MX31ZL “system cab” - The entry level starter set
is ideal to get to know ZIMO. It contains most of the ZIMO features and functions. Even though it is an entry level set it is very well equipped and powerful:
- Stabilized track power of up to 4 amp continuous and up to 5.5 amps peak, without an additional booster.
- Short circuit shut-off adjustable from 0.01 second to 10 seconds.
- Adjustable track voltage from 10 - 22V (max. 19V with 90W power supply).
- The track output can be connected to the main track, programming track or to a decoder update track (the MX31ZL is also a useful decoder update module).
- Built-in volt/amp meter display
- USB “client & host” interface for easy PC connection or to plug in a USB memory stick for decoder updates without a computer (Note: the MX31ZL is not ready for decoder updates with the initial SW version. This feature will be activated with a soon to be released firmware update that can be installed by the user via Internet ).
- Built-in global RailCom detector for bidirectional communication (RailCom is a registered trademark of Lenz GmbH). RailCom responds to and displays messages in real time for each actively controlled engine (i.e. actual speed, expected stop time, power consumption) and of course allows decoder CV’s to be read on the main. This feature requires RailCom enabled decoders, which at present (Fall 2007) are available from Lenz (only Gold series) and ZIMO (all types). Other manufacturers are expected to follow in 2008. The use and application of the RailCom technology has only scratched the surface and many new features will be added in the month and years ahead. In order to access those new features, the equipment involved (MX31ZL, MX31...) as well as decoders must be updated periodically with new software (ZIMO components in general can be updated without removal or replacement of decoders, EPROMS etc.).
- All features of a “normal” MX31 cab.
- System expansion with up to 5 more MX31 cabs, radio cab or integration of the MX31ZL in a “large ZIMO system” (with regular command station).
The MX31ZL comes with its own power supply, plug-in panel, USB computer cable, USB adapter for memory stick and operating manual:

Full ZIMO starter sets contain all the ZIMO components required to get started in DCC. That includes:
- a command station with built-in booster
- a cab (aka throttle or handheld)
- 1 or 2 decoders (depending on scale)
- the necessary connectors and cable
- a complete operating manual (containing instruction manuals for all available ZIMO products).
Not included is a transformer(s) to power the command station. The TRAFO25 available from ZIMO is only useable in countries with 220V. Note that no expensive DC power supply is required. A simple transformer is all that is needed. Any transformer with at least 150 VA (24V - 28V at 8A) is suitable and can usually be obtained locally from an electric or electronic parts supply store (see MX1 manual for specifications). A suitable transformer can also be ordered from us.
