Description

The BDL168 is a cost effective LocoNet Occupancy Detector for 16 detection sections.
Lets you know when detection sections of your layout are occupied.
When used in conjunction with one or two RX4 transponder detectors it operates up to 8 transponding zones and operations mode read back.
Know what is where on your layout!
BDL History: BDL16 was released in 2000 and was replaced by BDL162 in 2002. An update kit was available from BDL16 to BDL162. BDL162 was replaced by BDL168 in 2004. No update kit was offered because the circuit board was completely re-engineered.

BDL168 Features:

Occupancy detection for 16 sections
Outputs for LEDs to indicate local detection section occupancy and zone power status on a panel mount display
3 Amp capacity per detection section
Transits Occupancy information over LocoNet
Supports SuperSonic decoder operations
Detects any powered locomotive
Detects any un-powered rolling stock equipped with resistor wheel sets
Plug 'N Play with Digitrax DCC
Configurable with most other DCC systems
Automatically checks layout status when used in conjunction with a computer
Improved Rail Sync Sampling for reliable operation
Transponding with the addition of one or two RX4 allows for 8 transponding sections
Transponding decoders are detected by the RX4s and the information is fed back to LocoNet
Transponding allows you to read back CV values of decoders equipped with transponders

Note: External power supply is needed. PS14 (sold separately) or equivalent is recommended. Multiple BDL16 series detectors can be powered from the same power supply as long as 100mA is provided for each BDL16 series detector.

Product review & video

okay so welcome back and today we're going to be wiring up the BDO one six eight now being reading through the manual here and the manuals pretty good it tells you everything you need to know to get it going so let's make our way over the table now and see what's been happening so let's take a closer look at the video or one six eight now and what this can do for you is and give you 16 inputs for block detection you can give you sixteen outputs for LEDs and on this side he can give you eight inputs for transponding so to get this working what I'm going to need to do is first I'm gonna wire up the power so I have two power wires coming in here and I just need to run them to the correct pins now I did wire up this on a previous video there next thing I need to do is run another wire from pin 11 or here to the booster ground now on this layout that will be the DC s-51 I'm gonna need to get
