The PSX series is a product of Larry Maier’s 10 years experience in designing
and producing intelligent, solid state, DCC circuit breakers and auto reversers.
Patent pending. The PSX specifically addresses the increased inrush loads
(currents) which occur due to large capacitors used for sound systems. This load
appears as a system short circuit until the capacitors are charged. The logic in
the new PSXs determines if the load is a true short or just an inrush overload.

Actually, Ralph, the AR1 is really little more than a glorified set of
switches that are activated by a mechanical relay. If you really, really want
to get the bullet-proof fix, consider the combination short-circuit/ reversing
gizmo … called the PSX-AR, I think. Because the short circuit and reversing
functions are integrated in a single chip, you don’t have to worry about
timing considerations between independent devices which themselves can react
differently depending on loads, conditions, phases of the moon and how many
old Archie comic books are in the atttic. You don’t really need to think about
anything at all other than what placement of gaps makes the most sense for you
operationally. Hook it up, run trains and have a nice day. If something gets
wacky, the device will flip-flop polarity for awhile and then finally give up
and shut the whole shootin’ match down. No mechanical relays -all
electronics.”
