The PSXX-AR series is a product of years of research into problems dealing with false overloads
that cause premature shut down of DCC Boosters and other Circuit Breakers. These false overloads
are caused by large capacitors used in sound systems, decoders, and lighted passenger cars. The
overload appears as a short circuit until the capacitors are charged. The logic on the PSXX-AR
Series determines if the load is a true short or just an overload due to a discharged capacitor. A
PSXX-AR also has the logic & power to control switch machines at the throat of a reversing loop.
Versions: PSXX-AR [Tortoise] & PSXX-ARSC [Kato, Peco, Atlas Snap Coils]
PSXX-AR & PSXX-ARSC are functionally identical EXCEPT the turnout motor type control
Compatible with PSXX, Frog-AR and earlier PSX & PSX-AR units
•
Automatic Coordination of Auto Reverse and Circuit Breaker Tasks:
auto reverser and circuit breaker.
•
Automates Reverse Loop Turnouts:
automatically lines up switch machines when the polarity is reversed. Switch machine can
also be controlled with standard DCC Accessory Commands and push buttons.
•
Track Output Terminal J11
•
Block Detection:
block and to trigger a Block Occupied output. The current trigger level is programmable.
•
Auto Stop with DCC Reset:
the photocell will not cause any action. If the photocell is armed with a DCC command, the
PSXX-AR will turn off the next time the photocell is covered. A DCC command can restore the
track power when desired.
•
All Solid-State Operation:
•
Adaptive Load Reset:
capacitance in sound decoders or lighted passenger cars.
•
Over Voltage Protection:
voltage spikes on your layout.
