TAMS Elektronik 40-19437-01 Booster B-4 mit Display Booster link DCC, mfx, MM

Overview

Convenient booster with 2 to 5 A output current
With display for showing the current power consumption
Nominal sizes Z to II.
Systems with symmetrical track voltage
Suitable for use with ABC braking distance
Data formats: DCC, MM, mfx (control commands only, no mfx feedback)
RailCom feedback format (RailCom-Cutout can be switched off)

Description

DCC-conforming booster interface (3-pin / "CDE") for connection to the DCC-conforming booster interface of a central unit or the track output of a central unit. Regulated Multi-protocol booster for use with MM, DCC or Central-mfx. For systems with feedback about Railcom and with symmetrical track voltage. Adjustable short conclusion sensitivity and rail voltage (10-20 V in 1 V steps). The RailCom Cutout of the boosters can be switched on/off. Internal short-circuit can also be switched off. Max. Track voltage 18 V; 5 A (controlled), setting to 12 to 24 V (regulated) is possible. 12 -18 V supply voltage (depending) on the set track voltage.

Electrical properties:
Power supply: AC transformer (12–20 V) or DC power supply (12–26 V)
Maximum output current: 2.0 to 5.0 A, adjustable in 1 A steps
Output voltage 10 to 24 volts Digital voltage (regulated), adjustable in 1 V steps
Output signal: Symmetric

LED on the front of the booster to indicate the operating states or problems that have occurred:
Ready status
Short-circuit at the track output
Booster via a switch command switched off
Booster switched off after triggering of the watchdog
Booster switched off after exceeding the maximum permissible temperature
Missing signal from the central unit
Start programming

Display:
During operation: Current power consumption in the booster circuit [A]
After a short circuit: The remaining seconds until the power is switched back on
During programming: Display of set CV values

Safety devices:
Short-circuit shutdown: Internal short-circuit shutdown or short-circuit feedback to the digital control unit via CDE booster interface; automatic restart after a short-circuit; short-circuit warning to the PC control
Switches off when overheating
Watchdog function in PC-controlled systems

Configuration via main track programming (POM) or (with small restrictions) by setting short-circuit plugs (jumpers):
Track voltage 10 – 24 V, adjustable in 1 V steps
Restart according to a short circuit: 4 – 10 sec., can be set in 1 sec. steps
Max. Track current (switch-off current in case of short circuit): 2 – 5 A, adjustable in 1 A-steps
RailCom: Active or inactive
Switch-off with DCC switch-over command: Active or inactive
Watchdog: Active or inactive
Limit value for short circuit warning: 0.2 - 1 A, adjustable in 0.2 A steps
Restart time after 5 short circuits: 0 – 100 sec.
