Additional Speaker Wire
SurroundTraxx comes with a wire harness that includes 6’ sections of
speaker wire for each sound channel output. If your layout requires more
wire you can add additional wire to the end of the harness.
BDL-168 Block Detectors
To achieve the effect of sound traveling with your train as it traverses your
layout, you must use Digitrax BDL-162 or BDL-168 block detectors. One
BDL-168 will provide detection for eight blocks. Therefore, if your layout
has more than eight blocks, you will need more than one BDL-168. When
setting up your BDL-168(s) for use with SurroundTraxx, the blocks should
be arranged in sequence such as 0,2,4,6,8,10,12 per the Digitrax BDL-168
instructions. If you only plan on using single channel mode the BDL-168 is
not required.
Digitrax RX-4s
Digitrax RX-4s are required in conjunction with BDL-168s. Each RX-4
supplies four blocks on your layout. If you have eight blocks you will need
two RX-4s for your layout.
