THE COMMAND STATION
COMMAND STATION CONNECTIONS AND INDICATORS
PROGRAMMING
TRACK TERMINALS
The two connecting wires to your
programming track should be
connected here. We recommend
using the last couple feet of a
convenient spur track near the front
of the layout. Both rails must be
gapped (insulated joiners) at the
break between the programming
section and the main trackage.
CAB BUS - 6 WIRE RJ-12 SOCKET
You may plug a cab directly into the cab bus jack or a cab bus cable may be used to
connect to additional UTP connector panels around the layout. For small layouts and for
checking-out the system before final wiring, the Cabs can be directly connected to the
Command Station. For larger layouts this jack provides the ability to connect a longer/
larger bus.
CONTROL BUS - 4 WIRE RJ-H SOCKET
Connect the 4 pin cable from this socket to the first Power Station. This is the low level
DCC signal that will be amplified by the power booster(s).
COMPUTER INTERFACE PORT
This connector allows those hobbyists who wish to have access to their layout via a
personal computer to do so. See the section on RS232 SERIAL COMPUTER
INTERFACE.
TRACK LIGHT
Indicator light glows yellow to show normal system operation. A red or green glow
indicates a problem with the Command Station.
STATUS LIGHT- This light is always off.
