General Discussion / Re: 5 AMP Booster with dynamis Pro
September 14, 2012, 04:03:22 PM
So I spent a month following your thread and looking for this answer with no luck so I will try again.  With the Dynamis Pro box, can I run 2.3 amps to one isolated section, and also run the bus wire to a booster (and I do not care about extra cost of Bachmann 5 amp booster).  Will output to that booster produce 5 amps to it's own isolated section and will there be any issue with the amp difference when the engine crosses over from one section to the next.  I am not concerned that the programming track, run from the command station box output halts the rest of the system during the programming period.  I also am asking for help on how to add a second booster.  Does it hook up to the first booster, or also get connected to the power bus.  It seems that all the diagrams I can find use a cab bus output which my Dynamis does not have.  I believe i understand my output needs and my long term plans are marginal for 5 amp total but probably not if I can split 2.3 and 5 amp outputs.  If I can not do this, then I will need 2 boosters, hence my double pronged question. 

Thank you for any support.

Just trying to add my first attachment  This is the power setup I was thinking of.  Will it work or can I only go directly to a booster with the power Buss from the Pro Box.  If the file reference does not work, I will try again another day.

To further confuse this issue, can I run my buss wire from the pro box directly to a section of the main track and also to a booster thereby utilizing the 2.3 amps of the command station/pro box as well as the 5 amps of the booster.  This would allow me to have a programming track run from the command station output, 2 power districts with circuitbreakers from the output of the probox buss prior to the connection to the booster and multiple power districts from the booster.  All of these sections would be use isolated joiners.

I have a diagram of this, but cannot figure out how to attach it to this message.  I have never joined a forum, used facebook etc and am a complete newby to model railroading (less an oval HO train from 45 years ago).

Wish someone would answer this post who has added any booster to the dynamis pro system.  Hard to believe this is true, (that you lose the programming track capability) but I would not want to experiment to check it out.

Does anyone have a schematic of how to hook up the 5 AMP booster to the Dynamis system with the Pro Box.  I do not want to purchase a booster (even though I need one) without knowing if I lose the Programming Track ability.  Also can you add 2 boosters and what would this look like?

please show me a clear picture of how to hook up the 5 amp booster to the dynamis wireless with a pro box.
