BLI Switchers with PowerPax
"Since we added the PowerPax to the programming
track, it is all quick and dirty to program them on the club
layout. I have one of the first Broadway Hudsons that was almost
relegated to the display shelf for problem with programming
it. One last time with the PowerPax in line and that's all
it took. We did not have to shut any of the programming down,
i.e. lights, bells, sound, etc. Well worth the added investment.
Now it is just a matter of minutes to program new engines."

Having trouble programming your Broadway Ltd.
locos? The PowerPax DCC Programming Booster makes BLI programming
a SNAP!
The evolution of hi-tech DCC decoders has
outpaced the programming power most DCC Systems can provide!
The Power Pax safely boosts programming power and gives you
hassle-free programming of BLI, Soundtraxx and multiple decoder/loco
combinations.
"With my Digitrax Zephyr system, I was
having all sorts of problems programming my new BLI RSD-15.
This was my first try at using a sound equipped locomotive.
I was having a lot of problems and was in conversation
with BLI direct. I saw that the PowerPax from DCC Specialties
will eliminate my problems. Desperate to try anything I
purchased the item online. The PowerPax has been nothing
short of a miracle. I can now operate my RSD-15 to the
full capabilities of the system."
Recommended for and compatible with Digitrax, Lenz, NCE
and all other DCC Systems.

WARNING: If the Power
Pax output is energized inadvertently by contact to an
external power source the unit will be DAMAGED. This can
occur if the program track, even though isolated, makes
connection to the mainline by dragging or running a loco
across the gap. The loco will transfer current from the
mainline to the program track. You can prevent this by
installing a dead, un-powered, section of track between
the programming track and the mainline, longer than your
longest loco!
Special Note:
For BLI, Switchers and Proto GP9 We found that a 12 ohm 1
watt resistor (Digikey P12W-1BK-ND or equivalent) placed
between the PowerPax and the programming track in series
with one of the PowerPax output leads solves the problem.
With the resistor installed, all three systems were able
to read and write CV values correctly. This could be made
as a permanent change to your programming track setup since
it does not appear to affect the programming performance
of other decoders. |
