The DB150 command station/booster can be used as a slave booster with any of Digitrax's DCC systems to add more power. It can also be used as an auto-reverser. However, the PM42 can also be used as an auto-reverser for much less money.

Besides the scale switch, the DB150 has a voltage trim pot inside to facilitate matching voltages between it and other boosters. This insures there will be no loco speed up/slow down when crossing power district gaps - providing you have adequate wiring.

There is no battery inside to maintain memory when power is turned off. Instead, memory is kept in EEPROM - a form of memory that maintains memory when power is turned off.

This Booster requires a power supply with a minimum of five amps. Refer to the Power Supply page for information about voltage needs.
