Guess my Digitrax system is mad at me for buying a NCE . All of a sudden all my trains speed went to half the speed they were running. Thought I was losing my mind. So here is what I did;
I took a DC engine and ran it with the Zephyr , it ran very slow but ran steady( Like it was a 1/2 speed) The I took a Bachmann Spectrum transformer ( DC) , wired it to the layout and the DC engine(s) ran a normal speed. Tested my Zephyr at Rail A & B as per Digitrax e-mail told me to do. They said I needed over 13 volts after I combined the A/B rail readings . Here are my readings:
0 throttle/
A- 7.12
b- 7.02
1/2 throttle
a - 10.03
b- 4.03
Full throttle
A- 10.63
B - 3.44
Digitrax tells me the unit is fine but I need to send it in for further testing?? I am confused. Any suggestions?
