Title: Booster setup question
Post by: conradin on April 22, 2007, 11:39:41 PM
I am planning to purchase a booster (non Bachmann...cannot afford to buy the Bachmann booster).

How should I hook it up to a train system?

I currently have both DCC command cap and the regular Bachmann cap.  Should I hook the booster between the electric outlet and the cap (ie, replacing the normal power adaptor), attach the booster between the track and the cap, or setup the booster between the electric outlet and the track itself (ie, the track will have two electrical input, one from the cap, the other from the booster).

Thanx in advance..

A DCC power booster is connected between the command station and the tracks. The E-Z Command Control Center is Bachmann’s command station.

E-Z Command Control Center is compatible only with a DCC power booster built to conform to NMRA RP-9.1.2  Opto-isolated (Current) Interface.
