- DB150 Command Station /Booster:
- Full LocoNet Capabilities. DB150 gives you the ultimate in expandability!
   Up to 22 throttles in command station mode.
    Use with any LocoNet throttle (DT400 series, DT300 series, DT100 series, DT200, UT2, UT1, BT2, Computer throttle, LocoPalm Throttle and new Digitrax and LocoNet Certified throttles to come soon)
- Built in broadcast write only programmer. Genesis uses Paged Programming method
  exclusively.
- Built in 5 Amp Digital Command Control Booster Rated at 80VA.
- Many command station options are user customizable.
- Accepts either 50/60Hz AC or DC input from your existing power supply.
  Minimum input voltage: 12V AC or DC, Maximum input voltage: 22V AC or 28V DC.
  The power supply you use should be within this range and should be overload protected
  for a maximum output of 4.5 amps DC.
- Auto resetting over temperature & short circuit protection.
- Digitrax Boosters are safe for use with all scales because they are multi scale selectable
  for N through G scale operations. N Scale=12V, HO Scale=15V, O/G Scale=20V.
- Track Status indicator shows voltage and signal type (DCC or "Zero Stretch"
  Analog Signal for conventional operation.)
- Stabilized Track Drive Output. Over Voltage Protected.
- LocoNet Expansion Network for easy reliable system hook up and future system
  expansion. All connections are made with 6 conductor telco jacks & wire. The LocoNet
  wiring scheme gives you a very reliable system for sending your commands to the
  track and controlling your trains. For future expansion, LocoNet offers you full access to
  advanced features such as track level feedback for train detection, signaling & automated
  operation without the need to run a separate bus. LocoNet is more than just wiring,
  it is a fully integrated train control system.
- Sync output configures DB150 Operating Mode & connects the DB150 to expansion
  boosters
- High impedance balanced or unbalanced signal input receivers on the LocoNet Interface
  allow boosting of several different types of command control signals.
- Auto shutdown if command control drive signal is lost so that the layout will not convert
  to DC operation if a cable or connection is broken. The trains won't just
  "take-off" if they are not getting the DCC signal.
- Complies with FCC Part 15, Class B RFI Requirements.
- DCC Compatible.

- The DB150 has 3 user selectable operating modes for maximum flexibility &
  system expansion

- 5 Amp Precision Digital Command Control Booster Rated At 80 Watts. This booster gives
  you plenty of power to run several trains at a time. Even though blocking is not required
  for train control, you may find that you wish to section your layout because you want
  to run more locomotives than one power pack can handle or to keep the layout
  from shutting down when there is a short in any given power section. The
  DB150 also works as a powerful booster for other DCC compatible command stations, too.
  Intelligent Auto Reversing Booster. "Look Ma, no hands!!!" This option is selectable
  when you are operating one DB150 or DCS100 as the main system booster and
  an additional DB150 (or other DB100 series booster) as the Auto Reverser.
  With this configuration, you can totally automate one or more reverse loops.
  The train crosses the gap, if the DB150 senses a short, it automatically matches
  the track polarities and the train keeps going. Note: You can handle reverse loops
  conventionally if you do not wish to add an extra booster to your system, the auto reverse
  feature was added to the DB150 primarily as an "extra goodie." You can also use
  PM42 Quad Power Manager to automate reversing sections if you don’t need the
  additional power provided by a booster.
  DCC Command Station for Genesis II or Empire Builder II Set. The DB150 when used
  with a UT2 throttle performs as the Genesis II Set command station and gives you
  a truly cost effective, entry level DCC system. You can enjoy DCC without spending
  a lot of money & you can add on advanced equipment at your own pace to customize
  a system that's right for YOU! The DB150 when used with a DT300 or DT300R performs
  as the Empire Builder II Set command station.
