 -

 

 

If  there  are  several 

output  plugs

  supplied  with  the 

Switched  Mode  Mains  Power 

Supply DB-4-PowerSupply

 please select the plug 

5,5X2,1

. This plug has an 

outside 

diameter

 of 

5,5mm

 and a 

bore diameter

 of 

2,1mm

. The 

outside pole

 is 

negative

 and 

the 

inner pole

 is 

positive

 

Please attend as well to the 

instruction

 supplied together with the 

DB-4-PowerSupply

 

4. DB-4 connection to an Own Track Section:

 

 

The 

DigitalBooster DB-4

 is a 

power amplifier

 for your 

digital model railway layout

 
The 

digital current

 of the 

DigitalBooster DB-4

 is available at the 

clamp KL1

 next to 

the two light emitting diodes. 
 
The DB-4 supplies 

digital current

 to the 

own track section

 via this clamp. This section 

has  to  be 

electrical  separated

  from  the 

adjoining  track  sections

  because  those 

receive their 

supply

 from the 

digital command station with integrated booster

 or from 

further booster

 
 

4.1. 3-Conductor Track System:

 

 
If the manufacturer of your digital command station 

permits

 a 

common layout ground 

(“brown”)

  the 

center conductor 

of  the 

3-conductor  track

  has  to  be 

isolated

  at  the 

cross  over  joints

  from one  to  the  next booster  electrical  circuit. The 

isolated  center 

conductor

  gets  the  supply  from  the  connection  “

red

”  of  the 

clamp  KL1

  of  the 

DigitalBooster DB-4
