Massoth's 12 amp MTS and DCC Central Station |
|
|
Up to 12 Amps driving current without an integrated transformer allows using the 1210Z for all scales from Z to G. Input Voltage: 16 to 24 Volts DC or 12 to 18 Volts AC. The current output can be adjusted to 4, 7, or 12 Amps. This option is desirable for smaller scales.
The 1210Z features a voltage limitation of 24 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 1210Z provides a connector for LGB or DiMAX boosters on the back of the unit. Other NMRA compatible boosters may be used.
Properties of the 1210Z:
- Adjustable output voltage (14-22V) when powered with AC (not recomenede by the Shourt Line - use pure DC power)
- Adjustable max track current: 4 Amps, 7 Amps, or 12 Amps ;according to the needs of the layout
- External power supply with max. 18 Volts AC, or max. 24 Volts DC
(Gauge N to G)
- Output current at 22-24 V : max. 12 Amps (only for G-Scale recommended)
- Easy to read display with blue background lighting
- Selectable parallel or serial data processing (may be defined individually for each locomotive))
- Thermal overload control / automatic overheat protection
- Temperature controlled fan
- Automatic short circuit protection (cut off time adjustable)
- Additional program track outlet ( 2 Amps max.)
- Operation control light
- Activity control light
- Booster control light
- STOP control light (supports MTS blinking emergency stop light)
- Push button with STOP function
- Easy to use menu control by 3 push buttons
- 2 connectors for peripheral units
- 1 booster connector for DiMAX and LGB boosters
- 2 Amp control bus for 8 input devices and 30 control units
- Selectable control bus protocol: DiMAX Massoth or LGB MTS II
- Operational control by DiMAX Navigator or LGB MTS components ( Loco Remote, Universal Remote, etc..)
- PC Interface (RS 232) for firmware updates of all DiMAX bus components (central station, Navigator, etc.)
- Free firmware update downloads

The wireless Navigator Throttle, shown here, provides bidirectional communication with the central station. You may have lots of throttles connected to the central station allowing multiple operators. |
|
 |
|
| The Navigator wireless throttle has bidirectional communication. The display shows the actual amperage your train is using while you walk around your track. This is great for trouble shooting problems with track power or feeder lines to the track as you can actually see the voltage drop remotely on your wireless throttle as your train goes over a bad section of track. |

The wireless Navigator Throttle has a range of over 300 feet.
I have successfully run trains with it at over 1000 feet from the receiver where the receiver, central station, power supply, cordless phone, and a PC with wireless connection all stacked on top of each other. If you have used a wireless throttle in the past you will be amazed at the range of this system.
The Throttle also has a back lighted graphics display that shows what type of engine you are running, along with your choice of engine name. The main speed control is also back lighted so it is easy to run in the dark and the stop buttons cut power to the track instantly and also restore the power.
The Navigator Throttle includes:
- US frequency Transmitter Throttle with full control lighting
- 20' bus cord for connecting to central station
- Instructions
- Factory box to hold all items
|
|
| Optional DiMAX RC Receiver (click here for details) |
|
|
|
|
The DiMAX Receiver enables you to operate the DiMAX Navigator with a DiMAX central station or a LGB MTS III central station.
The DiMAX Multi Receiver facilitates the operation of a maximum of 8 Navigators at the same time. The receiver is connected to the XpressNet and the LocoNet via 2 plugs.
The additional Massoth plug may be used for cable operation or for charging the batteries of the Navigator.
The Receiver includes:
- US frequency Receiver with Status light
- 20' bus cord for connecting to central station
- Antenna for US frequency standard
- Instructions
- Factory box to hold all items

Just plug in the power supply; connect the supplied 20' cable between the DiMAX and the receiver, hook up your track, put 3 AA batteries (you can recharge them in the throttle) and you are running. Our power supply is adjustable so your won't melt your 18 volt smoke stacks or coach lamps, you don't need as meter as the DiMAX shows your the voltage of the power supply as well as the amperage going to the track. The DiMAX remembers all your loco pictures, names, addressed, that throttle is assigned to what loco and all the switch track routes on your railroad. NO PROGRAMMING is required to run your trains!
Massoth' DiMAX 1210Z power plug is easily plugged into the back of the unit and track wires attached with a screw driver. Power can be applied to the track using LGB track clips (not included in item) or with Massoth track clips.
The optinal wire harness is easily plugged into the supply and the green Massoth power plug (included with Central Station).
