Digitrax FAQs

Q: AR1 with Digitrax Zephyr Xtra

When using an AR1 with the DCS51 Zephyr Xtra, set Option Switch 18 to closed (OPSw18='c').

Increasing this setting to 500 milliseconds allows the AR1 to change the track phasing before the DCS51's booster reacts to the momentary short circuit when the train passes over the reversing section's gaps.

Addition trimming may be required using the Tunable Trip Current (TTC) potentiometer on the AR1's circuit board.

Q: Can a Booster be used with a Digitrax Zephyr

Yes. An additional booster may be used with a Digitrax Command Station, such as the Zephyr series. The booster will require its own power supply, and a connection to LocoNet. LocoNet delivers the signal from the command station to the booster, allowing it to operate in sync with the booster already built into the command station.

It may be possible to use a booster from another manufacturer with your Digitrax command station, provided the necessary connections to LocoNet are available.

Q: Digitrax PR4 and LocoNet

The PR4 should be on its own LocoNet segment, with no devices upstream or downstream sharing the connection.

If other devices are connected (daisy chained) to it, the unit may become unstable and lockup when changing from Programming to LocoNet modes.

Ideally, it should connect directly to the command station's LocoNet port.
