5. Unpacking and starting up

The ECoSBoost is safely protected in a carton with a two-part blis-

ter when delivered. Please keep the packaging and this manual in

a safe place for later use. Only the original packaging guarantees

protection from transport damage.

5.1. Content of package

Please check that all items are contained in the package immedi-

ately after opening it.

If one of the components mentioned here should be missing, ple-

ase contact your retailer or dealer immediately.

5.2. Locating the device

Place the ECoSBoost on a ﬂat, clean and dry surface within sight

of your model train layout.. Provide suitable conditions for your

ECoSBoost: ideally operate the ECoSBoost at room temperature.

Avoid heat sources in the immediate surroundings.

Put up your ECoSBoost in such a way that the cooling slits at the

front are not covered. Only then a sufﬁcient air circulation will be

ensured. Please consider that the fans start temperature-controlled

and might produce exhaust air.

5.2.1. Screw the device tight

TheECoSBoostcanbedirectlyscrewedontothelayout.Youjust

need to remove the (only attached) transparent cover and using

wood screws, secure through the ECoSBoost as shown in ﬁgure 1.

•WhenusingECoSBoostoutsideyou mustprotectitfromthe

elements under all circumstances! Only keep ECoSBoost out-

side as long as you run trains and avoid temperatures below 8°

Celsius or above 30° Celsius.

•Donotuseanyaggressivechemicals,cleaningsolutionsorsol-

vents for cleaning ECoSBoost. Never use liquids or spray for

cleaning the monitor. Instead use a clean slightly (!) moist cloth

and only when ECoSBoost is switched off.

•DonotattempttoopenECoSBoost.

Warning

Your model railway layout must never be left unattended! An

unnoticed short circuit may lead to ﬁre risk due to heating!

4. Introduction – Why Booster?

As with analogue, a sufﬁcient power supply for the layout is essen-

tial for the safe operation of your ECoS command station or your

Märklin® central station®. All power consuming devices on the

layout such as locomotives, wagon lighting sets, turnouts, signals

etc. have to be powered with energy.

This task is performed by the so-called “boosters”.

Boosters amplify the track signals produced by the digital com-

mand station and power the connected track section.

Both the ESU ECoS as well as the Märklin® central station ® have

installed such a booster.

If the power consumption of all running trains is however, higher

than the maximum current the command station is able to supply,

you must divide your layout in to sections. Every section will be

for this task. It is perfectly prepared for being used with the ESU

ECoS or the Märklin® central station®.

The question, whether additional boosters are needed, cannot be

answered easily in practice as it is difﬁcult to determine the actual

power requirement of your layout.

Youcanroughlyestimatethepowerrequirementasfollows:

Running locos without LokSound:

Gauge N: Between 350mA and 600mA

Gauge H0: Between 450mA and 1000mA

Big gauges: Between 750mA and 2000mA

Running locos with LokSound:

Gauge N or H0: Between 450mA and 1100mA

Big gauges: Between 1500mA and 3500mA

Interior lighting: ca. 50mA per bulb or LED

Turnout motor: Between 500mA and 1500mA
