2. Determination of use and function
The Z21 switch DECODER has been developed for use with DCC control centres for switching twin coil drives, relays, lights and simpler
light signals with a common plus pole.
For more complex, multi-aspect light signals, please use the Z21 signal DECODER with article number 10837.
The Z21 switch DECODER has been specically designed for use with accessories from ROCO and with the Z21 product range, but is
also compatible with older ROCO control centres as well as DCCcontrol centres from other manufacturers. In the latter case, however,
the addressing mode should be set to “RCN-213” where necessary, see also section Operation on control centres from other manu-
facturers.
