4.6  General Return (GR) Terminal

The terminal marked General Return(GR) provides a primary current return 

between boosters and other devices, electrical safety features, and a RF ground 

reference.  This is also the connection point that should be used for the nega-

tive(-) connection from a shared power supply.  See section 3.0 regarding pow-

ering your DB210/220  This should be the ONLY point of any DB210/DB220 

installation that is connected to the AC safety ground pin provided on most 3 

pin 110V AC power sockets.  Grounding the system is a sensible optional safe-

ty precaution.

4.7  Rail B (RB) and Rail A (RA) or Rail 1B (R1B) and Rail 

1A(R1A)  Terminals

Depending on if you have a DB220 or DB210 these terminals will be labeled 

either R1B or RB and R1A or RA. Connect these terminals to the track sec-

tions powered by the DB210/DB220.  If you are using more than one booster, 

be sure to use double gaps between each booster section and always connect 

the same rail to the same terminal on each booster. For example connect all 

Rail A terminals to the right rail and all Rail B terminals to the left rail or vice 

versa on all track sections.

4.8  Track Status(TRK STAT) or Track 1 Status(TRK 1 STAT) 

Indicator

Depending on if you have a DB220 or DB210 this indicator will be labeled 

either TRK STAT and TRK 1 STAT. The 

TRACK STATUS

 indicator shows 

that there is voltage on 

RA or R1A

 and 

RB or R1A

 terminals.  The indicator will 

be lit when there is track voltage, and not lit when track voltage is off.  The 

indicator will change color indicating various degrees of “Zero Stretching” if 

used to operate a conventional (analog) locomotive. 

4.9  LOCONET Jacks A, B and C

These jacks let you expand your Digitrax system by simply plugging LocoNet 

devices in to the system.  They can be used for throttles and other LocoNet 

devices.  These jacks are functionally the same and can be used interchange-

ably.

4.10  SCALE Switch (O/G, N, HO)

This switch sets the nominal track voltage.

4.10.1  DB210/DB220 Voltage Trim Settings.

The DB210/DB220 is capable of custom voltage output ranging from approxi-

mately 8v to 24v with a suitable power supply.  Each of the 3 scale settings can 

be trimmed to a custom voltage setting.
