6.4. Reset

Restart
You can trigger a restart of the booster with the STOP-GO button (→ section 6.1.2 "Display
and RGB LEDs"). Keep the STOP-GO button pressed until the blue flashing of the RGB LEDs
changes to a violet rise and fall and "rE" is shown in the display. After the reset, the B-6
automatically switches back to standard operation.
Reset with resetting the default values
To reset all CV settings to the factory settings (default values), you must perform a reset with
the main track programming (POM) (→ section 5.2, input value for CV 7: 7).

6.5. Driving operation

Make sure that locomotives or trains do not bridge separating points between two booster
circuits for a longer period of time. This will connect the outputs of the two associated
boosters and the boosters may be damaged. A short-circuit message is usually not given in
this situation.

6.6. Operation with BiDiB

If you use the B-6 booster together with a digital control unit with integrated BiDiB interface or
a special BiDiB interface, you can use the corresponding PC control software to

set the configuration variables of the B-6

control and monitor the B-6

perform a software update on the B-6
BiDiB-Identify
By pressing and holding the button on the B-6, you identify the booster to the PC control
software ("BiDiB-Identify").
→ Section 6.1.1 "Functions of the STOP-GO button".
Installing the B-6 at the end of the BiDi bus line
For the BiDiB device installed at the end of the BiDi bus line (i.e. from which only an RJ 45
cable runs), a terminating resistor must be set. Otherwise, interference in the data
transmission may occur due to the deformation of the electrical signal.
If you have subsequently connected further devices to the BiDi bus line, the terminating
resistor must be removed from the device that was previously installed last in the bus line.
Otherwise, data transmission may break down.
There is no risk that devices connected to the bus line will be damaged by a missing or
incorrectly set terminating resistor.
If possible, the B-6 booster should not be installed at the end of a BiDi bus line in a BiDiB-
controlled system, as setting a terminating resistor for the B-6 is comparatively complex
compared to other BiDiB devices (stationary decoders, feedback devices). If it is not possible
to avoid installing the B-6 at the end of the bus line and problems with data transmission
occur during operation, please contact our Technical Hotline.
