For this PIKO recommends the PIKO Digi 2 with the T3 desk top transformer. With 16 V
~ output voltage the PIKO T3 desk top transformer produces a current of 28 VA (1.75
A). This means that 4 locomotives with a power requirement of approx. 400 mA each
can be run on an electrically isolated track section.
on an electrically isolated track section.
The T3 desk top transformer can supply current to electrically isolated track circuits
through the PIKO Digi 2. Each T3 desk top transformer must be connected to a separate
PIKO Digi 2. Using the T3 desk top transformer the maximum performance range of the
PIKO Digi 2 can be utilised.
In order for the digital data from the PIKO Digi 1 to reach the additional electrically iso-
lated track sections, the PIKO Digi 1 must be connected to each of the PIKO Digi 2 units.
To ensure that the strength of the signal sent by the PIKO Digi 1 is adequate no more
than 10 PIKO Digi 2 units should be connected to one PIKO Digi 1. You should make
sure that the length of the lead from each PIKO Digi 2 to the PIKO Digi 1 does not
exceed 2 m.
The PIKO Digi 2 is connected to the PIKO Digi 1 via the lead connected to the bottom of
the PIKO Digi 2 at exit "B". This lead is connected in parallel to the PIKO Digi 1 connec-
tion at the connecting clip on the G231 track.
Using a separate connecting clip the PIKO Digi 2 itself is then connected via the lead at
exit "A" to the electrically isolated track section. (You can use the PIKO Digi 2 in combi-
nation with the T3 desk top transformer in the same way as a booster for the PIKO Digi
Power Box. See diagram below.
