Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Robert, I verified with our wiring guru. What we have done is max out the current setting on the PSX prior to the juicers. That corrected any issues. We did not go the route of the timing as the above

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Well both the Tam Valley website and Tony¡¯s Trains (DCC Specialties) indicate that the new PSX¡¯s are much faster than the juicers. Tony¡¯s Trains actually recommends not using them at all with

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Robert, Our club uses many, I mean May PSX ARs and frog juicers in our 5000 sq ft layout. They will place nice together. David Klemm Sent from my iPhone 12 PRO ________________________________ Sent:

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Ahh.? That does help point at the problem.? This is not unusual - it would be nice if the industry had standardized on a three or four step response time for these various levels of detection.? As

Re: Twisted bus
Regarding ballast interfering with detection; is there a ballasting technique that minimizes or prevents the issue?

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Thank you. Maybe the issue is that I slowed down the PSX¡¯s so that they would play nice with the frog juicers because the juicers are slower than the PSX¡¯s. So I might have to scrap the juicers

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Correct. Power to first PSX, then on same side of PSX, I daisy chain to the next PSX input. I think I didn¡¯t go directly from strip to both PSX¡¯s because I was following the PSX diagram, but I

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Okay, you're on the right track, but I think you've misinterpreted.? If the lights on the DCS don't go out when you short the track, you've not lost your DC input, the DCS is trying to protect itself

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Robert, To just clarify what you mean by daisy chain. You have the power from the barrier strip in to the first PSX. Then on that same side of the PSX you run a wire to the next PSX? You are not

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Thank you for your help! So this is a brand new starter set, so it is the 210+. My wiring is as follows: Track A from DCS to one terminal strip. Track B from DCS to different terminal strip. Then, off

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Sorry for the cross mailing. Verify all of these points again: DCS output is wired to the two PSX units, and nothing else. (i.e. no other track segment, etc.) One PSX is wired to one portion of the

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
Whoops, I see you said DCS210, not DCS210+.? The DCS210 manual is much better wrt op switches.? Manual:

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
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

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
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

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
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

Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
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
By Don Vollrath · #12889 ·
Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
That¡¯s how I have it wired. Is it possible that the shorted psx is momentarily cutting power to my booster as it tries to reset thereby causing the loco on the other one to intermittently stop and
By Robert Wilson · #12888 ·
Re: PSX Circuit Breaker Issue
If you take two power wires from dcs to one psx and jumper it to the other psx via the terminal board on one end of the psxs and then send two wires from each psx (terminal board on other end) to each
