mXion WHZ Universal Turnout Heater
Introduction
Dear customer, we strongly recommend that you read these manuals and the warning notes thouroughly before installing and operating your device. The device is not a toy (15+).
NOTE: Make sure that the outputs are set to appropriate value before hooking up any other
device. We can’t be responsible For any damage if this is disregarded.
General information
We recommend studying this manual thoroughly before installing and operating your new device.
Place the decoder in a protected location. The unit must not be exposed to moisture.
NOTE: Some funktions are only available with the latest firmware. Please make sure that your device is programmed with the latest firmware.

Product description
The mXion WHZ is a intelligent switch heater. It is possible, this analog (any voltage) or digital to operate. The electronics are shed and year round weatherproof. The WHZ can thanks to the ideal size under the moving parts of the points (switch point) are called and is called if necessary the tongues, so that ice and snow come off. Is a set temperature reached (adjustable via CV), switches off the electronics. Becomes a lower temperature falls below (by CV adjustable), the system is turned on and it says.
If necessary, the heating can be switched on in the digital mode and the upper temperature is maintained. In addition various settings are available.
Programming lock
To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock. Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes automatically also CV 15.
With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.
STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 125
Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV read & write and register-mode.
There will be no extra load for programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported. The decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.
NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center POM to specific decoder adresses
Programming binary values
Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled function has always the value 0.
EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this, you must set the value in CV 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.
Reset functions
The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose. Write with the following values:
- 11 (basic functions)
- 16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
- 33 (function outputs)
