Digitrax AR1 and BLI Loco's

Hi, I’m having some trouble setting up the autoreverser on my turntable it either keeps tripping back and forth (relay clicking) or just shorts out and the Lenz DCC trips off. Is it to do with the current draw from BLI loco’s (I haven’t anything else to test with) or is it faulty.

Thanks Ken.

Looking at the documentation, it seems tha the trip current needs to be adjusted.

If you are not already a member, try joining the Yahoo Digitrax users group and post the question there.

Thanks Simon I’ve adjusted the he** out of the thing but still trips off, I’ll try the Yahoo site.

NZRmac:

I have the AR-1 and use it with a Ditgitrax Zephyr. When I set it up, I had the AR-1 adjusted to the 50% setting, and my Zephyr tripped before the AR-1. I kept slowly turning the AR-1 down until the Zephyr didn’t trip, and it’s been working fine since.
