Digitrax BDL716 LocoNet Block Occupancy Detector - 16 Detection Sections

Digitrax BDL716 LocoNet Block Occupancy Detector - 16 Detection Sections

The BDL716 is a cost effective LocoNet Occupancy Detector for 16 detection sections. 

Lets you know when detection sections of your layout are occupied.

When used in conjunction with one or two RX4 transponder detectors it operates up to 8 transponding zones and operations mode read back. 

Know what is where on your layout!

BDL716 Features:

• 16 DS sections, similar to BDL168, for DCC occupancy detection.
• All plug-in connectors for simple and easy installation and service.
• User defined as 16 DS reporting addresses in 1 to 2000+ DS range.
• Easy setup with device Option Switches (OPSW)
• Powered by 2mm DC jack, 8V min to 22V max.
• Configured to operate with DCC booster power from; DCS52, DCS100, DCS210, DCS210+, DCS240, DCS240+ Command Stations, DB210 and DB220 boosters.
• Can split into two 8-DS areas to operate from two separate boosters.
• Optional Detection and Power status led connector for remote state indication, compatible with e.g. LT5C. [5V@1K ohm led source

BDL History:  BDL16 was released in 2000 and was replaced by BDL162 in 2002.  An update kit was available from BDL16 to BDL162.  BDL162 was replaced by BDL168 in 2004.  No update kit was offerred because the circuit board was completely re-engineered.  BDL168 was replaced by BDL716 in 2024. 

For Use With RX4s to add transponding

For Use With RD2 Remote Sensing Diodes to set up remote sensing locations
