Digital Command Control Optimized Detector (DCCOD)
The DCCOD is specifically designed for DCC equipped railroads. If you already have ODs, you can use them with DCC but using the DCCOD provides a much easier approach. To operate properly, the DCCOD requires a continuous flow of input pulses as supplied by DCC and will not work with straight DC layouts. Its built-in transformer coupling provides total electrical isolation between the DCC track wiring and all signal logic wiring an important advantage for establishing quality, robust and reliable operations. The output of the DCCOD has the same drive capability as the OD along with a built in turn-on and turn-off delay to help alleviate problems resulting from dirty wheels and track. It also incorporates the built-in potentiometer and test LED for adjusting the circuit's sensitivity. If desired, and for applications not utilizing the ODMB or ODMB4, a 5-connection screw terminal strip can be substituted in place of the Molex connector. Like with the OD, a dampened finger placed across the
