A kind fellow model railroader provided me with some PSX breakers, the older version. Presently I have broken up my layout into 3 power districts and I have 3 PSX to feed to each one. How are these programmed to provide optimal protection. I'll be using a new TCS CS-105 Command Station for he layout. Any guidance or comments would be appreciated.
Beware of whether the PSX breakers are compatible with RailCom. Some breakers/AR devices/boosters are not. If you do not want to use RailCom on your CS-105, I think you can disable it. But it is useful (assuming supported on your decoders/CBs, etc.) for rapid programming on the main with very rapid readback of decoder settings, even while other locomotives remain active. I have a CS-105, but it and all my MRR stuff is still in boxes from our recent move to our new house. Plan to rectify that soon!
That sucks. I started hunting around for info on that and found Larry Pucket, The DCC Guy video on YT. Larry had gotten a lot of feedback so reached out to Larry Meyer at DCC Specialties. He had looked in-depth at the problem, which Larry Puckett discuses. Larry Meyers has a new software version, Revision G, which includes a new CV 57, which allows you to turn off the circuit within the PSX that monitors for small shorts, over current blips, PSX will ignore them and default to the basic short circuit detection.
