I'm looking to upgrade to DCC and would like to know if the Digitrax Zephyr DCS52 system is compatible with EZ Track and if anyone can provide detail on hooking it up to the track. Do I need to splice the wires as it has a different connector type? Here's the product pg: https://www.digitrax.com/media/apps/products/command-stations-boosters/dcs52/documents/Zephyr_Express_Manual_rev.0.pdf

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks

The Zephyr uses screw connectors for bare wires. The simplest way would be to clip the power pack end off an extra power connector you already have. If you don't have an extra, you can use one of these:

Clip one side of each 'U' connector off, put the remaining leg in the Zephyr screw terminal.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
