Digitrax AR1 - Automatic Reverse Controller (Single)

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 hook-up, 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.
