DCC02
PRODIGY ADVANCE2 PACKAGE
PRODIGY
ADVANCE2consists of three
elements. The POWER PACK transforms the power
from your mains socket ready for the Base Unit. The BASE UNIT is the brains behind
the operation. It contains all the technology you need to send
DCC commands to your trains and accessories. However, short of
turning the power on and off, you'll find your closest companion is the Walkaround controller which plugs straight into the
Base Unit. The WALKAROUND is a hand-held controller that you use
to send your commands to the Base Unit, which then sends them on to the
relevant decoder on your layout. You control the speed and
direction of your trains from here. One of the key features of
DCC operation is that each of your locomotives has a numeric address which
you select as and when you want to run that locomotive. DCC
allows you to run it anywhere on your railway at the same time as other
trains are moving as well. You can
operate points (individually or route set) and signals from the Walkaround. You can use it to programme your decoders to replicate the running
characteristics of your locomotives, or even introduce a speed clock that
allows you to run a 24 hour timetable within one operating
session. The possibilities are almost endless with DCC and with
locomotives becoming available with factory-fitted decoders as standard, we are entering an exciting new
era. Of course, you can also retro-fit your older locomotives
with decoders if you wish.
Input:
15-16v DC at 3.5 amps
Output:
DCC Signal with 14.5v at maximum
3.5 amps for OO/HO and N Scales
The Walkaround
controller is used in conjunction with the DCC02 Package for controlling PRODIGY ADVANCE2
layouts. Additional Walkarounds are
often bought so more than one operator can use a layout at the same time,
or to increase operational flexibility by having another controller located
at a remote part of a layout. The Walkaround
measures approximately 195 x 80 x 35mm.
The Extension Plate allows Walkaround controllers to be plugged in at different
locations around your layout, not restricting you to the sockets on the
front of the Base Unit. This also allows the use of further Walkaround controllers on your layout and increases
operational flexibility as well as making it much easier for more than one
user to operate your layout. Every Extension Plate used enables
a further 2 Walkarounds to be connected.
Key features of this standard
Decoder include smooth operation, three speed step settings, plug and play,
transponder id-equipped, all mode programming, decoder reset CV, motor
isolation protection, advanced & universal consisting, 2 and 4 digit
addressing, DCC compatible and NMRA compliant. This decoder is
rated at 1.5 amp (2 amp peak) with 2 functions at
0.5 amps, and measures 16.76 x 30.4 x 6.35mm.
Key features of this small Decoder include
smooth operation, three speed step settings, plug and play, transponder
id-equipped, all mode programming, decoder reset CV, motor isolation
protection, advanced & universal consisting, 2 and 4 digit addressing,
DCC compatible and NMRA compliant. This decoder is rated at 1
amp (2 amp peak) with 2 functions at 0.5 amps, and measures 9.14 x 13.97 x
3.3mm.
This 3 amp stationary decoder is
NMRA compliant and has four outputs, best thought of as 4 decoders in 1,
each with its own sub-address. This decoder is used for the
operation of points and accessories with PRODIGY ADVANCE2 and can operate points individually
or as part of a route-setting process. The Accessory Decoder
measures 55 x 45 x 20mm.
This useful module allows you to
operate a reverse loop without needing to change the polarity of the track,
a common situation that faces modellers with
conventional analogue control model railways. Measures 45 x 25 x
25mm.
If your DCC layout needs more power
then the easiest and safest way of providing this is by dividing the layout
into sections - or "Power Districts" - each fed by a
Booster. Areas of your layout you choose as separate Power
Districts might be your loco shed, a station and sidings, a goods depot, or
even sections of a busy four track mainline. You can have as
many or as few Power Districts as you wish.
