Description
TCS 2004 KA3-P DCC Decoder Keep-Alive Device - 2-pin Micro JST Plug
TCS Keep-Alive® (KA) devices are used to supply power to decoders during times of power interruption due to dirty track or problematic track work.
Newly-redesigned and coming in at half the size of a KA4, the KA2 will power HO or N scale locomotives with approximately one-third of the capacitance of KA3/KA4 devices (depending on the locomotive and motor).
This Keep-Alive® includes a 2-Pin Quick Connector Harness for plugging into decoders with a compatible socket. , such as the T4.
Decoder Specifications:
- Dimensions: 1.02” x .45” x .347” or 25.9mm x 11.43mm x 8.81mm
- Connection: 2-pin Micro JST Plug
- Input Voltage: 12-16V
Keep Alive® Decoder Compatibility With TCS Decoders
TCS Keep Alive® (KA) devices are designed to operate with all TCS (or any other Keep Alive® ready) decoders. Decoders with a corresponding socket can be used with the KA(x)-P. This will be detailed in the decoder literature if the decoder has the socket.
!!!WARNING!!! Decoders with a “-KAC” suffix have a non-polarized 2-Pin Connector for attaching the KA(x)-C. The KA(x)-P is NOT compatible with this style of plug-in Keep Alive® interface.
Keep Alive® Decoder Compatibility With Non-TCS Decoders
If you would like to attach a Keep Alive® unit to a non-TCS decoder, you need to connect the wires across the output of the bridge rectifier on the decoder. You will need to consult your decoder manufacturer for a schematic or wiring diagram.
Installation Notes for TCS Decoders
- ALL TCS decoders are compatible with Keep Alive® devices.
- Plug the Keep Alive® wires into the socket decoder (The plug interface is polarized and designed to only be plugged together one way).
- That’s it! Your locomotive is ready to run over the most treacherous of tracks.
