Booster-Link English
Page 23
4. Operation overview
Standard boosters used in digital model railway layouts controlled by
mfx
®
-central units (e.g. mobile station or central station of Maerklin**),
do not allow the transfer of the mfx
®
-feed back data across the
isolation between the booster sections. For that reason vehicles that are
in booster sections supplied by standard boosters cannot log in at the
central unit.
The Booster-Link is used in combination with commercial standard
boosters and transfers the mfx
®
-feed back data across the isolation
between the booster sections. In layouts supplied by several boosters,
you need one Booster-Link for each booster.
As usual in 3-rail systems the centre conductor has to be isolated
between the booster sections when installing the Booster-Link. The
outer conductors must not be isolated.
