DCC boosters in general are nothing more than powerful switches with short
circuit sensors and protection. Because the DCC signal is digital and very
simple, such boosters are not very picky about the input signal. You can
hook them either to the output of a command station, or to the output of
another booster. The former is preferred so that it continues to operate if
the other booster has a short circuit.
There will be only six wires to connect to a generic booster:
- 2 input wires that go to the output of the RCX. Polarity is not important.
- 2 power supply wires. Polarity in general is not important either as most
booster contain a rectifier and take either AC or DC.
- 2 output wires to go to the track. Polarity is not important, either.
