To get around this limita- tion, the BDL16 uses option switch 10 to set up detection section 16 to be used Direct Home Booster (Digitrax standard) as a zone power detector for detection sections 1 through 15. Wire a 10K resis- tor from detection section 16 (not connected to tracks) to the detection common return for the whole BDL16. - Page 4 *These AC1/AC2 power connections should be made to supply only used by For 6A current rating with 3A connector pins, track/zone wires must be BDL16(s). connected to both pin pairs: e.g., Zone A = pins 1 & A. **The Ground connection must be made to booster for correct BDL16 opera- tion.
