  Connect to the Power Supply 

  Connect to the Layout 

  Connect to the Command Station 

Connect to the Power Supply 

Power supplies sold by SPROG DCC Ltd at the same time as an SBOOST II 
are supplied pre-wired to the pluggable terminal block.  

If using your own power supply, or the power supply provided by your dealer 
is not pre-wired, then it must be connected to the Power In terminals, 
observing the correct polarity. 

Connect to the Layout 

Connect the SBOOST II to the track using the track terminals 

“Tr A” and “Tr 

B” of the pluggable terminal block. 

Connect to the Command Station 

Connection to a SPROG II (version 2 and earlier) 

The pluggable terminal block is arranged to allow a straight forward 
connection to a SPROG II for both the DCC signal and to supply power to the 
SPROG II (See below), see the picture below. 

Connect the SBOOST II DCC inputs 

“In A” and “In B” to the SPROG II track 

outputs. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Powering a SPROG II (all versions) 

There are two considerations to be taken into account when powering an 
SBOOST II and a SPROG II from the same power supply. 

The electrical isolation between the layout and command station (i.e. SPROG 
II) will no longer be effective.
