Power supply for DB210 booster - Model Railroader Magazine

ROBERT PETRICK

I think some older Digitrax equipment could use either 15V AC or 15V DC input, as odd as that sounds, and I think Ed's DCS240 was one of those units.

The DCS240 accepts DC only.

From Digitrax:

Note: Accepts DC POWER input ONLY from power supply (sold separately). Recommended power supply: Digitrax PS514 or equivalent. MAXIMUM INPUT 8 AMPS, 24VDC, 192 VA MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS, DO NOT Exceed 25VDC maximum Input. Minimum Input 13VDC.

Yes, my older Command station and boosters would accept an AC input source but when I bought the 240 some three years ago I reconfigured the power supplies and I did trust what I was buying from the Amazon seller.

Since it was an older model, I went and found a power supply for the booster on ebay.

The DB210 is from 2018 so it really isn't that old in Digitrax's lineup.

However when I opened the package I realized that it is an AC power adapter.

I'm curious as to what made you draw this conclusion. Photos would help.

I miss Randy too.
