2. Select the lowest possible voltage setting on your DB150. Select the N-scale setting on the "Scale" switch.
3. Set up your transformer to power the booster. Connect the power leads from the transformer to the DB150's "POWER IN" terminals but do not turn on the transformer yet.
Note: It is not necessary to solder any wires during the test procedure, simply twist the leads together to perform the test.
1. Connect the protection resistor to the RAIL A output on the booster. Connect one end of the large resistor from the test kit to the BLACK output terminal labeled RAIL A. This connection protects your Digitrax decoder from ANY subsequent wiring errors as long as no other connection is made to the "RAIL A" terminal.
2. Connect the free end of the large resistor to the decoder's Right hand power input lead (RED).
3 Use a wire to connect the BLACK output terminal labeled RAIL B on the DB50 (or other compatible booster) to the decoder's Left hand power input lead (BLACK). This is the "protected" power input to the decoder. This arrangement limits the track power available that could cause damage to an incorrectly wired decoder.
If you are not using a Digitrax system consult your system manual to determine the equivalent connections.
The objective of this test is to establish that the decoder correctly handles light operation commands sent by the command station.
1. Turn off track power. On the UT2 press "RUN" and "OFF" to turn of the track power.
2. Disconnect the GRAY & ORANGE decoder leads from the LT-1. Attach the BLACK/GREEN lead of the LT-1 to the wire that is connected to the decoder Left power lead (BLACK). Connect the RED/YELLOW lead of the LT-1 to the Forward light lead from the decoder (WHITE). Be sure that all leads not being used are secured and not touching each other.
Use your command station to send light commands to the decoder.
Press "F0" on the UT2 to turn on the Front headlight on. One of the LED's on the LT-1 should glow, if not throw the reverse toggle switch. The LED should toggle on and off as the toggle switch is thrown.
Repeat STEP 2 using the YELLOW lead from the decoder to test the REVERSE HEADLIGHT.
