It¡¯s plugged in with the PS615 into the front port. The PSX¡¯s are currently factory default at 3.81 amps. Should I change the trip setting to less amps on those? The DCS is factory default as well. I emailed Digitrax, they weren¡¯t very helpful, deferring me to DCC Specialties, although they did say that I could try closing option switch 18 to put in a delay.

?What is the DC supply to the DCS210+? The original PS615 from Digitrax, plugged into the front barrel jack, or another supply wired via the 7-pin connector? Clearly, the PS is shutting down(overcurrent sensing) before the DCS210+, or the PSX, senses the short. What are the delay times set to for both the PSX units and the DCS?
In case you don't have a manual handy,
That manual is woefully quiet on option switches. More info here:
Though the descriptions are about as cryptic as one could want.

Okay, that¡¯s the issue. The volts to my command station dropped to zero when a track was shorted. It¡¯s a Digitrax DCS210. 5amp capacity. How can I fix this issue? I¡¯m new to the hobby. My instruction manual doesn¡¯t mention in CV¡¯s for adjusting current trip.

?Sounds like the main DCC power source is cutting in and out¡ not the PSX breakers. What is it? And what is the ampere capacity? Is there an adjustable trip point?
Put an AC voltmeter on the main DCC source to verify. It should remain ON when a PSX breaker cuts out due to a short downstream.
