4: The same handset (throttle) supplied with

the entry level set is used when the system

is upgraded with Pro Box. Features of the

wireless IR handset include:

A: Alpha numeric key pad.

B: Headlight button.

C: Joystick locomotive power controller –

up/down to increase or reduce speed, left

or right to scroll through the locomotive

stack.

D: Direction button.

E: Emergency stop button and short circuit

cut-out re-set.

F: On-off switch.

G: Locomotive address selection button for

entering a new numeric address.

H: Headlight or running light indicator.

I: Indicator shows the stop feature is

activated.

J: Two visual scales for measuring speed

steps on the large back-lit LCD screen.

K: Lanyard attachment to the base so the

handset can be held the right way up.

5: You will need batteries for the handset!

While the first set of batteries are

supplied with the handset, rechargeable

batteries will be the best solution in the

long term. Should there be a need to

store the system for any period of time,

remove the batteries to save power and

reduce the risk of leakage.

6: The Command Station unit supplied with

the entry point set is the heart of the

system even when a Pro Box is attached.

The ports in the rear are simple: a power

supply and two outputs for track power

bus offering two options for making a

connection to the layout. Note that there is

no separate programming track port – the

track output port becomes the

programming (service) track port when a

Pro Box is added.

7: The IR receiver sits on top of the command

station when set up in entry-level mode.

INTRODUCING THE PRO

BOX EXTENSION PACK

The Pro Box (36-508) is an extension pack

to the entry level Dynamis package (36-

505) that adds many more features to the

system. It enables the use of up to four

wireless throttles at the same time and the

addition of more receivers (36-509) to

improve infrared coverage thus increasing

the system’s functionality dramatically.

The Pro Box package includes the Pro Box

itself that has the same type of casing as the

command station. Both the command

station and Pro Box are labelled on the

casing, so there should be no confusion. The

two plug neatly together, with the

command station on top. Also supplied is an

additional IR Receiver, an IR Extension

module providing four ports into which IR

Receiver cables are plugged. No additional

handsets are supplied with the Pro Box kit,

although they are available separately.

Pro Box provides additional features

including full programming capability that

allows the readout of CV values as well as

programming on a separate, electrically

isolated programming or ‘service’ track.

Advanced programming is also possible on

the main layout track – no longer are the

programming commands ‘broadcast’ so

every decoder will pick them up, but are

targeted to a specific locomotive. Pro Box

provides ECoS compatibility too – there is

an ECoS port in the back of the Pro Box so

ECoS devices can be connected to

Dynamis, an area that needs further

investigation by the author!

Upon starting the system for the first time,

the throttles are synchronised with the Pro

Box as they are switched on so any

locomotive roster originally entered into

the throttle used with the Dynamis system

prior to the upgrade is shared with all

throttles. Synchronisation is automatic and

may take several minutes. The same can

happen if a throttle goes out of range from

the Pro Box and then returns after it has

been deleted from the system. A request

for synchronisation will be made at

reconnection. During synchronisation,

throttles must not be switched off.

The instructions should be read carefully

regarding the setting of handset IDs,

synchronisation and the correct order of

starting up and shutting down. Also supplied

is a simple jumper for setting the system

address, called ‘BaseID’ to avoid conflict

with similar systems should the layout be

used at an exhibition. The BaseID jumper

default setting is zero and does not need to

be changed unless there is another Dynamis

system in use nearby. To change the BaseID,

fit the supplied jumper plug to the 8-pin

terminal on the top of the Pro Box. The

terminal offers four BaseID address options

(0 to 3), three of which are set with

jumpers.

With more than one handset connected to

the system, the process of taking control of

a locomotive being driven by another

operator (also called stealing) is introduced.

A locomotive can be ‘stolen’ simply by

selecting it and operating any one control

or function.

8: The Pro Box is a module built with the

same casing as the command station. There

are two multi pin connectors in the top.

The 8-pin connector on the right is used to

set the BaseID address if the system is used

within range of another Dynamis system.
