Page 4: Why Boosters
10% of the calculated sum of power consumption The Booster B-2 can supply 3A. If your overall power demand exceeds the capacity of one booster you have to connect additional boosters according to the special requirements of your layout. - Page 5 Checking the package contents Please make sure that your package contains: § one kit, containing the components listed in the parts and one PCB § one booster B-2, § one manual. Required materials For assembling the kit you need: §...

7 Operation display Data formats and ports The B-2 is a multi protocol booster for your model railroad and capable of amplifying data sent in the Motorola or the DCC format. It can be connected either to the track port of a Motorola or DCC central unit, or to a DCC-conforming booster port of a central unit. -
Page 7: Technical Specifications
The automatic short-circuit switch-off can be cut off by bridging the push-button for switching-on the B-2. When the short-circuit warning wire is connected to the central unit, the booster sends an overload signal to the central unit in case of a short- circuit. -
Page 8: Safety Instructions
English 5. Safety instructions Mechanical hazards Cut wires can have sharp ends and can cause serious injuries. Watch out for sharp edges when you pick up the PCB. Visibly damaged parts can cause unpredictable danger. Do not use damaged parts: recycle and replace them with new ones. Electrical hazards §... - Page 9 English Fire risk Touching flammable material with a hot soldering iron can cause fire, which can result in injury or death through burns or suffocation. Connect your soldering iron or soldering station only when actually needed. Always keep the soldering iron away from inflammable materials.

Page 10: Emc Declaration
English 6. EMC declaration This product is developed and tested in accordance with the European standards EN 55014-1 and EN 61000-6-3 and meets the EC - directive 2004/108/EG and legal requirements. To guarantee the electromagnetic tolerance in operation you must take the following precautions: §... - Page 11 English § Observe correct polarity orientation of semi-conductors, LEDs electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits before soldering and ensure that the solder time does not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise components can be damaged. § Apply the soldering tip to the soldering spot in such a way that the part and the soldering eye are heated at the same time.

Page 12: Assembling The Kit
English 8. Assembling the kit You can skip this part if you have purchased a ready-built device. Preparation Put the sorted components in front of you on your workbench. The separate electronic components have the following special features you should take into account to prevent mistakes in assembling: Resistors Resistors reduce current. - Page 13 English to vary the value of resistance. The value is printed on the housing. Depending on the mounting situation, trim-pots with a lying or a standing housing are used. The mounting orientation is preset by the layout of the three pins. Capacitors Among other things capacitors are used for filtering interference voltages or as frequency determining parts.
- Page 14 English Zener diodes Zener diodes are used for limiting voltages. In contrast to „normal“ diodes they are not damaged when the limit voltage is exceeded. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) When operated in the forward direction the LEDs light. They are available in several different versions (differing in colour, size, form, luminosity, maximum current, voltage limits).
- Page 15 C10 and C11 and the power transistors Q8 and Q9). If you intend to mount the circuit into the housing supposed for the enclosure of the B-2 please follow the instructions in the section "Enclosure of the B-2". Caution:...
- Page 16 English Caution: De-burr the holes: not de-burring can cause injury! It is possible to damage the insulation plates of the transistors if you do not clean up the holes causing a short circuit. Mount the power transistors Q8 and Q9 as follows: First place a semiconductor insulator on the heat sink and then the transistor.
- Page 17 Enclosure of the B-2 There is a housing avalaible for the booster B-2. If you intend to use this housing the electrolytic capacitors C6, C10 and C11 have to be bent by 90 degrees. Bend the connecting wires before soldering in the capacitors, as you otherwise might solder them in too close to the PCB.

Page 18: Splitting Your Model Railway Layout
English 9. Splitting your model railway layout Split your model railway layout in several track sections electrically isolating them from each other. Every section has to be supplied by a booster of its’ own. Make sure that section borders are not crossed that often. The following divisions are useful: §... -
Page 19: Connecting The Booster
English 10. Connecting the booster Connect the booster to the central unit, the tracks, the power supply and the push-button according to the following list. Follow the connections diagram fig. 5. Connection to the Connection to a central Connection to a central unit unit compatible to DCC-central unit... - Page 20 It is possible to connect the booster either to the track port of a Motorola or DCC central unit or to a DCC-conforming booster port of a central unit. Use the DCC-compatible booster port to connect the B-2 to the central unit MasterControl.

Page 21: Operation
This allows you to switch on all electric circuits at once with one push-button. It is also possible to switch all short-circuit indication wires and all mass wires of all boosters B-2 in parallel. 11. Operation Operation display The LED shows that the booster is in operation. - Page 22 English When everything is connected, connect the transformer and the central unit to the power supply. The LED on the booster will light up faintly, indicating that the booster is ready. Put an engine on the track and choose its address on the central unit. Push the “GO”...

Page 23: Check List For Troubleshooting
English 12. Check list for troubleshooting § Parts are getting too hot and/or start to smoke. Disconnect the system from the mains immediately! Possible cause: one or more components are soldered incorrectly. à Perform a visual check. Possible cause: The connections to the track and the power supply have been mixed up. -
Page 24: Manufacturer's Note, Ce And Warranty
English Possible cause: There is a capacitor mounted into a track. à Dismount the capacitor. § The short circuit indication does not work properly. Possible cause: The jumper for setting the data format has been inserted incorrectly. à Adjust the jumper settings. Hotline If problems with your booster occur, our hotline is pleased to help you. - Page 25 English Other claims are excluded.
