[edit] Stationary Decoders

Debating which decoder is for you? Check out the Digitrax Stationary Decoders page for tips, suggestions, and comparisons.

[edit] DS64

The DS64 Stationary Decoder allows you to install and operate your turnouts directly through any DCC system that has turnout control. The DS64 can operate various turnout motors - solenoid turnout machines to slow motion motors. A summary of the features:

• Operates four turnouts.
  

  

  DS64 mounted under layout, driving 8 slow motion machines
  • Slow motion machines. Can drive up to 2 per output
  • Solenoid (snap) machines
• Switch inputs for turnout control
• LocoNet Control
• Integral capacitor discharge.
• Operates from track power or a separate power supply.
• Buffered switch inputs.

[edit] DS44

Although this may be Digitrax's lowest cost stationary decoder, it still packs a punch for those needing turnout control for slow motion machines. Summary of features:

• Control 4 slow motion turnout machines from your DCC throttle.
• Quick set up for sequential addresses (like the DS54)
• Independent address set up also available (you can choose any stationary address for each turnout machine)

[edit] DS51K1

Stationary decoder for single Kato Unitrack turnouts. Recommended for HO scale.

[edit] Power Management

[edit] PM4

PM4 PCB. Four relays, one per channel. Card edge connector behind relays connects the PCB via an edge connector (not shown)

Power manager, 4 outputs, each output can function as an auto reverse module or circuit breaker (not both). It can be supplied by multiple boosters, or only one. Various parameters can be altered, including trip current for the circuit breaker.

This unit requires some patience soldering all the wires to the edge connector. Mounting the unit requires #5 or smaller screws, or the edge connector can be mounted and the card inserted.
