WifiTrax ~ Board Replacement Wi-Fi Locomotive Controller with Capacitive Power Maintenance ~ WMR-10
You can install this model locomotive Wi-Fi Controller in many HO scale locomotives so that you can drive them using our free Loco Operator App installed on your Android or Windows 10 phone, tablet or computer.
This Controller replaces the printed circuit board installed in many brands and series of locomotives such as Atlas, Athearn Genesis and Kato, Stewart and other locomotives. It fits without soldering to locomotives that use plastic clips for connections such as the Atlas Trainman series. The controller features capacitive power maintenance which will run your loco and its controller for up to roughly 5 seconds without track power.
Specification:
This module can be easily installed in many HO scale model locomotives and provides Wi-Fi Cab Control of the locomotive using our free App that runs on Windows 10 and Android.
Advanced speed control of the loco is included that uses back-emf from the motor to provide stable running at low and high speeds. The module also provides scale speed output displayed on the speedometer within the App. Front and rear independent light control is included in the App and supported by this module.
Fully compatible with DCC systems. Can use power from DCC Booster or separate DC supply to track.
Front and Rear Light LEDs supplied to replace those in locomotive if necessary.
Dimensions
Length: 76.5mm (3.01") (Including Tabs) Width: 18mm (0.71") Maximum Height: 5mm (0.2") (8.2 mm including small test connector on underside) See diagrams.
Functions
Installs in HO locomotives to provide direct Wi-Fi control using our free App on Android or Windows 10.
Easily connect to many locomotives by replacing the factory-installed board.
Advanced closed-loop, back-emf Direct Wi-Fi Cab Control for HO Model Railroad Locomotives.
Power maintenance over dirty track for up to 5 seconds.
Front and rear light control for LEDs fitted in locomotive. Not suitable for filament lamps.
Comprehensive tuning capability to adjust for different locomotive behavior.
Scale speed output via Wi-Fi to operator App on Android or Windows 10.
Configurable current limiting to protect locomotive.
Power Options
12 to 18 Volts DC independent track power. Recommended 12-14 Volts DC to reduce operating temperature. This unit does not operate using AC.
Power from DCC Booster may be used as alternative to DC.
Typical 80-90mA consumption when stationary.
Typical 200-300mA when running (depending on locomotive)
Maximum peak load current 1.2 Amp. Note that the current is controlled by firmware and is adjusted to achieve the requested speed by monitoring the back e.m.f from the motor. The firmware also provides configurable current limiting.
This unit works very well with high quality modern HO motors that draw 200-300 mA when running steadily and will supply larger currents momentarily as required. We do not recomend this unit for faulty locomotives or older locomotives with motors that need 0.5A or more continuously.
Loco Connection Tips
WMR-10 Light Connections
Front and Rear Lights: The unit does not provide enough current to light filament lamps. If your loco uses filament lamps you will need to replace them with LEDs. We recommend LEDs which you can buy from our website WAL-10 LED Set or you can buy them from an electronic parts distributer such as Digi-Key (Part Number OVLAW4CB7). You may need to verify the circuitry of your locomotive and to help with this we provide the output circuits: WMR-10 Light Connections and how they expect to connect to LEDs in your loco.
