WifiTrax 5A Wi-Fi/DCC Trackside Command Station/Booster WFD-27
The WFD-27 along with a phone or tablet is a complete 5A Wi-Fi DCC solution!
You can install this Wi-Fi/DCC Command Station/Booster on your layout to provide bipolar DCC encoded power to your track or layout accessories.
You can control trains from your tablet or smart phone running one of the WiThrottle Apps such as Engine Driver for Android, WiThrottle for Apple or the TCS UWT-100.
Commands will be passed on to a set of locomotives or accessories equipped with DCC decoders.
Each locomotive will be addressed separately and be under independent control.
The WFD-27 module may receive commands from more than one tablet, addressing the same or different locomotives.
A roster of up to 16 locomotives with Function Labelling, or 32 accessories can be stored in the WFD-27 so that you can select the locomotive you want to drive from the WiThrottle app.
The WFD-27 also supports a programming track so that you can read and write DCC configuration variables in DCC Service Mode.
You can program operational mode configuration variables on the main track.

DescriptionSpecificationWFD-27 5A Wi-Fi/DCC Trackside Command Station/Booster
This module is a complete Wi-Fi/DCC Command Station/Booster and can be easily installed on any scale model railroad to provide Wi-Fi control of DCC Locomotives and Accessories. It is compatible with NMRA compliant decoders.
For example you might have a collection of locomotives HO or N scale that you have bought with DCC deccoders already installed or you might have installed some yourself. You can mount this module on your layout and connect its Track output to your track and/or accessory DCC controllers. You can then enter all your locomotives (up to 16) into the roster contained within the module. The WFD-27 module will behave as a DCC command/station booster compatible with any NMRA decoder.
You can drive your trains from your tablet or smart phone running one of the WiThrottle Apps such as Engine Driver for Android, WiThrottle for Apple or the TCS UWT-100.
You can enter up to 16 locomotives in the roster with function labelling, then select a loco from the roster to drive. Alternatively you can just enter a DCC address of an unrostered loco.
Up to 32 named accessories may be entered and selected via the phone app or you can simply enter the accessory address.
The WFD-27 operates either in direct mode or home-net mode. Up to four throttles may be connected in direct mode and up to six in home-net mode. In home-net mode you can leave your phone connected to your home Wi-Fi network while you operate trains.
Main Track and Program Track outputs are provided. Connect the Track outputs to your main track and the Program output to your DCC programming track. On the programming track you can program and read DCC Configuration variables including the DCC Address in DCC service Mode. On the Main Track you can program DCC Configuration variables in operational mode but not read them.
Specification:
Preliminary Specification - Subject to change..
Dimensions
Length: 90mm (3.54") Width: 60mm (2.36") Maximum Height: 14mm (0.55")
Functions and Modes of Operation
Installs on your layout to provide direct Wi-Fi control and supply of Bipolar DCC to Main and Programming Tracks.
Output Ratings
Maximum Continuous Current Main Track: 5.0 Amp. Maximum Continuous Current Programming Track: 1.0 Amp.
Power Supply Options
(1) 12 to 18 Volts DC independent power, wired to screw teminals on unit. This unit does not operate using AC. Input must be connected with correct polarity but module is protected against power reversal.
(3) Plug-in 15V mains adapter connected directly to unit - available separately.
Mounting
Four M3 mounting holes for use with screws, nuts and spacers, or suitable wood screws with spacers. Mounting kit provided.
Connections
One pair of screw terminal outputs to connect bipolar DCC power to main track.
One pair of screw terminal outputs to connect bipolar DCC power to programming track.
Two screw terminal connections for DC power input, (acts as power output when barrel connector used).
Barrel connector for alternative 15V DC Mains Adapter (Sold Separately).
LED Indicators
Red LED indcates that power is present at the unit.
Green LED flashes when a hand-held device communicates via Wi-Fi. Blue LED indicates DCC supplied on main track. Blue LED flashes when overload shutdown occurs.
Mains Adapter Details
The power adapter must supply between 12 and 18 Volts DC (15V recommended) with a Barrel Plug (2.5mm I.D. x 5.5mm O.D. x 9.5mm). The center pin must be positive. A recommended power adaptor is available from WifiTrax: http://www.wifitrax.com/products/product-PA15-43-1-detail.html
Protection
The module shuts down automatically when the current on its track outputs exceeds approximately 6A or when a short of the main track occurs. Power is restored automatically when the short is removed.
The output DCC driver to the programming track is protected against shorts.
Protection is provided against accidental reversal of the power input to the module.
