Smart and intelligent!The ROCO Lokmaus®2 is an ecenomy-priced digital control system. It was de-
signed and developed for digital beginners as well as for the advanced enthusiasts. It is the second ge-
neration of the very successfull ROCO Lokmaus. The compatibility to the standards of NMRA-DCC
guarantees you to get a system that fits the world-standard for two rails digital command controls
(DCC).
The Lokmaus®2 offers to you two levels of operation. Functions that could cause problems if they are
used by children can be easily protected against unintentional use
You take profit from a Digital System that offers to you the most important features without the necessity
to read a lot of instructions and manuals.
The factory-setup of the system allows you to control your layout by intuition because the system is
self-explaining – even the most important professional features. This level is explained by the short in-
struction that comes with the set and is included to the Lokmaus®2 as it is sold separately.
This more detailed manual tells you everything about the advanced mode for the ‘professional’ players
and model railroaders. We wish you happy hours with your layout controlled by the Lokmaus®2 and
reading this book.
Warning: Using components of other manufacturers together with ROCO components you risc dama-
ge or malfunctions. We approved a lot of components of other manufacturers that work well. See the list
at the end of this instruction.

Plug and play – wiring the Lokmaus®2
The wire of the feeding track is plugged into the connector ‘track out’ of the amplifier. Then you connect
the two pole feeding wire of the amplifier to the two clamps of the transformer. Put the western-plug of
the Lokmaus®2 into the clip called ‘master’ of the amplifier. The scheme fig. 1 on page 2 shows the wi-
ring diagram of all devices of the starting sets. The clip named ‘slave’ must be used for all further Lok-
maus®2. One Lokmaus®2 can be plugged directly to the amplifier, to connect a second, third etc
Lokmaus®2 you need the RocoNet-Y-modul 10758. This is shown by fig. 2 on page 35 that shows the
wiring diagram of the amplifier and three mice.
The RocoNet
RocoNet is called the connection between the amplifier and the Lokmaus®2 that represents the second
generation of the Lokmaus, the Digital System by ROCO. There must be connected one Lokmaus®2 to
the ‘master’ connector of the amplifier. This Lokmaus®2 gets automatically the function of the central
unit of the complete system. It coordinates all devices and generates the track signal. If there is no Lok-
20
maus®2 connected to the ‘master’ connector the system doesn’t run at all because the track signal is
missing. The keyboard cannot be connected to this plug, because it can’t be master. There must be no
further mouse connected to the ‘master’. All further Lokmaus®2 have to be plugged to the ‘slave’ con-
nector. The Lokmaus®2 system can handle up to 31 devices. But the maximum number of devices that
work together depends on the power consumption of these devices. Therefor you can connect 10 Lok-
maus®2 to the amplifier 10761. Every device connected to the RocoNet must have a unique address to
be addressed personally by the ‘master-Lokmaus®2’. This is necessary to coordinate the data exchan-
ge between the master and the slaves. But you don’t have to care about this because the Lokmaus®2
has an autoconfiguration facility. If you use a Lokmaus®2 the first time and an other device uses already
the address of this Lokmaus®2 it recognizes this problem and after a short error-message (‘E6’) it chan-
ges automatically to the next unused address. If you got several new device we recommend that you
don’t plug them all at once, better is to connect them one after the other. It makes the autoconfiguration
work faster.
IMPORTANT: The number of the devices connected to the amplifier must not be greater than the num-
ber indicated in the menu C8. The default setting is 5 devices. You can raise the number up to 28 devices
(see page 28).
Two addresses are reserved for special devices. The address 29 is reserved for the translation-modul
10759 (to connect the old Lokmaus to the new system) and the address 30 for the Lenz PC-interface
LI100. Those two addresses are always used independently from the settings of C8.
We recommend to add new components one by one to the system if they are used the first time. So it is
easier for the autoconfiguration of the system to find a free RocoNet addresses for each device. Re-
member that only the Lokmaus®2 has the autoconfiguration mode.
Devices of other manufacturers may not have an autoconfiguration of the RocoNet address. So you
have to set the address by a setup procedure. How this is done please read the instruction of those devi-
ces or contact the manufacturer. If it is necessary to have an adaptor-plug please take a look at
‘www.roco.co.at/digital’ if there is a plug offered by ROCO.
ATTENTION! If you make your own adaptor-plug you must strictly avoid short circuits! Pay attention to
the correct wiring! Otherwise you can damage the devices. In case of any doubt, please contact our ser-
vice-department. They will help you.
Handling of the Lokmaus®2
The display, a two digit red LED display tells you the actual selected loco address
or selections in menus or their values. It informs you in case of emergency stop,
occupied loco addresses or errors. It is easily readable and even in dark rooms
visible because it is illuminated.
The knob is to control speed and direction of a loco. set to the middle the speed of
the loco is 00 and the loco stops. Turning it right you make the loco run forward
with increasing speed. Turning the knob to the left the loco runs backwards. Tur-
ning it back to the middle makes the loco run slower.
The loco reacts with the programmed acceleration and deceleration delay. If this
delay is programmed to a high value the reaction to the movement of the knob
doesn’t come immediately but may take some time. That way the loco decoder
simulates the big weight of a long train.
By the arrow-buttons ‘up’ and ‘down’ you select the address of the loco you want
to control. Pressing ‘up’ for a short time increments the loco address by one.
Pressing this button for a longer time it starts the smart-search-function up-
wards. The same you do by preesing the ‘down’ button but the address is decre-
mented by one or the smart-search-function is started downwards. The selecti-
on of the loco address gets valid in the moment when you give a command to this
loco, e.g. a speed command or if you switch a function on or off. The point at the
right of the display gets visible permanently.
The smart-search-function makes it easy to re-find a loco address (see below).
Inside a menu these buttons select the parameter-value.

The button ‘stop’ causes an emergency stop. All locomotives stop and the fee-
ding of the layout is interrupted. During this emergency stop mode you can select
new loco addresses and give commands to those locos e.g. to stop them or give
new commands so that they don’t continue their way after releasing the
stop-mode. Pressing ‘STOP’ the second time you release the stop mode and the
locos re-start to run. The commands you gave during the stop-mode are execu-
ted now immediately.
If a short circuit had happened you release it by pressing ‘STOP’.
Inside a programming menu you quit the menu by pressing ‘STOP’.
The programming button ‘P’ leads you into the programming menu for locomoti-
ves and switch-decoders and to different setup-menus. With this button you con-
firm selected parameters and start the programming procedures.
The star-button switches the headlights on and off. Pressing this button the first
time the headlights start to shine, pressing it the second time it switches the he-
adlights off. It is important to make sure that the selected speed steps of the loco
decoder and the selected speed steps of the Lokmaus®2 will match, If not the
headlights don’t work correctly or the loco doesn’t run (see programming of the
CV29 page 25).
The function buttons ‘F1’ to ‘F4’ control the additional functions of a loco such as
smoke, digital uncoupler or sound. You also operate the additional functions of a
car equipped with a function decoder e. g. headlights, illumination or signal horn.
Pressing this button the first time it switches on the function, pressing it a second
time it switches off the function.
Important: Most of the locos have one function only – the headlights. Few loco-
motives have a second function (e. g. a digitally controlled smoke generator, di-
gital uncoupler, sound etc.) Therefore on most of the locos the function keys
don’t control nothing. To operate those additional functions the loco must be equipped with a special
deoder or an additional function decoder. For the future it is ROCO’s plan to raise the playworth of the
railroad by adding functions to locos and cars. So these functions already have been integrated into the
Lokmaus®2.
IMPORTANT: At the Lokmaus®2 the address of the digital crane must be set to the 14-speed-steps
mode!
Taking a loco from an other Lokmaus®2
The selection of the loco gets valid at the moment when you give a command to this loco, that means
when you turn the knob or push a function button. The point at the right of the display gets visible perma-
nently. If this loco will be taken by an other Lokmaus, this point starts to flash.
The selected loco address is listed immediately in the smart-search list. This function gives you a great
advantage in controlling a lot of locos (see below).
The Smart-Search Function
The smart search function helps you to select a loco. The address of any loco you select during your
play is listed in the smart-search .ist. If you start the smart-search-function by pressing an arrow-key it
stops for a short moment at the addresses of any loco that was already controlled during that session.
So you find the addresses of your locos very easily (e.g. the addresses 04, 17, 45 and 98). The length of
the smart-search-list is programmable by the setup of the system (setup C1). The valid range for the
length of the list is from 1 to 22 addresses; default length from factory is 5 addresses. If you select more
addresses then the length of the list, the oldest address is canceled from the list of smart search. You de-
lete all smart search addresses by re-starting the digital system (cutting the power supply). Only the se-
tup of the Master-Lokmaus is valid.
