our club just got a new dcs 200 system and are attempting to use power manigers and they don't seem to be working. any sugestions? we are also having problems...

To all, In the pin-out diagram, I jumpered pin 14 to pin 15...this effectively is the same thing as pushing the power button on the front of a PC to turn the ...
I have been impressed with the Lenz Gold with the uninterruptible power supply and have used it on a small industrial loco to good effect. Does anyone know if...
All decoders rectify the DCC track signal to get their internal operating voltages. A capacitor at this point would provide an "electrical flywheel" effect to...
When you say power managers I assume you mean a circuit breaker like the PM 42? When you say programming I assume you mean on the programming track? You'll...
Doug thanks for putting me straight, appreciated. Will try another Lenz Gold/USP for the other industrial loco. Regards Nic Doug Stuard <dstuard@...>...
What type of power managers? (I would assume PM-42s). What specific problems are you experiencing? The PM42 is pretty straightforward, but it does require an...
Doug & All: I think the capacitor would have to be inserted just after the bridge rectifier, before the power went to the decoder electronics. This would ...
... snip ... Have a look at: http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/mainnorth/alive.htm Some interesting results of actual efforts directed toward your issue, Rex...
Wait! Don't throw it out yet. The fan not going on as originally wired means the power supply is not turnign on. I saw no mention of this in the thread, but if...
Hi Nic, The Digitrax Combo sound decoder comes with a capacitor which clips onto the Kato AC4400CW frame. All the best, Kristian. ... From: "Nic Monks"...
All voltage readings are with no load: Forward light (white/blue) On - 5.71 Off - 9.90 Rear light (yellow/blue) On - 13.73 Off - < 0.5 Surprisingly, the...
But is this one for power drops or is it for speaker bias. Ed is correct; for power interuptions, it would need to be connected right after the bridge...
Yep. It looks like the headlight function is fried. You can remap the yellow lead to the headlight function by setting CV33 to 2 (also, set CV34 to 1 or 0, to...
To all who offered help, I have decided to build one. I already gutted the ATX and will use the case and switch. I have most of the parts available from former...

Tim's message seems to confirm my suspicion that the DZ123 is a failure-prone decoder. There was no way an intermittent condition could have caused the...
efc1945?????, My solution was to cut a 1/4" dowell approximately 3/8" long and place it one seat section toward the center of the car, next to the decoder....
Don't forget to connect a wire from terminals B and/or X on the PM42 to the booster's ground terminal. Also check to make sure the PM42 is inserted the right...
Setting CV33 to 2 makes the yellow lead behave exactly like the headlight. I don't have my decoder cheat sheet handy, but there are other options for mapping...
I am looking for good photos of DCC set ups. The panels used, the way the wiring is run, ideas for holding the system components, etc. I know there are a few...
The MSU power supply WAS "a completed 145 watt ATX power supply with switch, binding posts, labels and feet." The problem is probably there was not a load...
Gareth, The flashing EXP indicator means you are in the "aliasing" mode. I turn off the Aliasing feature in the DCS 100 and this will not happen. The...
Lets not forget guys and gals, that the PM-42 MUST be connected by common (ground) to the common (ground) on the DCS 200. Page 4 of the PM-42 manual, step 3 =...
Group: Switching power supplies such as those use in the AT and ATX computers use voltages internally that are DANGEROUS! Please. please don't ever poke around...
Has anyone heard anything about the availability of the new sound decoders for retrofitting to existing equipment? I really would like to get one to try in a...
