Features
DB150 Command Station / Booster
- Full LocoNet Capability
- Up to 22 locomotives and 22 throttles in command station mode.
- Can be used as an Intelligent Auto Reversing Booster
- Use with any LocoNet throttle
- Built in broadcast write only programmer
- Five Amp Booster Rated
- Many command station options are user customizable.
- Over temperature & short circuit protection
- Selectable multi-scale operation for N, HO, and large-scale layouts
- Track Status indicator shows voltage and signal type
- Stabilized Track Drive Output
- Over Voltage Protected
- Sync output configures DB150 Operating Mode & connects the DB150 to expansion boosters
- High impedance balanced or unbalanced signal input receivers on the LocoNet Interface allow boosting of several different types of command control signals
- Auto shutdown if command control drive signal is lost so that the layout will not convert to DC operation if a cable or connection is broken. The trains won't just "take-off" if they are not getting the DCC signal
UT2
- Simple, cost effective throttles feature one large knob for speed control and a direction switch for direction control. Great add on throttle for all Digitrax Starter Sets, especially Zephyrs!
- Locomotives are selected with dial switches, immediately see which loco motive is assigned to the throttle. Unique locomotive selection allows you to pick up running locomotives at their current speed.
- Utility Throttles can control 4 functions. These throttles are perfect for casual users and for those who prefer a more "traditional" throttle.
- The Utility Throttles are LocoNet Throttles, designed to operate on existing Digitrax LocoNet systems. These throttles can acquire & run one locomotive or consist (even the ones with four digit addresses). The user can control speed, direction, & functions for these units. By pressing Run/Stop, the user can stop the unit he is running but will not stop the whole layout.
- 128 speed step operation
- LED indicators, selection knobs and large speed control knob show throttle status at a glance & make operation easy.
- Control F0, F1, F2 & F3 from the keypad. These functions can be used for lighting, sound, etc.
- Easy access to two digit addresses 00-98.
- Address 99 is set up so that you can use it to select locomotives with four digit addresses. Gives access to all DCC decoder addresses.
