17.0 Adding Throttles: LocoNet & Jump Ports
Sooner or later you will probably want to have one or more other people run
trains with you. This means you'll have to add more throttles to your DCS52.
You can add any LocoNet throttle to your DCS52 or you can use one or two
smooth DC power packs as jump throttles.

17.1 Adding LocoNet Throttles To Your DCS52

Any LocoNet throttle can be used with your DCS52. Simply plug the LocoNet
throttle into either LocoNet port on the back of your DCS52 or into any
LocoNet or Throttle Jack anywhere on your LocoNet system. If you want to
be able to plug in a throttle at a remote location, we recommend using a UP5
Universal Panel.
Your DCS52 can handle up to 20 LocoNet Throttles. If you need to run more
than 20 throttles, you can move up to a Digitrax Command Station with addi-
tional capacity. You can continue to use your DCS52 as a throttle and booster
with any command station on your Digitrax LocoNet system.
