the back of the unit. Other NMRA compatible boosters may be used.

Properties:

  • Up to 8 Amps track current
  • Adjustable max track current: 2 Amps, 4 Amps, or 8 Amps ;according to the needs of the layout
  • External power supply with max. 18 Volts AC, or max. 24 Volts DC
