Description
1.1
Operation
The Power2 is a small and smart add-on Booster for both digital as well
as analog layouts.
It can be used:
•
along with a DAISY throttle (connected to the Power2 “DAISY”
connector) to form the “DAISY-System” in digital mode: a multi-
protocol digital Command Station
•
as an add-on Booster for digital Command Stations (either through a
LocoNet connection or through the 5-pole Booster connector)
•
as an analog train control system, when used with one or more
LocoNet throttles (e.g., a DAISY throttle, an IB-Control, a FRED, etc.)
•
as an additional power unit for driving one more sections of an analog
layout
•
as an intelligent “DCC turnout booster” (e.g., allowing DCC turnout
operation of an analog layout)
