The JUMP 1 power pack will continue to control speed and direction of the

25.3 adding another DCS51 to your layout

Since each system, no matter how large, needs only one command station, you
need only one DCS51 (or other Digitrax Command Station) performing this
function. Any additional DCS51 must be converted to a booster by changing
the Option Switch settings as described below. (Note, when using the DCS51
as a booster, the programming outputs are disabled.) The command station
determines the total number of locomotive addresses your system can handle:
Zephyr Xtra handles up to 20. Adding a booster does not change the number of
addresses available to the command station, but you do gain additional power
to run trains. When you add a DCS51 to an existing system you gain additional
power (3.0A) for controlling power districts or reversing sections AND you
gain an additional three throttles to control trains: the local throttle and the two
jump port throttles.
To set up a DCS51 to run as a booster and throttle without command sta-
tion capabilities:
1. Press the
