Zimo STACO2A, StayAlive controller with Next18 interface

StayAlive controller with Next18 interface

STACO2 is designed to equip a model with a Next-18 interface and an energy storage device. A Next-18 decoder can then be plugged onto the STACO2 like an adapter board, which then outputs the decoder connections via 13 soldered wires.

Dimensions: 14 x 10.4 x 2 mm

The StayAlive controllers may only be operated with a maximum of 18 V rail voltage!

2 mini gold caps are connected to the StayAlive controller via wires; This means that all parts (decoder, STACO, gold caps) are spatially distributed - in contrast to a massive "power pack". The board transforms the voltage of the gold caps (a total of 5.2 V for 2 gold caps; when fully charged, this drops to around 2 V over time) to 10 V, which is sufficient for the decoder's backup power supply in the event of wheel-rail contact interruptions (for drive and sound without loss of volume) and does not cause any interference, e.g. in service mode.
