Thank you for this, Allan.? I currently have four PM42 units installed.? My next expansion would have added two, possibly four depending on how power hungry staging gets, but I have been considering moving to PSX breakers, as the old relay-based breakers don't 'play nice' with sound units.? Right now, the jury is out, until I get annoyed enough; I may upgrade the PSX units slowly, as all of my PM42 installs are constructed such that I can swap in two dual PSX breakers, stacked one over the other, without much problem.? Should I make the jump to all PSX, I'll be remembering this feature when setting things up.

Thanks again

PSX users with Digitrax equipment:

I wish I had remembered this sooner.? When I set up my PSX's, I had problems.? After checking everything I could, I contacted DCC Specialties.? It turns out when I was setting up the PSX's, my Digitrax equipment (DCS 210) was sending some accessory addresses which were messing up the PSX settings.? The solution, while the PSX programming jumper is in place, is to disconnect the PSX from the track bus whenever powering up the DCS 210.? Wait about 30 seconds after powering up the DCS 210 and wait for it to finish sending its start up messages.? Then connect the PSX to the track bus and complete your programming.? When you aren't programming the PSX, of course, you just leave the PSX attached to the track bus.? This solved my problem.

Note:? I am using lots of Frog Juicers.? While my layout is still under construction and I haven't run it much, I haven't had issues with them and the PSX's.? Whenever I wire, I frequently check to make sure the electronic circuit breakers are working the way they should.? They did.
