PSX-ARFB shorting out Zephyr
Posted by jkroft on Monday, June 16, 2008 8:46 PM
I tried setting CV-49 to "1" per the instructions (1.27 amps trip current).  Also set the boost (CV-53) to "anything but zero"...  The Zephyr intermittently shorts when power is applied to the rails.  Any advice?

If the device is new to your system and your system was working fine before this device was added check the wirering for said device, check and remove everything from your layout (rolling stock, loco's, tools and building materials). Make sure you and or someone else has not laid something on the rail system shorting them out. Disconnect the device from your system, if the short disappears and the system return to normal operation I would suspect that the device was somehow wirered incorrectly or that the device is defective.
