automatic reversing will not cause analog(non decoder equipped) locos to auto
reverse.
If you choose manual operation, use a DPDT switch or relay to handle the
polarity change as the loco enters and leaves the reversing section.
If you choose to use a DB150 auto reversing booster to completely automate
the reversing section, power the reverse loop with a DB150 and power supply
and the main layout with your DCS100 and power supply. The DCS100 when
running as your command station will not auto-reverse.
6.8 Using a DB150 as an AutoReversing Booster
1. Start with an un-powered DCS100.
2. Connect the DB150’s
CONFIG A and GROUND terminals and CONFIG B
and
GROUND
terminals with two short lengths of wire.
3. Set the DB150’s
MODE
switch to
RUN.
4. Power up the DB150. The DB150 will automatically convert to automatic
reversing booster operation when you power it up.
5. Connect to your DCS100 or other DB150s on LocoNet via either
LocoNet
Jack A
or
B
using LocoNet Cables that were tested with an LT1.
