Sniffer BUS
Driving and switching by using your existing legacy DCC digital command station (output voltage of 16 V or higher required).
At any time you can take over the loco with another throttle (or App) connected to the Z21.
The direction of communication is always from the legacy command station → into the Z21.

(i. e. LocoNet™ power source = off)
Activating LocoNet™ slave mode on PROFI-BOSS:
1. C + alt
2. Change MASTER to SLAVE
3. Confirm
* Take over a loco address by using dispatch procedure in Z21 Maintenance or Z21 app
The L-BUS also permits connection via a multiZENTRALEpro to the multiMAUSpro
2. L-BUS enables the connection to multiMAUSpro via multiZENTRALEpro
Z21 FW V1.24 or higher with Z21 as LocoNet™ master
FW V1.09 (LocoNet™ slave)
Connect to EXT.
The multiZENTRALEpro is the LocoNet™ slave and is powered by ther Z21 (12 VDC).
So do not use any power supply for the multiZENTRALEpro!
Connect the tracks with the LocoNet™ master.
