Re: DR5033 track voltage


 

Hi James,

I think I have found the problem.? It looks like a dead booster (5033) as there is now zero track voltage from the output.? The green power light on the booster illuminates/flashes when the power supply is connected.? The voltage at the power connection reads 18.6 volts.? The loconet link on Booster T seems to work as the booster switches off when the DR5000 red button is pressed.? However once the booster is switched on and and then off via the DR5000 command station the red short light on the DR5033 also flashes in sync with the green power light, not sure if this is normal but it stops flashing when DR5000 switches power on again to the track (but still no track output from the 5033).? The track output from the DR5000 reads 14.5 volts.? The power districts are double rail isolated and worked fine when I used to have a different manufacturers system connected.

I think I bought this unit from your good self and its less that 2 years old so still under guarantee,?I will check to find the order reference.? I checked the Digikeijs web site and I have opened a "ticket" but I have asked them if I can deal direct with you as you are nearer to me than they are.? Awaiting their response.? ?

Regards,

John

Hello John

Make sure for power supply¡¯s are set on the same voltage.

Hi,??

I have just wired up a DR5033 and using the provided power supply set at 19 volts, the measured voltage at the track output terminals is only 10.4 volts.? Is this what is to be expected oe should I be getting the 14 volts track voltage as provided by the DR5000 ?

Regards,

John
