2. The Intellibox connectors
This chapter describes the connectors of the Intellibox and shows
what must be taken into account when different devices are to be
connected to the Intellibox.
2.1 Definition of the Intellibox connectors
The image below is the rear view of the Intellibox with all its
connectors.
1. 6-way header: Transformer, normal track, programming track
2. RJ12 socket: LocoNet T (Throttle)
3. RJ12 socket: LocoNet B (Booster)
4. 3-way header: DCC-Booster
5. USB-Socket: USB Computer interface
For connecting one of the individual devices see Chap. 2.
2.2 Preparation of the clamp plugs
Two clamp plugs are supplied with the booster to
connect the transformer, the normal track and the
programming track. Use a work bench or similar
surface to connect the cables to the clamps.
The cables which are to be attached are
manufactured from braid or wire with a cross section of at least
0.5mm², with at least 6 mm (approx.) stripped at the end. Carefully
twisted and after that possibly tinned.
The 3-way clamping plug is opened by a
light pressure of the plug the clamping
device with a narrow screwdriver (2
mm) through the top opening. A cable
with stripped end is inserted into the
clamping plug from the front. By
releasing the screwdriver the cable is
fixed in position and a safe contact is
made.
The 6 pin plug for connecting the transformer,
track and reversing loop is a screw terminal
plug with which the cables are fixed by
tightening the screws.
