22.0 DCS51 Error Messages
The DCS51 displays four types of error messages:
1) Short circuit shutdown occurs when the DCS51 detects a short circuit in
the power district where it is connected to the layout. This can be a loco that
has derailed or picked a switch or some other conductive material lying across
the tracks. In this case you will see an
“o”
character walking across the display
from left to right. Once the short is cleared, the DCS51 will resume normal
operations. Note: If you turn the DCS51 off during a short circuit, you will
need to press the Power key to regain control of the layout once power is
applied again.
2) Current overload: A walking “c”occurs when the DCS51 has reached its 3
Amp current limit. In this case you should run fewer locomotives or add more
boosters to increase the current limit of the total layout. See Section 25.3 for
information on adding another DCS51 or see www.digitrax.com for informa-
tion about adding boosters.
3) Input overvoltage: A walking “H” occurs when the input power to the
DCS51 causes the internal voltage level to exceed about 16.9V DC. The
DCS51 is designed to operate with DC input power only, off a 12V battery or
with a PS314 power supply. These are configured to be below this upper volt-
age limit.
Note if you use an AC input supply such as a PS315 or PS515 you
will likely see this error message, and the DCS51 will not allow track
power to be turned on to protect equipment on the layout.
