I have a rheostatic controller - it may be old but it works well. This is presumably the sort of device Digitrax mean by a "smooth dc controller", but I haven't been able to find much about this on the 'net.

Does anyone know if the specs of the jump inputs are available somewhere?

With respect a "rheostatic" controller is not really what Digitrax probably meant. Eith that or it may just be a compatablility issue between digital & analogue device's.

Probably a case of "suck it & see".

Does anyone know what range of inputs is expected for the jump terminals? e.g. 0V to +/-12V, or 0mA to +/-200mA perhaps.

R.

Agreed regarding the smoothed power supply, but with no or very little load you will get almost the same voltage out as in on the first setting with a rheostat controller. The just could be where the problem lies.
