Booster B-4 English
In order to connect the cables to the booster use the enclosed
connectors which are designed to screw on the cables.
Please note:
Do not block the flow of air through the ventilation slits at the booster
´s top and back surface, otherwise the booster can overheat. Risk of
fire! You should never cover the ventilation slits. When connecting the
booster be sure to keep sufficient distance to other devices, walls, and
the like.
Connecting the control unit
You can connect the connection "A" of the booster either to
 the control unit´s track output (connections C and D only) or
 the control unit´s DCC booster connection.
Check that the pin assignment of the control unit´s booster interface
corresponds to that of the booster.
If you want the control unit to switch off the booster when a short
circuit occurs, you have to connect the short circuit feedback line. If
you do not connect the short circuit feedback line, the booster will be
switched off automatically when a short circuit occurs and automatically
on again after a set time.
Connecting an additional booster
In order to connect another booster connect an additional cable to each
of the three connections of "A" .
Hint: Only use boosters of one type and made by one manufacturer to
avoid problems such as:
 Problems with data transfer to the decoders.
 Current leakage that make locomotives move by themselves when
other locomotives cross the borders between two track sections.
 Short circuits when crossing sections.
