I'm planning on using the controller for N scale. Right now I have several DC locos, is this controller ok to use for N scale dc locos one at a time?

I agree with Barbara. It works well, but will only control one locomotive at a time.

It has a DC preset on it that will allow the control of ONE DC loco. I advise converting your existing locos to DCC so you can have more fun.

I have used the controller one time on dc. It works OK but is noisy. It will heat up the loco if it is left still for a while. Works fine with dcc in N scale.

The box says it can be used on N, HO, and ON30. I use it on ON30 and it works on DCC locomotives but you can run 1 analog (DC) locomotive at a time.

You can reasonably connect 4 panels at 128 Watts and 24 Volts each using this spider. Connect the single lead to a 10AWG cable (sold separately from Amazon) and then to your charge controller. This is my set-up and the set-up of many other responders here. So, to answer your question, I believe the four conductors may not be 10AWG, but the single one I believe to be 10AWG. All stranded. I used the MC4 connectors sold separately from Amazon.

I have used many different controllers. This is the only one that thinks and is adaptable to all configurations. also the factory will help call them.They adjusted one for me so it resets to my desired temp.

It is for DCC only, the documentation included with the units states: "Developed to simplify the wiring of reverse loops on two rail layouts using NMRA Conformant Digital Command Control..." it also has an "Important Notice" "..the reverse Loop Module does not function for two-rail DC layouts powered by conventional 12v DC!"

I have not tried this and wonder why you want to unless you have too much power for one. They do make a controllers that works up to sixty amps. I don't know how you want to wire this. Using separate panels is the only thing I can guess. I use my meter every day to read the total amps going to my batteries and the voltage at any given time. The lights on the front of the controller tell you most things about the system but not the voltage or the current. The voltage tells you how close you are to a full charge. If you have two sets of panels you would need two controllers with two meters. Hope this helps. I have not tried this and wonder why you want to unless you have too much power for one.

I have the 4 wire(pwm) 3.90 amp Delta fan, and I cannot slow down this mega fan enough to be usable, with this controller. It works great with my other non PWM fans but I can only slow this Delta fan about 1/8 before it just shuts off. If you have gotten the 3 wire 3.9 amp delta fan to work properly with this PWM speed controller, I'd like to know.

I don't run G scale and am not at all familiar with the power needed to operate it. I model HO and N (later on)The 1300 operated both those well but I have some 2.5 grade runs and had to move up to the Tech7. As I add rail I willn have to move up again. I would not recommend it for G scale based on what I have experianced.

It can run up to 9 DCC-equipped locomotives at a time, plus one non-DCC. Each and every one can have speed independently controlled.

It will actually shiw up as 3 devices: À 2 button scene controller and 2 binary switches. Once associated with your controller the two switches will be disassociated with the scene controller buttons. You will have to re-assocuate them with the buttons IF you want to use it like a double switch. It depends on your use case.The directions on how to do this will vary depending on your controller.

Yes you can. I think you can have up to 4 dc motors and 2 servos at a time.

Yes this is the same speed controller you need for vortex fans. I'm using it currently on the 8" s-line fan with brushless motor. this controller is what is recommended to use by atmosphere.

This is for N, HO, TT, & Z scales, which operate on DC voltage not AC voltage. The throttle on this is DC, while the AC is a constant voltage intended for accessories. If your locomotive operates exclusively on DC, then using this product for the throttle can damage your locomotive.

If you wanted to run all 3 at the same time off this unit it probably won't work, but if you understand your constraints and only operate 1 at a time you shouldn't have a problem. It may take you a few days to tune in your settings, so be prepared for that. Once you establish your settings you will be golden.

Yes, I have two reverse loops (HO scale) each conrolled by a reversing module. My lay out is DCC also using Bachman controls.

The EZ command system works fine with N-scale. I've been running two engines on the same line with no problems. It might be a bit underpowered to run three, but you can add a power pack and run a non-digital engine along with the other 2.

yes you can u can. google a connector that will hook 4 together.4 would only be 60 watts so 1 controller should handle it.Although u should be at least using 2 deep cycle batteries so u can pull a load up to 7 amps.

I have one of these and from what I am readying in the documentation it can but I have no independent confirmation of that. I like the controller, it is really nice but hindsight being 20-20 I would consider using a NCC PowerCab, only about $70 more than this one, and it is much more advanced yet really easy to program. I wish I had bought it instead and may some day but this is a great little starter for DCC.
