you can select as well an
own four-fold address block

If the

flashing the red LED a little faster
.

programmed addresses
are now
permanently stored
but can be
changed
at any time by
repeating
the
programming process
. Now the
green LED
will
glow
and the
track section
which is
connected
to the
DB-4
will get
supply
of
digital
voltage
.
8. WatchDog: Communication with the Model Railway Software:
If your
model railway software
supports
the
WatchDog-Function
of the
DB-4
respectively our
WatchDog-Decoder WD-DEC
please register in your
model railway
software
your selected address for the
WatchDog-Function
. It is always the
first
address
(
basic address
)
of the
selected
group of four
.
Function:
After switching-on
the
DigitalBooster DB-4
is the
WatchDog-Function
not activated
to enable the
operation
of the
model railway layout
eventually
without PC-control via
the
digital command station
.
The
model railway software
can
activate
the
WatchDog-Function
with the command
basic address
“
straight
” and has to
confirm
always
within 5 seconds
with a
new
command basic address
“
straight
”. If there is
no confirmation within
5 seconds
the
model railway software has lost control
over the
model railway layout
. The
Digital
Booster DB-4
will switch the
track voltage free
and all trains will stop immediately
.
The
red LED
of the
DB-4 will flash
and
indicates
therefore the
switch-off situation.
