4. Connections

4.1. Connection to the power supply

Note:
!
Only use the supplied power supply unit as power supply for your B-6 and the components
of your layout that are supplied by the B-6.
Note:
!
Some versions of the power supply unit have a locking device on the unit plug that prevents
the power supply unit connection cable from being pulled out accidentally. To be able to pull
out the cable, you must pull the catch in the direction of the cable. Never pull the cable out
of the socket by force! Doing so may damage connections in your booster.
Then plug the supplied (black) mains cable into the connection socket of the power supply unit
and into the mains socket.

4.2. Connecting to the track

Connect the track output of the booster

with the two rails (for 2-conductor layouts) or

with one rail and the centre conductor (with centre-conductor layouts).
Feeding the booster current into the track should be done at a distance of approx. 2 to 3 m
from a ring line, as the resistances at the transitions of the track sections are quite high. If the
distances are chosen too large, there may be problems with the short-circuit feedback or with
the power supply to the vehicles.
Insert the 4-pin appliance plug of the
power supply connection cable into the
"Power" socket on the rear of the B-6,
with the flat part of the plug pointing
upwards.
Use the supplied 2-pin plug section to
connect the cables leading to the track.
Insert the connecting cables into the plug
part, screw them tight and then plug the
plug part onto the socket on the back of
the booster with
upwards.
