Thank you, Don. That makes sense, and I’m a little surprised NCE doesn’t cover that in their documentation.

I have the PC but used a short section of isolated track some years ago. Seemed logical for program track from all I have read in forums over the years and the manual. Rich

Otherwise you will be programming every item attached to the mainline output of the PowerCab. (Guilty). Wiring for DCC has instructions for making a programing track.

This isn't strictly a wiring question but I'm hoping for some help/direction. I have a Stewart Hobbies F7 equipped with a Soundtraxx decoder. Being new to JMRI I am trying to add it to my roster but

The NMRA Manufacturer ID list shows 141 as "Throttle-Up (Soundtraxx)". Rich

Bonjour, Configuration variable CV 7 contains the version number of the decoder. In Europe some manufacturers give additional information in another variable. Have a good day in

If it is a factory installed decoder, Soundtraxx has a spot on its website about factory installed decoders. Find it at: https://www.soundtraxx.com/factory/index.php Greg Williams

Thank you all for your tips. Another user pointed me to the JMRI websitehttp://jmri.org/xml/XSLT/pages/DecoderId.html which has helped me narrow the field considerably. Not the easiest thing to find

Nick, You may want to download Decoder Pro from the same website. I had similar identity problems with a factory installed decoder that was different from the accompanying information, and also had an

I am working with Decoder Pro, that’s what was giving me strange readings on the board. That said, even with the “read from decoder” I was presented dozens of options, so I was looking for a

Greetings I am wiring a power system for my layout. I am using a 15V 7A power supply to provide switchmode open frame power supply to provide 13.5V nominal DC power around the layout, as well as

YES!, you should fuse the input to the power supply. Don’t forget to account the startup surge. Dave McBrayer Castro Valley, CA On Nov 19, 2018, at 18:44, Lindsay Hughes I am using a 15V 7A power

I want to add some clarification to this topic. The question was whether the power input to the DCS 240 should be fused and the answer was that the input to the power supply should be fused.

Good advice Allan. DonV

I have seen these recommended and even used inside Lionel ZW and KW transformers. Variable current ratings available. Charles US Stock 10pcs 6A 30V PPTC PolySwitch Resettable Fuse Electronics, Cars,

Hi Gang: I've added these to my ZW. Much more protection than the breaker on the common wire.

You could also purchase my product and be able to fine tune the current setting: http://voltscooter.com/?page_id=134 The maximum setting of my product is lower then the 6 Ampere one mentioned

Question. If I wind the interface wire around a 110 extension cord will the dcc signal be affected by the 110 current?

Not sure what you mean by interface wire. There are 3 classes or wires found in a layout. 1) Low Voltage Control/Communication Cables 2) Low voltage DCC Track or DC/AC cables that distribute layout
