Digitrax is a full time professional company dedicated to bringing superior
engineering and quality to model railroaders. Digitrax decoders
and command stations are affordable and flexible. Get started in DCC for a small initial
expenditure with Zephyr, Empire Builder or Super Chief Starter Sets and then
expand as your needs and interests dictate. Your system can be as simple or as
complex as you wish.

Quad Occupancy Detector -- 4 Detection Sections, Outputs For Panel Mounted LEDs, For Use w/DS54 or SE8C This unit provides cost-effective occupancy detection for four sections. Unit features outputs for panel-mounted LEDs (sold separately) to display occupancy. It will detect any powered loco, and unpowered rolling stock equipped with resistor wheelsets. Requires DS54 or SE8C, both sold separately, to transmit occupancy information to the LocoNet System.

LocoNet Occupancy Detector -- For 16 Detection Sections Cost-effective occupancy detection for 16 detection sections. Add one or two RX4 Transponder Receivers (sold separately) and you can have Transponding in 8 zones. This means that youll know when a detection section is occupied and the unique ID of all transponders in that section. Ops Mode Read Back lets you read back CV Values on any section of track that is set up for transponding with BDL168 and one or more RX4s. Unit also includes outputs for panel-mounted LEDs to display local occupancy and power zone status. Detects any powered loco, and unpowered rolling stock equipped with resistor wheelsets. Simply connect to LocoNet to transmit occupancy information to your LocoNet System

Power Management Equipment -- Smart Booster w/Intelligent Autoreverse 8 Amp Use to expand your Digitrax or other DCC systems. Additional units provide more power to run more trains, automate reverse loops and simplify electronic isolation of portions of your layout so a short circuit stops only one area. Automatically shuts down if command-control drive signal is lost; layout will not convert to DC operation if a cable or connection is broken so train won't "take off" if they suddenly loose the DCC signal. Accepts 50/60Hz AC or DC from your current transformer, minimum input 12V AC or DC. Maximum input 22V AC or 28V DC. Auto reset for overheating and short circuit protection, with unique "smart" protection that won't weld derailed locos to the track. Each unit allows up to 22 operators and can be used with various Digitrax throttles, sold separately. Uses LocoNet Expansion Network for easy, reliable hook-up and future system expansion. All connections are made with six conductor telephone jacks and wire.

Power Management Equipment - Command Station/Booster -- 5 Amp Operates as the command station (generates DCC packets that tell decoders what to do) and main system booster (receives the DCC signal from the Command Station, amplifies it and puts it on the track as the power that runs the locos) on a Digitrax LocoNet system, and accepts input from any Digitrax throttle, sold separately. Can also be used in conjunction with your computer, if desired.

Wireless Super Throttles -- Infra-Ready These hand-held controllers feature dual click encodes to make using Digitrax products easier. Other features include a full numeric keypad and multi-line, backlit LCD display.

Wireless Super Throttles -- With Radio These hand-held controllers feature dual click encodes to make using Digitrax products easier. Other features include a full numeric keypad and multi-line, backlit LCD display. Full numeric keypad, single-key controls for function control, MU operations, programming, editing and more. Controls functions 0-12.

Computer Interfaces -- For Computer w/IBM Compatible COM or RS232 Communications Port Designed to let a computer with an IBM compatible COM, or RS232 communications port, monitor Digitrax LocoNet. Application software running in the computer can the interpret the activity on the LocoNet and report via a monitor. The MS100 is a signal level translator between LocoNet and a 25 pin DB25 style RS232 port. For example, a Railroad CTC type panel displaying a "schematic" layout of the railroad can be set up to respond to software messages received via LocoNet to indicate block occupancy, signal indication and other information received from detection devices attached to LocoNet. For IBM compatibles with 9 pin male DB9 type COM port connector.

Quad Section Power Manager w/Auto Reversing Get the benefits of sectioning your layout and auto reversing without additional boosters. PM42 has 4 levels of short circuit detection sensitivity settings so you can use it with a wide range of DCC equipment. The PM42 lets you divide the output of a single booster into four sections for auto reversing, or to isolate areas of your layout so only an affected area shuts down if a short circuit occurs. Each unit can run four sections from a single booster, in any combination of regular sections and auto reversing sections.

Power Supplies -- 20 Amp for Digital Command Control Regulated power supply delivers more power with less heat for more efficient booster operation. Operate up to four five-amp boosters with the PS2012 supply. Scale selectable for use with N, HO or large scale. DC Ammeter. On/Off Switch. Integral cooling fan. Design coordinated for use with Digitrax products.

Power Supplies -- Ready to Run 15V AC 5 Amps 75 VA Output Recommended for powering all Digitrax Starter Sets and Accessories. Also recommended for DC use. Simply plug power supply into an appropriate wall outlet (AC 120V 60Hz), attach the two output leads to your DCC Booster or other device that accepts up to 5 amps, 15V AC. Unit is overload-protected.

Block Transponding Receivers -- 4 Block Unit For use with Block Occupancy Detector #245-BDL16, sold separately. Transponder receivers are the track level component that you use to set up the track sections where you want transponding to be active. You wont need to equip every track section to have adequate coverage in most cases. Visit the Digitrax Web site at www.digitrax.com for some ideas on equipping your layout with transponding.
