Purpose of Use and Function
A model railway system has a large number of power consumers that are connected to the digital voltage,
examples being locomotives, points, signals, lighting, etc. All of these components need to be supplied
with energy. The performance of the central control track output no longer suffices so that boosters have
to be used. These supply max. 3 A to new track and control sections. If the RailCom
®
option is activated
(activated as standard), with DCC packets, the booster generates a so-called RailCom
®
cutout that ena-
bles RailCom
®
local detectors or RailCom
®
-supported track occupied detectors such as the 10808 Z21
®
detector to be used.
The Z21
®
-Boosters was especially designed for use with the Z21
®
product line but it is also compatible
with older ROCO control centres and boosters. It is possible however that this necessitates a deactivation
of the RailCom
®
in the Z21
®
-Booster, please refer to Chapter: Connecting the Booster – Track Output and
Chapter: STOP Button and Configuration.
