Keep Alive® Decoder Compatibility With TCS Decoders:
TCS Keep Alive® (KA) devices are designed to operate with all TCS (or any other Keep Alive® ready) decoders. Decoders with a corresponding socket can be used with the KA4-P. This will be detailed in the decoder literature if the decoder has the socket.
!!!WARNING!!! Decoders with a “-KAC” suffix have a non-polarized 2-Pin Connector for attaching the KA(x)-C. The KA4-P is NOT compatible with this style of plug-in Keep Alive® interface.
Keep Alive® Decoder Compatibility With Non-TCS Decoders:
If you would like to attach a Keep Alive® unit to a non-TCS decoder, you need to connect the wires across the output of the bridge rectifier on the decoder. You will need to consult your decoder manufacturer for a schematic or wiring diagram.
