markp123 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi,I've just purchased the DCC booster and according to the instructions the R8239 can be used in reverse loop / wye configurations. However there's no schematic diagram in the manual to illustrate how this could be done or used in this way. Can anyone enlighten me how the R8329 would be setup for reverse loops? Can the booster only be connected to inside the reverse loop? (which would be the section that's insulated from the main layout)I know this approach is all OTT as I could use the reverse loop module instead, it's just that I'm entrigued about the possiblities.Regards,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes, it connects to the isolated section of track in the RL just like an RLM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If using the R8239 as a RLM, then I suggest connecting it as per Fig 4 in the User Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markp123 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks for the replies as I think I've got it now. It sounds like if you have a large reverse loop with a lot going on in the isolated section it could be useful to create this into a power district.However I have a very simple reverse loop so it would make no sense for me.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ignoring it has more power than you need, a booster and an RLM are interchangeable to run an RL. So if you happen to have a booster lying around, use it, don't go out and buy an RLM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
