3.5. Boosters

Integrated booster
A booster is integrated in the mc², which can provide a maximum of 6.5 A current. This
current is usually sufficient for the operation of layouts of all nominal sizes. Depending on the
nominal size, the maximum output current must be limited.

Short-circuit sensitivity: 1 - 6.5 A. It can be adapted to the nominal size of the installation in
steps of 0.5 A.

Track voltage: 8 - 22 V. It can be adjusted in steps of 1 V.

Track signal: symmetrical

RailCom cutout: can be switched off.
The status messages of the integrated booster are reported to the control software via BiDiB.
They are then available as a basis for booster management.
External boosters
If one booster circuit is not sufficient for the operation of the layout, or if the signals for
vehicle and accessory decoders are to be output separately, additional external boosters can
be connected. Both Märklin-compatible boosters and DCC-compliant boosters can be used.
The use of different booster types for separate parts of the layout or separately for the tasks
"driving" and "switching" is basically possible.
BiDiB boosters
Boosters according to the BiDiB specification can be connected directly to the BiDiB interface.
Loconet boosters
Boosters for use in LocoNet cannot be connected to the LocoNet interface of the mc², as this
is designed as a LocoNet T(ool) interface - and not as a Loconet B(ooster) interface. No
booster signals are transmitted at the LocoNet interface of the mc². LocoNet boosters must
therefore be connected to one of the two interfaces for external boosters.
