5. Unpacking and starting up

The ECoSBoost is safely protected in a carton with a two-part blis-

ter when delivered. Please keep the packaging and this manual in

a safe place for later use. Only the original packaging guarantees

protection from transport damage.

5.1. Content of package

Please check that all items are contained in the package immedi-

ately after opening it.

• ECoSBoost digital amplifier
• For 50010: power supply 90VA
• For 50011: power supply 180VA
• Separate power supply cable for Euro sockets
• Separate power supply cable for US sockets
• One piece of 2-pole track connector terminal
• Instruction manual (this booklet)

If one of the components mentioned here should be missing, ple-

ase contact your retailer or dealer immediately.

5.2. Locating the device

Place the ECoSBoost on a flat, clean and dry surface within sight

of your model train layout.. Provide suitable conditions for your

ECoSBoost: ideally operate the ECoSBoost at room temperature.

Avoid heat sources in the immediate surroundings.
Put up your ECoSBoost in such a way that the cooling slits at the

front are not covered. Only then a sufficient air circulation will be

ensured. Please consider that the fans start temperature-controlled

and might produce exhaust air.

5.2.1. Screw the device tight

The ECoSBoost can be directly screwed onto the layout. You just

need to remove the (only attached) transparent cover and using

wood screws, secure through the ECoSBoost as shown in figure 1.

• When using ECoSBoost outside you must protect it from the

elements under all circumstances! Only keep ECoSBoost out-

side as long as you run trains and avoid temperatures below 8°

Celsius or above 30° Celsius.

• Do not use any aggressive chemicals, cleaning solutions or sol

vents for cleaning ECoSBoost. Never use liquids or spray for

cleaning the monitor. Instead use a clean slightly (!) moist cloth

and only when ECoSBoost is switched off.

• Do not attempt to open ECoSBoost.

Warning

Your model railway layout must never be left unattended! An

unnoticed short circuit may lead to fire risk due to heating!

4. Introduction – Why Booster?

As with analogue, a sufficient power supply for the layout is essen-

tial for the safe operation of your ECoS command station or your

Märklin® central station®. All power consuming devices on the

layout such as locomotives, wagon lighting sets, turnouts, signals

etc. have to be powered with energy.
This task is performed by the so-called “boosters”.
Boosters amplify the track signals produced by the digital com-

mand station and power the connected track section.
Both the ESU ECoS as well as the Märklin® central station ® have

installed such a booster.
If the power consumption of all running trains is however, higher

than the maximum current the command station is able to supply,

you must divide your layout in to sections. Every section will be

for this task. It is perfectly prepared for being used with the ESU

ECoS or the Märklin® central station®.
The question, whether additional boosters are needed, cannot be

answered easily in practice as it is difficult to determine the actual

power requirement of your layout.

You can roughly estimate the power requirement as follows:

Running locos without LokSound:
Gauge N:

Between 350mA and 600mA

Gauge H0:
