Re: VOLTAGE FOR MARKLIN Z


 

Does the YD6016 need 14V? The above is for the YD7001. Wouldn't anything dropping voltage after the block detector trip the block detector? If the YD6016 doesn't work at lower voltages, how about a CT coil detector like from RR-Cirkits with one UP6z for the layout?

The UP6Z wont help in this situation because the reduction in voltage needs to be after the YD6016xx and it needs at least 14v to operate.

You would end up needing a UP6Z on every output from the YD6016xx ?

Mario,

Digitrax offers the UP6Z 3 Amp Z Scale Voltage Reducer - "Reduces track voltage by 4 or 6 volts at 3 amps for safer Z Scale locomotive operation . . ."? This device meets your needs.
