Welcome to our new section for CT Elektronik from Austria who manufacture
a growing range of DCC items.
We intend to progressively offer their full product range and are stocking their start set and a range of loco, sound and function decoders now.
|
|
This is the CT Elektronic Starter Set. It comprises the HR3 Cab and ZF5 Command/Power Station.
An advanced specification, 5 Amp, multi protocol, Digital system at an extremely competitive price.
It is intuitive with a comprehensive, menu based, display. This system is so new that the manual has not been completed yet but it so easy to use that, once you have been told how to change the display language to English, you could write your own manual.
Look at the specification below.

NMRA DCC available in full now. Marklin and Selectrix will follow by software update. The system is XpressNet compatible.
Voltage stabilised and fully adjustable between 10 and 21 volts. Output current adjustable in 100 mA steps up to the maximum of 5 Amps.
Up to 10 x 5 Amp boosters can be used.
Can control two locos simultaneously; one with the dynamic regulator and one on the numeric key pad.
10239 loco addresses.
1024 accessory addresses.
14, 28 and 128 speed steps.
Marklin: 80 Addresses & 14 speed steps
Full function mapping F1 to F12 . Total number of functions available is 28.
|
Decoders and accessories from different manufacturers using different protocols will be able to be used together on the same layout.
Programming on the main and the program track. Direct, Paged and Register modes, by bit or byte, are available.
Built in RS232 interface allows computer control and full software update for the Command Station and Cab.
8 logic inputs are provided offering shuttle operations and other automation.
UK/EU radio is coming and the receiver socket is built into the Command Station.
Consisting up to 100 combinations of up to 6 locos.
|
Large, backlit, graphics capable illuminated LCD display. The following information is available during normal operation:
Loco address, loco name, decoder format, speed in graphic and numeric formats and direction of travel.
Power consumption from 10mA upwards and track voltage to an accuracy of 100mV.
The display is mode dependant and shows information relevant to the current use.
Display and adjustment of speed tables in a graphic format.
User definable recall stack up to a maximum of 100 locos. Up to 31 Cabs.
Single keystroke route setting of multple points.
|
PLUS: the system can is also an analogue controller with a maximum 2.5Amp output. Unlike other systems that can control one non DCC loco this is true DC and safe for all locos.
All this for only £240.00
requires separate transformer- 5 Amp at 15 - 20 volts depending on output requirement

Other Features
|
|
The DCX75D supports the complete Zimo signal-dependent train control and number recognition capabilities.
The 10 bit processor possesses a Flash MEMORY
and can have error correction and firmware upgrades completed by the user.
The decoder memory retains packet information for up to 30 secs offering improved performance on dirty track.
Safety device for children: the decoder is lockable so that one cannot delete
or reprogram by mistake.
