CONVRTR-60 Board Familiarization

1. Battery Input Terminals: Connection to the battery goes here. The positive pad is labeled

with a + sign and the pad is square. The battery negative connection is to the round pad. The

CONVRTR-60 is polarity sensitive. Reversing the polarity will destroy the CONVRTR-60.

2. DCC Output Terminals : Connect these two pads to the DCC decoder. Use # 20 - #24 AWG

stranded wire to make all connections.

3. Green PWR LED Indicator: Glows bright green when power is applied.

4. Red GP LED Indicator: Glows steady bright red when an AirWire throttle is set to the

CONVRTR-60's frequency (regardless of loco address).

5. Radio Module: This is the sensitive radio receiver. Keep it away from metal objects. The

CONVRTR-60 on the right has a built-in antenna. It has a built-in antenna which is the dark oval

on the blue circuit board.

6. Removable Antenna: The CONVRTR-60X on the left has a jack for use with different types

of external antennas. A 3 inch whip antenna comes with the CONVRTR-60X. Keep the antenna

away from all wiring for best reception.

Use Track Power? - Not Recommended, But...

power scavenged from some other form of track power can damage the battery and

is highly discouraged.

However, we realize that this may be of interest to some users, especially if they intend to operate

their battery powered locomotive on powered track. There are no specific precautions for the

CONVRTR-60. However, it must stay within the absolute maximum ratings listed on the back page.

Use A Bridge Rectifier To Insure Proper Polarity for CONVRTR-60 Power Input. Insert a

bridge rectifier between the CONVRTR-60 DC input and the source of external DC power. Doing so

insures proper polarity regardless of the source power polarity.

Use Only Pure and Well Regulated DC. The power supply must be well regulated. It must not have

any ripple. A minimum specification of 5% regulation is recommended. CVP's DCPS120 power

supply can be used.

Set Power Supply Voltage to about 15 volts DC. The peak DCC voltage at the output of the

CONVRTR-60 will be approximately equal to the DC voltage at its power input terminals.

Clean Wheels And Clean Track Are Mandatory if power is not supplied by batteries.

Wiring The Railroad Is A Long And Boring Chore. If you use battery powered locomotives, there

is no need to worry about reverse-loops, turnout wiring, dead frogs, opposing point switch wiring,

route control wiring and the many other wiring requirements related to properly powering

locomotives through the rails.

Power Supply

The DCPS120 Power supply is a 120 Watt, adjustable DC power supply with excellent load

regulation. The output voltage is variable from 15V to 24V. It has built in overload and short circuit

protection. It is available direct from CVP Products. See the website for ordering details.
