PLEASE NOTE: In some cases, the images used in this manual are of prototype or pre-production units and may vary slightly in appearance
from those actually on sale. However in all cases all of the connections and diagrams are identical and the information given is correct.
If you own a basic DCC system that came in the box with a “Train-Set” or perhaps purchased a
basic low cost system to try out DCC operation - such as the easy-to-use but basic Bachmann
EZ Command, Hornby Select or E-Link or Roco MAUS etc...
OR if you purchased a “White box” start-set Z21or a Gaugemaster Prodigy Express but now
want Accessory control...
OR if you just want more power from your DCC system and perhaps like the idea of a separated
Cobalt D Alpha - based Accessory power bus - then you really DO need Cobalt D Box!
This diagram shows how easy it is to add Alpha D Box to ANY DCC SYSTEM AT ALL. Brand-by-Brand diagrammes follow
The easiest possible “Power & Performance” upgrade for every DCC system!
Using the “Track power out” wires, connect ANY DCC SYSTEM BRAND to the Alpha D Box “DCC track power inputs”
ANY track power
output level is OK
Power Alpha
D Box
with the 5 amp
Alpha
D Power or
any regulated DC
supply, 15~18v @5A
Connect the “Track
power output” from
Alpha
D Box to your
track bus & that’s it!
The upgrade is done!
