If you use a
larger
and therefore
mechanically
and
electrically
more
rugged gauge

remove the jumper J5
. The
DigitalBooster DB-4
will now
supply
a
maximum
digital current of 4.5 Ampere
to the connected track.

The
jumper J4
has been
set ex-factory
.
With this setting can be the
WatchDog-
and
On-/Off switch function
controlled by your
model railway software respectively via your digital command station by using the
Märklin-Motorola-Data Format
.
If you want to use the
DCC-Data Format
for the
WatchDog-
and the
On-/Off switch
function please
remove
the
jumper
J4
.
6.3. RailCom
®
*
-cutout Creation or Suppression:
The
RailCom
®
*
-cutout
will be
created
if the
jumper J3
has been set. If the
Jumper J3
has been removed there will be
no
RailCom
®
*
-cutout
created
.
The selection with
jumper J3
if the
DigitalBooster DB-4
shall create or suppress
a
RailCom
®
*
-cutout
is only possible if the
data format
for the
WatchDog-

On-/Off
switch function
has been
set to DCC (Jumper J4 removed).
6.4. Short Circuit Report to the Command Station (Short Report):
If the
Jumper J1
"
Short Report
"
has been set
the
DigitalBooster DB-4
will report a
short circuit within the connected track section via the used booster bus to the digital
command station. In this case the
digital command station
will
switch-off
all boosters
.
If your
model railway software
includes a so called
Booster-Management
this gadget
can
prevent
that the digital command station will
switch-off
the
complete layout
if a
short circuit occurs within a booster section.
The trains will therefore stop only inside the booster section where the short circuit has
been occurred. All other booster sections will remain in function.
To initiate that the
DigitalBooster DB-4
shall
not report a short circuit
to the
digital
command station
please
remove
the
jumper J1
.
