Application Documentation DCC Power District Circuit Breaker and Auto-Reverser that incorporate a solid state design, block detection and network feedback. Can replace Digitrax PM42 and AR1 PSX-AR Manual PSX Hints Board size: is 5.75 by 3.75 inches

The Power Shield X series is a product of years of research into problems dealing with false overload that cause premature shut down of DCC Boosters and other Circuit Breakers. These false overloads are caused by large capacitors used in sound systems decoders or lighted passenger cars. The overload appears as a short circuit until the capacitors are charged. The logic on the new Power Shield X Series determines if the load is a true short or just an overload due to discharged capacitor.

There are (4) versions of the new PSX-AR Series Integrated DCC Circuit Breaker and Auto-Reverser: (1) PSX-AR, with integrated stall motor decoder (2) PSX-ARFB, same as above with added network feedback (3) PSX-ARSC, with integrated snap coil decoder (4) PSX-ARSCFB, same as above with added network feedback. Features PSX-AR and PSX-ARSC Automatic Coordination of Auto Reverse and Circuit Breaker Tasks: It is both a auto reverser and a circuit breaker. Fast, all solid state design with reliable quiet electronic reversing, no blinks, clicks or sparks! Adaptive Load Reset: Electronically senses if the overload is a real short or due to in-rush capacitance of sound decoders. Automates Reverse Loop Turnouts: Integrated stall motor or snap coil decoder, automatically lines up switch machines is when the polarity is reversed. Switch machine can also be controlled with standard DCC accessory commands or push buttons. Manual or Automatic Reset: Automatic reset of the breaker or a push button switch can manually reset. Outputs for LED Indicators: LEDs can be added to monitor; input/output power and status. Wide Range of Current Trip Setting: Trip currents are adjustable adjusted by jumpers or CVs: 1.27 to 19.2 Amps System Reset: A single CV command sets all Addresses and CVs to original factory values. Output for Audio Alarm: An audible sounder can be added to the card to alert you when there is a short. Booster Function for Low Current: Some boosters need help when resetting. Adding a jumper kick starts low Amp systems. Auto Stop with CV Reset: A photocell can detect a train in the reverse section and turn off power. A DCC command can then restore the power. Board size: is 5 3/4 by 3 3/4 inches, designed to fit standard Radio Shack enclosure. Features PSX-ARFB and PSX-ARSCFB All of the above plus Feedback and Block Occupancy Feedback, Shorted and Occupancy Status to Digitrax (LocoNet), Lenz (ExpressNet) and NCE (CabBus) Block Occupancy Outputs: Indicates block occupied or if there is a real short, Occupancy Amps adjustable All PSX Series DCC Circuit Breakers include Network Feedback at no extra charge. Feedback, Shorted and Occupancy Status to  Digitrax (LocoNet), Lenz (ExpressNet) and NCE (CabBus).
