Title: Zepher
Post by: adari on November 22, 2007, 06:59:45 AM
Can you use the utility throttle with the Zepher? The utility throttle says it works with any item with loconet. Do you need to buy something else? It also said 2 extra out puts for extra control. Can I get as much info today
Thanks

From the Zepher manual.

"25.1 Adding LocoNet Throttles To Your DCS50
Any LocoNet throttle can be used with your DCS50. Simply plug the LocoNet
throttle into either LocoNet port on the back of your DCS50 or into any
LocoNet or Throttle Jack anywhere on your LocoNet system. If you want to be
able to plug in a throttle at a remote location, we recommend using a UP5
Universal panel.
Your DCS50 can handle up to 10 LocoNet Throttles. If you need to run more
than 10 throttles, you can move up to a Super Empire Builder II and be able to
run up to 22 throttles or to a Super Chief II with the capacity for running up to
120 throttles. You can continue to use your DCS50 as a throttle and booster
with either set on your Digitrax LocoNet system."

You can also connect up to two dc throttles to the jump ports, they will then act as a dcc throttle.
