Purpose of Use and Function
A model railway system has a large number of power consumers that are connected to the digital voltage,
examples being locomotives, points, signals, lighting, etc. All of these components need to be supplied
with energy. The performance of the central control track output no longer suffices so that boosters have
to be used. These supply max. 3 A to new track and control sections. If the RailCom
(activated as standard), with DCC packets, the booster generates a so-called RailCom
bles RailCom
local detectors or RailCom
®
detector to be used.
The Z21
-Boosters was especially designed for use with the Z21
®
with older ROCO control centres and boosters. It is possible however that this necessitates a deactivation
of the RailCom
in the Z21
