How To Connect It; Booster Use - Uhlenbrock Elektronik DAISY User Manual

1.5 How to connect it

1.5.1 Rails
The rails are to be connected to the screw connectors labeled "Gleis
(rot)" (German for: "rail (red)") and "Gleis (braun)" ("rail (brown)").
TIP If more than one booster is going to be used, then care must be taken
to make sure that the system ground (brown) is always connected to
the same rail.
In the case of 3-rail layouts, the "Gleis (braun)" cable must be
connected to the (outer) rails and the "Gleis (rot)" cable must be
connected to the center rail (studs).
1.5.2 Transformer
The transformer should be connected to the screw connectors labeled
"16V~(braun)" (braun = brown) and "16V~(gelb)" (gelb = yellow).
The output voltage can be adjusted in range 15V through 20V by using
the small trimmer (potentiometer) labeled: "Ausgangsspannung"
(Output Voltage). The output voltage is about 15V when the trimmer is
rotated fully clockwise. It is about 20V when the trimmer is rotated fully
counterclockwise.
Important All Power2's must be powered up at the same time, or else the auto-
numbering procedure of the Power2's (for analog mode) cannot be
correctly executed. This can be achieved, e.g., by using a "power strip"
to connect all transformers to the mains power supply (110V, 220V or
whatever applies at your location).

2. Booster use

If a Power2 is to operate as digital booster, then it must be connected
to the Command Station either through LocoNet, using the "DAISY"
Power2 connector, or through a 5-pole Booster cable, using the
"Booster" connector.
