Power Supply From The Digital System; External Power Supply - Esu SignalPilot 51840 Instruction Manual

Connection to the digital system

5.2. Power supply from the digital system

For smaller layouts with a only a few loads connected at the same
time, the SignalPilot can be supplied directly from the command
station. The terminals Pw A and Pw B are connected parallel to the
terminals Trk A and Trk B.
This type of wiring must be used if you want to configure the
SignalPilot on the programming track of your command station.
For more information, see chapter 9.

5.3. External power supply

For larger layouts with many electric loads, we recommend the use
of an external power supply. DC and AC power supplies are sui-
table with the specifications specified in chapter 4.2. We recom-
mend the use of a stabilized DC power supply with at least 18V
DC and at least 3A output power (e.g.: ESU part number 50119).
This type of connection cannot be used for programming on the
programming track. In this case, a connection must be established
(temporarily) as shown in chapter 5.2.
