Roco 10836 Z21 switch DECODER Product Details
The Z21 switch DECODER is a universally usable DCC switch decoder with 2 Amp output power for up to 8 turnouts or up to 16 consumers such as LEDs and incandescent lamps.
In order not to load the outputs of the command station or booster unnecessarily, a separate DC supply can be connected. If the simplest possible wiring is desired, the rail signal can also simply be used as the supply. For this purpose the outputs are also protected against overload and short circuit.
Each of the 8 pairs of outputs can be set independently to different modes. These are already pre-configured and can be easily selected. Each pair of outputs can also be dimmed individually to precisely match lighting fixtures.
Features:
- for double coil drives
- for simple light signals
- for illuminations
- for controlling relays
- 8 output pairs can be set independently
- Optional supply with external switching power supply
- Programmable with RailCom® on the main track (POM)
- Protected against overload and short circuit
- Updateable
Adjustable modes:
- Standard operation - With configurable duty cycle for double coil drives
- Momentary operation - Switching for turnouts and uncouplers depending on the operating time on the hand controller (like 10775)
- Bistable continuous operation - Switching on or switching over for lighting and signals
- Bistable continuous operation - switching on resp. switching over with incandescent lamp simulation
- Alternating flasher
- Alternating flasher with incandescent lamp simulation
- Turnout numbers 1-2040

Frequently asked questions
| Question: | What is the Roco 10836 Z21 switch DECODER used for? |
| Answer: | The switching decoder digitally controls turnouts, uncouplers, light signals, relays and lighting. It is suitable for DCC layouts of all model railway scales. |
| Question: | How many accessories can be connected? |
| Answer: | The module provides 16 outputs arranged as eight output pairs. It can therefore control up to eight turnouts or as many as 16 individual accessories such as LEDs and light bulbs. |
| Question: | Which switching functions does the decoder provide? |
| Answer: | Each output pair can be configured independently for momentary operation, continuous operation, twin-coil motors or alternating flashing. Bulb simulation and individual output dimming are also available. |
| Question: | How is the Z21 switch DECODER programmed? |
| Answer: | The module can be programmed through RailCom on the main track, allowing settings to be changed after installation. Alternatively, an address can be assigned using the programming button and an accessory command. |
| Question: | How is the module powered? |
| Answer: | The decoder can be powered from the DCC track signal or from a separate 12 to 20 V DC supply. Using an external supply reduces the load on the command station or booster. |
