Description
TCS 2006 KA5-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.
The KA5 includes an additional fifth supercapacitor, increasing the maximum capacity and peak charging voltage compared to a KA3 or KA4. The KA5 will power an HO-Scale locomotive with headlights on for approximately 6 to 20 seconds (depending on the locomotive and the efficiency of the 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: 1.325” x .45” x .347” or 33.45mm x 11.45mm x 8.80mm
- 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.
