Short Circuit Protection

(1/1)

alco_diesel:
I’ve somehow acquired several AR-1 modules and no CB-1 modules. Can the AR-1 be used as a circuit breaker?

Thanks,

G8B4Life:
I'd say yes. From the AR-1 manual available on Rings site:


--- Quote ---The AR-1 can also be used to isolate small sections of track, limiting the impact of short circuits if derailments occur to just one area of your layout.

--- End quote ---

I'm guessing the AR-1 and CB-1 are essentially the same internally , possibly exactly the same with just a "switch", either physical or software, to tell it to be an AR-1 or a CB-1.

William Brillinger:
I believe the AR-1 and CB-1 are the same hardware. You may be able to get the CB software to load on the AR if you contact Ring.

alco_diesel:
Thanks guys. I’ll pursue it with RE.
