Central - Smart, Intelligent and the easiest control panel ever!
If we were to reduce the manual to its basics, it would read "open box, connect and operate"... it really can be that easy to
have a sophisticated control panel if Cobalt
power booster and ANY modeller, DC or DCC can have an active digital accessory power bus up and running in no time at all.
Each Cobalt Central controls 12 sets of switches and they can be combined and linked to give you control of more than
2000 digitally controlled points (Turnouts) or other DCC-compatible digital accessories. The possibilities are endless in fact!
Used with "train-set level" starter sets to add accessory control or with full DCC systems to add a control panel, Cobalt
Central & Cobalt Box bring sophisticated accessory control to all - with only 1 cable needed to connect the entirel panel!
Cobalt Box - Pack contents:
• 1x Cobalt Central
• 1x 6-wire 6' ~ 1.75m RJ12 to RJ12 curly cord
• 1x "Alpha Link" cable for joining multiple Cobalt
• 1x Instruction Manual
Cobalt Central - You may also need the following items:
• Most DCC brands and DC modellers: Cobalt Cobalt
• NCE PowerCab users can simply connect Cobalt
to 5 amps. NCE Power Pro users can just connect it to their system to add a 5 amp Accessory bus.
