Connecting the tracks
Connect the booster´s track port to both rails (with 2-rail systems) or to
one rail and the middle conductor (with 3-rail systems). These
connections should be repeated every 2-3 meters, because the
resistance at the connection points of the tracks is quite high. When
choosing too high intervals, problems with the short circuit indication or
the power supply of the vehicles may occur.
Please note:
!
The connection order of the rails (or the rail and the middle conductor)
to the two poles of the track port is not significant, if you haven't
already connected a booster to your layout. If you have then please
note:
The left pole of the second booster´s track port has to be connected
to the same rail (or the the middle conductor) as the left pole of the
booster already connected. The same goes of course for the right pole
of the boosters´track ports. In case the connections are mixed up
short circuits will occur when vehicles cross the boundries of the track
sections.
Connecting the power supply
Connect the transformer to the booster´s transformer port. The
required voltage and the minimum power of the booster depend on the
desired track voltage. See section "required materials" on page 4.
Please note:
!
You must not interchange the connections to the tracks and to the
transformer.
