DCC Specialties PSXX-ARSC Power Shield Circuit Breaker Auto Reverse For Snap Coil

Features of the PSX-AR and PSX-ARSC

Auto reverser

Circuit breaker

Automatically control reverse loop turnouts

Accessroy decoder for turnout solenoid motors:

Kato

Peco

Atlas



Block Detection

Network Status Feedback

Outputs for LED Indicators: Remote LEDs can be added to monitor the input/output power and the status.

4 Indicator LEDs on the board: Booster power (green), 2 x Block power (green), Block shorted (red)

LED output DCC power in from booster

LED output DCC power out to track/LED output turnout position/track phase

LED output short circuit

LED output block occupied



Select Trip current values 1 – 10 in integer steps (1, 2, 3, …., 10) using CV 49

Jumper Select Current limits of 1, 2, 3, or 4 amperes

Power On/Off by DCC: Turn on/off output track power with your DCC Throttle!

Manual or Automatic Reset: Automatic reset: Breaker tries to reset every 2 seconds. Manual reset: Once the breaker trips, it remains off, ensuring complete isolation of the faulty block. The breaker is reset either by a switch or by a DCC command.

All Solid State Operation: Fast, solid state design with reliable quiet action.

Adaptive Load Reset: Electronically determines if the overload is a real short or due to excess capacitance in sound decoders or lighted passenger cars.

Auto Stop with DCC Reset: A photocell can be connected to a PSXX input. Normally, covering the photocell will not cause any action. If the photocell is armed with a DCC command, the PSXX will turn off the next time the photocell is covered. A DCC command can restore the track power when desired.

Photo Cell Controlled Block Power Off: Stop position control and occupancy detection for hidden tracks.

Block Detection: Either a photo cell or block current draw can be used to detect a train in a block and to trigger a Block Occupied output. The current trigger level is programmable.

Block Occupied Trip point can be automatically set to compensate for current flow in unoccupied block

Very Low Voltage Drop: Total breaker on resistance is less than 0.060 ohms, so the PSXX has a very low voltage drop even at high currents. Better than detectors that use a diode voltage drop.

Programmable Power Up Status: When power is applied to the layout, the PSXX can be set to always turn on, always remain off , or to use the power status present when the layout was last shut down.

Network Feedback: Isolated outputs designed to provide Block Occupied, Block Shorted, and Power Status to a discrete interface for remote display or computer control.

Will work with Digitrax LocoNet, NCE Cab Bus, ESU ECoS, and Lenz XpressNet interfaces.



System Reset: CV63=42 sets all CVs and addresses to original factory values.

Output for Audio Alert: An audible sounder can be added to the PSXX to provide an audible alert if there is a short.

No Power Supply Needed: The PSXX uses the track DCC power to supply its operating power. Each PSXX draws less than 0.04 amperes.

Easy to Install: With 4 mounting holes sized for a #6 screw.

Flash Programmable: The PSXX firmware can be updated by Tony’s Train Exchange as new features become available or if older units need to be matched to a recent purchase.

Discrete Input allows on/off control of track voltage for yard or other track section isolation. Compatible with any system that has a relay or isolated transistor control output including LCC, WiFi, etc. or can be used with manual toggle switch.

+5V and Ground Outputs for powering LEDs, no resistors needed

Power On Status can be on, off (yard or staging sections), or status at power down.

DCC Specialties is so confident about the PSXX's quality and performance that they are providing a 1-year "Goof Proof Warranty".
