9.0 Updating the DB210/DB220 to the latest firmware
Occasionally Digitrax makes updates and improvements to the operational
code of its products. In order to update your DB210/DB220 you will need to
have the DigiIPLII utility installed on a computer connected to your LocoNet
and the latest firmware (.dmf) file. The DB210/DB220 can be updated via
LocoNet using a DCS240, PR3 or other computer to LocoNet interface. When
updating via LocoNet the PWR indicator will flash Green alternating with the
NET indicator flashing RED slow, about once a second For complete instruc

10.0 Troubleshooting Problems
10.1 Clean Track
The majority of intermittent operation problems can be traced to bad connec-
tions and poor or noisy wheel pickups on locomotives. Check track cleanliness
and quality of wheel pickups.
10.2 The Quarter Trick
If your track does not have adequate power supply to the locomotives, then
the signal won’t get through either. Take a quarter or screwdriver blade and
go around your layout creating electrical shorts every 10 feet. Your DB210/
DB220 should beep 4 times and shutdown when the short is present. When the
short is removed, the booster should beep once within 2-3 seconds and return
to normal operation. If this does not happen, then you need to add more feed-
ers.
See Section 2.0.
10.3 The LT1 Tester
Check your LocoNet cables with the LT1 tester to be sure you don’t have any
cables that were made incorrectly.
See your Command Station Manual for
more information.
