Digitrax AR1 Auto Reversing Controller
The easiest most cost effective way to add automatic reversing to one section of your DCC layout.
AR1 Features:
- 
Cost effective automatic reversing for one reversing section or subdistrict 
- 
User selectable trip current lets you adjust the AR1 to work with any scale or equipment on your layout 
- 
Auto-Reversing manages polarity mismatches on the reversing track section without manually throwing electrical toggle switches or adding another booster 
- 
8 amp peak, 6 amp continuous Auto-reversing control for a single reversing district. 
- 
Simple to wire 4 wire hookup, no locomotive wiring required 
- 
No external power required, runs off track power 
- 
AR1 operates with or without LocoNet, so it is compatible with all DCC systems. 
Alternatives to AR1 for Automatic Reversing on your layout:
1. Use a double pole, double throw switch to manually allow for reversing.
2. Use one Digitrax booster set for automatic reversing and another set for normal operation.
3. Use a PM42 Quad Power Manager to handle 4 power sub-districts. You can set these up to be automatic reversing or power managers to prevent short circuits from shutting down your layout.
