The
Hornby Select Digital Control
unit can have stored in its memory 59 digitally controlled locomotives.
At any one time the
Select
can have running (providing the power is available) or on standby 10 locomotives.
This is more than sufficient for an above average layout, however should an eleventh loco be “called up”, one of
the previous 10 locomotives will be returned to the memory. The locomotive that is returned, will be the
locomotive that has the lowest current Speed address compared to the other 9.
Alternatively, if all 10 locomotives are stationary, the locomotive with the lowest address number will be returned
to the memory.
Control Up to 10 Locomotives
The transformer included with the
Select
unit will probably provide enough power to allow for three locomotives
to be running at any one time, providing the models used are fitted with power efficient motors. Should more
power be needed the
Select
unit is capable of being connected to a R 8113 Hornby 4 amp Power Unit which
should provide enough power for an average layout.
If under special circumstances even more power is needed it may become necessary for a “Booster” unit to be
fitted.This will entail the track circuit to be broken up into large isolating sections to which the Booster is connected.
The Booster will in turn be connected to the XpressNet port at the back of the Select unit.
There are several “Boosters” on the market, with each one supplied complete with the relevant fitting
instructions.
Consult your Hornby DCC dealer for further details and advice.
15V DC Analogue Accessory Power Supply
The
Hornby Select Digital Control
unit incorporates a separate 15V DC outlet which can be used to power
non-digital controlled accessories (analogue) such as point motors or similar devices as well as lighting.
