Power 2 as booster for digital layouts
Power 2 can be used as a current booster in a
digital layout.
The data format depends on the central
controller being used. i.e. with DAISY and the
Intellibox, Motorola and DCC format are used,
with the TwinCenter the DCC format is used, with
Märklin centers the Motorola format is used.
Every booster powers its own track section with
up to 2A digital current, which must be isolated
from the remainder of the layout.
Connection of various devices
LocoNet controller
The DAISY system’s LocoNet output i.e. the
LocoNet-B output from the Intellibox or
TwinCenter is connected to the DAISY socket on
the Power 2.
Important:
Boosters must not be daisy chained.
If a number of Power 2 boosters are required
they should be connected to the LocoNet output
of the controller via a LocoNet distributor
(Uhlenbrock 62 250) and each booster is
connected to the distributor via its own LocoNet
cable.
LocoNet devices
If the Power 2 is connected to the central
controller (e.g. DAISY or Intellibox) via its DAISY
socket then other LocoNet devices, such as
FRED, DAISY handcontroller, IB-Control, Profi-
Control or LocoNet feedback unit, can be
connected to its LocoNet socket.
The total current usage of all devices must not
exceed 300mA.
If higher a current is needed on the LocoNet you
insert a LocoNet power feeder (63 100).
Digital Center with 5 pole booster output
Connect the 5 pole booster output from the
Märklin Digital Center in Motorola format (e.g.
6020, 6021), from Intellibox or TwinCenter to the
booster socket on Power 2.
Note:
LocoNet data can not be transferred via
this connection. For this type of connection the
DAISY and LocoNet sockets are provided.
Power 2 as DAISY system expansion
Together, the DAISY handcontroller and Power 2
form the DAISY system. A DAISY system can
control locomotives and turnouts in Motorola or
DCC format. The connection method and
description of the DAISY system can be found in
the DAISY manual 66 200.
