Have you recently changed anything in your layout wiring?
If so, try dis-
abling the change to see if they layout will run without the “upgrade.” You may
need to de-bug the upgraded wiring.
Have you changed any of the DB150 or DT400 option settings?
If so, go
back and re-set them to the default values and check to see if the layout will
run.
Have you recently installed additional boosters on your layout?
If so,
check to be certain that these boosters are set up properly as boosters. If more
than one command station is operating on your layout, you may experience
unexpected operation when the decoders are taking commands from two differ-
ent sources (command stations.)
When LocoNet is first powered up all Digitrax command stations check for
other command stations also operating on LocoNet. The first command station
that powers up will become the command station and all others will automati-
cally operate as boosters. If you have two separate operating LocoNets and you
connect them with a LocoNet cable, both command stations will continue to
operate and operating problems will occur. Modular layouts are at a high risk
of encountering this problem if more than one part of the layout is up and run-
ning and then those parts are added together. Be sure in this case that you com-
pletely power down all operating LocoNets before combining them into one
big LocoNet to avoid having more than one command station trying to run the
layout.
5.0 DB150 Control Panel
5.1 Power Input
The two “POWER IN” terminals on all Digitrax boosters & command stations
are the power input connections. Digitrax does not recommend sharing a com-
mon power source between multiple Digitrax products. Each unit should have
its own dedicated power supply for best system performance.
