Smallest DCC Keep Alive (N Scale) – Voltscooter Engineering

These are the smallest DCC Keep Live boards made. They offer the best options for improving operations of N Scale locomotives. These do not provide the level of Keep Alive that can be installed in larger locomotives.

Smallest DCC Keep Alive foot prints
- 470uF model is 9.5mm W x 6.6mm L x 3.6mm H
  - Can be trimmed with diagonal cutters to 8.3mm W x 5.9mm L
    - .33″ x .27″ x .15″
- 840uF model is 9.5mm W x 9mm L x 5.5mm H
  - Can be trimmed with diagonal cutters to 9mm W x 9mm L
    - .36″ x .33″ x .22″
Expandable by easily adding parallel external capacitors
Easy to program when installed. Will program like a normal decoder when connected to a Lok Programmer, or a Soundtraxx PCB-100 Booster (Page Mode)
14V maximum track voltage
- Over voltage protected
For best results the 470uF should be used with an external 470uF capacitor for a total capacitance of 940uF
These do not provide the level of Keep Alive that can be installed in larger locomotives. It does provide enough Keep Alive to take you across joints a minor track dirt.
