Booster B-6

2.2. Displays and operation

Display (7-segment display)
The 2-digit 7-segment display shows you essential information, e.g.

the current power consumption in the booster circuit

the operating status (e.g. normal operation, stop, short circuit, overheating)

during programming: the set values
RGB LEDs in the housing
The top of the B-6 is made of translucent plastic. During operation, RGB LEDs built into the
housing clearly indicate the operating status of the B-6, e.g.

"normal operation" (green) or "stop, track power is switched off" (red)

change to programming mode, send BiDiB Identify signal

short circuit, overtemperature
STOP-GO button
The button can be used to manually switch the track voltage on or off at the output of the B-6
independently of the connected digital control unit. The button is also used to

trigger a restart

identify the B-6 via BiDiB with the PC control software (BiDiB-Identify)
Switching on and off with a DCC turnout command
The track voltage at the output of the B-6 can alternatively be switched on and off via DCC
turnout setting commands sent to a turnout address assigned to it.
Autostart function
Activating or deactivating the autostart function determines whether the track voltage at the
booster output is automatically switched on as soon as the track signal is present (the control
unit is set to "GO") or not.
Even if the autostart function is activated, the track voltage at the booster output is not
switched on automatically if it was previously switched off with the STOP-GO button or the
booster was switched off due to overheating or by triggering the watchdog.
If the autostart function is inactive, the track voltage must always be switched on (again) by
pressing the STOP-GO button.
