Page 4: Description
1. Description Besides being a smart add-on throttle for digital Command Stations, the DAISY can also be connected to a Power2, thus yielding a complete digital (as well as analog train control) system – and is referred to as the “DAISY-System”. The DAISY software can be updated anytime. -
Page 5: Memory Function
Digital mode (DAISY-System) If a DAISY throttle is to be used as a digital Command Station for driving a digital layout, then it should connected to the “DAISY” con- nector of the first Power2 (also check the Power2 manual), using the provided spiral cable. - Page 6 DAISY Throttle mode If the DAISY is to be used as an add-on throttle, then it must be connected to the Command Station using a suitable LocoNet connection. In case the Command Station is a DAISY-System, any additional DAISY throttle should be connected to the “LocoNet” con- nector of a Power2 (or to a cable extension/connector coming from there).

DAISY 2. Digital mode (DAISY-System and DAISY throttle) Used as a digital control system, the combination of DAISY-throttle plus Power-2 (which we call “DAISY-System”) constitutes a multi-protocol digital Command Station for the Motorola old and new format (locomotive addresses 1 through 255) and for the DCC format (14, 28 and 128 speed steps;... -

F5 through F8 (and, keys [f1] through [f4] can be used to control those – as long as the [Locomotive] key remains pressed). However, if the DAISY is either part of the DAISY-System (i.e., it is connected to a Power2 through its “DAISY” connector) or is connected as add-on throttle to a DAISY-System, then functions F5 through F8 are not supported —... - Page 9 Intellibox, a Twin-Center, etc.) or to the “DAISY” connector of a Power2.

Page 16: Programming Mode
Important Decoder programming commands will be repeated by all boosters con- nected to the DAISY-System. Therefore, it is important that only the locomotive(s) which you wish to program/configure should be sitting on the rails. Other locomotives must be temporarily removed from the layout. -
Page 17: Analog Mode (Daisy-System)
If the analog layout features more than one “electric circuit” (or section), then it is possible to link (“daisy-chain”) several Power2 Boosters - up to a maximum of 63 Power2’s. This is done by connecting the LocoNet connector of the “previous”... -

The following Uhlenbrock devices can be used to control trains by Power2’s in analog mode (of course, throttles from other manufacturers can also be used): DAISY throttle (66 200), FRED throttle (66 000), IB- Control (65 200) and Profi-Control (65 500). -
