This ensures your control system can grow with your layout and you don’t need to worry as your model railway becomes larger. The Gaugemaster Infinity Consort Expansion Units are a simple way to extend the operational remit. Each unit gives you two benefits. Firstly, they give you the ability to connect two additional Digital Remote Handsets to your Infinity environment, and secondly, they offer the ability to add a second power district to your layout. When you first connect up your Gaugemaster Infinity you will be creating one power district. Essentially one connection of power to one area. When expanding your system with an Infinity Consort unit, it adds another power district to your layout rather than just upping the power. This new district is simply a section of your layout isolated from the other. This could be a new area, or half of your existing layout. The Consort is then connected to this section, giving you another area of power to draw from, without any disruption to layout operation. Front View - System Status LED GREEN = Connected to a handset and working. GREEN (FLASHING) = Powered up but not connected to a Main Unit. RED = Stop button or Stop key has been pressed. - Centre Button, used for pairing (held down) or as an Emergency Stop - press once to activate and again to release.

- Page 4 ∞ Expansion Unit Overload Protection In the event the main track is overloaded on either unit, the light on the affected Base Unit will flash RED. Find the source of the problem and rectify immediately, once this is done the system will continue where it left off. Connecting Your Consort Expansion Unit Connecting your Consort expansion units couldn’t be easier! Simply plug the power supply into your new Consort Expansion unit (remembering to turn the power on at the wall!), and then, on your Sovereign Base Unit, connect one end of the Expansion Cable into the “OUT” port and the other end into the “IN” port of your Infinity Consort Expansion Base Unit. Main Unit Expansion Unit All the lights on the Base Units will now show a steady green and pressing the centre button on either of the Base Units will stop all activity on all the Base Units (represented by a constant red light and your handset displaying a message accordingly). You can now connect the “Main Track” output to the new area it will be powering. PRO TIP - When connecting new sections - make sure the new section is isolated from the original section with rail breaks or isolating rail joiners on both rails. Locations are marked in purple below. Main Unit Expansion Unit This is a very basic example of how you can create a layout with two power districts. You can also add up to four Consort units in succession to add additional power districts as required.

IMPORTANT! When connecting your new expansion Base Unit, you MUST isolate the relevant track sections from each other AND ensure that the polarity from one section to the next remains the same. Please Note: The sniffer port and programming track will only operate from the main Base Unit and the Amp reading on the handset is fixed to the main unit but additional units’ amp consumption can be seen in the “About” section. Warning: Do not attempt to common return between Base Units ∞ TROUBLESHOOTING There is a regularly updated FAQs page on our website which can be found at: www.gaugemaster.info/InfinityFAQ Your dealer will also be a font of knowledge and we are working hard to build their knowledge as the system establishes itself so they will also be able to help.
