I’m somewhat befuddled on how to wire the PSX-ARSCFB to the Digitrax Loconet for the feed back feature. Our club layout has the BDL168s & PM42s and detection is set up for use with JMRI PanelPro. We have a panel set up and I need to understand how to wire the PSX-ARSCFB Network Feedback to be able to include it on our panel. I assume if the unit sends feedback, there should be a sensor number available to indicate there is something being detected on the section...
Read MoreDigitrax Address 00 & PSX Circuit Breakers
I see from your quick start guide on the PSX- series that these are not compatible with analog address 00. Is there a configuration option to allow for analog operation? Best regards, Rob…………North Georgia Modurail The address 00 on Digitrax works by stretching the pulse width of the “0” DCC data. The PSX powers itself from the DCC data. The problem is that the stretched pulse can be long enough that the PSX looses power. Depending on the...

Operating as a “cab”, the Power Cab can now use the “cab radio” built inside to talk to the command station via the RB02 just like any other radio cab does....
Read MoreWiring a Center Off DPDT Toggle Switch to a PowerPax Booster
I recently purchased a PowerPax to program my BLI locos. It works great! All of the red text warns me about using a DPDT switch to toggle between programming and normal DCC. It does mention the exception of using a DPDT with a center off. I do have a switch with the center off. Can I safely use it? All of the warnings have made me very cautious. I am manually switching the two sets of wires between programming and DCC operation and would like to clean it up a bit with...
