8.3.2. Wiring three-conductor tracks
Please pay attention to the right polarity, as otherwise some older
decoders (e.g. k83) will not work.
Wiring takes place as shown. If your new Motorola® locos work
but the old k83 accessory decoders and older Märklin® locos do
not it is most likely that polarity has been swapped.
Märklin® offers a suitable connecting track for the C-track system.
Part number 74046 is not suitable! For the K track system you
should use the connecting track No. 2290.
8.4. ECoSlink connection
Viathebuscablethatisincludedindelivery,theECoSBoostcan
be connected to one of the ECoSlink-Connect sockets of the com-
mand station. Please make sure that the cable is in the correct
position.

to the same circuit as the ECoSBoostBoost. The ECoSBoost-
Boost may be damaged or destroyed!
•Dependingontherespectiveversion,theECoSBoostBoostsup-
plies up to 8A track current. Always consider if you actually
need such a high output current. In case of a short circuit your
locos may be damaged and there may be risk of fire! Also refer
to chapter 10.2 regarding the current reduction.
•Please always ensure that the polarity of all track sections is
identical! Terminal “B” of the first ECoSBoostBoost and ter-
minal „B“ of the following booster must be connected to the
same side of the track! Otherwise, this will lead to short-circuits
whenever a locomotive crosses the district boundaries between
the sections!
Remove all capacitors that may possibly haven been wired to the
track power supply cable in your layout. They would cause a strong
heat build-up of the booster and impair the power output. Almost
in every connecting track in an analogue starter kit (Roco®, Mär-
klin®) are, respectively were, capacitors installed.
8.3.1. Wiring two-conductor tracks
Wiring takes place as shown. Polarity is not an issue (for DCC or
Selectrix®).
