-
With the output “
Feedback
“ of the
DigitalBoosters DB-4
is it possible to inform your
model railway software
if the tracks receive presently digital current from the
DB-4
or if
the tracks are switched voltage-free caused by a short-circuit.
6.5. Automatic Switch-On (Auto Go):
With the
jumper J2
“
Auto Go
” is it possible to adjust the
DigitalBooster DB-4
that the
unit perform a
continuous
check
every 5 seconds
if the
short-circuit is still present
.
The
DigitalBooster DB-4
will
supply
current to the connected
track section
automatically
if the
short-circuit
has been
eliminated
. The
jumper J2
has be
set
for
this function.
The
automatic switch-on
function is
not activated
if the
jumper J2
has been removed.
For
activating
the
automatic switch-on function
“
Auto Go
” has the
jumper J1
“
Short Report
” to be removed and therefore is the
DigitalBooster DB-4
not reporting
recognized short circuits
to the digital command station
.
7. Addresses for WatchDog- and On-/Off switch function:
The
WatchDog-
and the
On-/Off switch function
of the
DigitalBooster DB-4
will be
controlled via
accessory addresses
(
turnout addresses
) which are used as well
for
the
switching
of
turnouts
or
signals
.
Accessory addresses
are combined at
groups of four
. The
addresses 1 to 4
are
forming the
first group
the
addresses 5 to 8
the
second group
etc. The
highest valid
four-fold address group
for the
programming
of the
DigitalBooster DB-4
is for
Märklin-Motorola data format
the
group 313 to 316
and for the
DCC-data format
the
group 1021 to 1024
.
From our
Web-Site
you can
download
at the
section
“Downloads”
the
file “Four-Fold-
Address Blocks”
for listing all
valid four-fold address groups
.
The
WatchDog-
and the
On-/Off switch-function
can be
assigned
to an
own
or as well
to a
common four-fold address group
.
Separated address sections
for the
WatchDog-
and for the
On-/Off switch-function
are recommended if you use
several
DigitalBooster DB-4
. Then is it possible to
release
the
WatchDog-Function
of all
boosters via one
common address
.
For the
On-/Off switch function
is it possible to
assign
for this case for each
DigitalBooster DB-4
an
individual address
over an own
four-fold address group
.
The
address
for the
WatchDog-Function
is always the
first address
(
basic address
)
of a
four-fold group
. The
address
for the
On-/Off switch-function
is always the
third
address
(
basic a 2
) of
the programmed four-fold group
.
