I have a Digitrak DCS52 and a Digitrak UP6Z. I have AZL GP30 and AZL GP38-2 I want to program. Do I use the Prog A & B wire connections through the UP6Z than to the program track? Do you recommend the 4 volt or 6 volt from the UP6Z to the main track? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I wouldn’t do it that low. Use at least 10 volts. One the reason I got rid of my voltage reducer is that some decoders don’t like the low voltage, and didn’t run right.

My concern is for the two Marklin steam engines I will be running within decoders on the same track. Is there not a possibility of over heating them?

BUT you do not need to use it AT ALL if you are running the locos you describe. You only need it for Marklin locomotives. |

He asks about Programming and, the Prog A & B connections. These are low current protected but still ~12 volts. Use the Prog A and B connections *direct* to a SEPARATE piece of track (or the Main layout *IF* you use a toggle switch to select what connection on the Digitrax system you want (Rail A&B or, Prog A&B) Its better if you have a SEPARATE track as you can program while another train is running on the Main (Rail A&B) - through the UP6 ( for ~4 volts).
