A. Quick Start
1. All connections involve two wire inputs from the DCC Booster [or Main DCC Power Bus]
into a PSX-AR and two wire Outputs to the isolated reversing section or loop.
2. All PSX-AR Auto reverser/circuit breakers are ready to operate without programming
3. Digitrax users should install the Digitrax Configuration Jumper wire from Terminal
J7-3 to J7-4. Once installed, move the program jumper to cover pins J3.1 and J3.2
and apply DCC power to J1. Wait until D6 stops flashing, remove power, and
restore the Program Jumper to cover J3-2 and J3-3.
4. NCE Power Cab users must do one [
NOT
BOTH
] of the following:
a. Install a jumper from J6-1 to J6-2
b. Program CV49=1
5. PSX-AR’s are not compatible with Digitrax Analog Address [00] or any method that
adjusts the “0” bit timing to allow operation of an analog engine.
6. Test the PSX-AR for functionality:
a. Turn on DCC power to the PSX-AR.
b. The PSX-AR should turn on with both D12 and D7 indicating power and D6 off.
c. Take a piece of wire and connect J1-1 to J2-3. Nothing should change.
d. Connect J1-1 to J2-4. The PSX-AR should reverse and D6 should be slowly flashing
with D12 and D7 indicating power.
e. Connect J1-1 to J2-3. The PSX-AR should “unreverse”.
f. D6 should stop flashing, but D12 and D7 should remain on.
g. Repeat this test except connect J1-2 to J2-4.
h. D12 and D7 should remain on, and D6 should be off.
i. Connect J1-2 to J2-3. The PSX-AR should reverse. D12 & D7 are on, with D6 slowly
flashing.
j. Now connect J1-2 to J2-4.
k. The PSX-AR should again “unreverse” leaving D12 & D7 on and D6 off.
l. Verify D7 LED & D12 LED are ON, and the D6 LED is OFF.
Determining the software revision of your PSX-AR: The software revision of the PSX-AR is easily determined.
Simply place the unit in the program mode and turn it on. D6 will flash the Morse code pattern of the software
revision letter. The PSX-AR will flash long-short for revision N.
