The 10-amp power Booster is recommended for O, G, and other large scales ONLY. The PB-110A can provide 10 Amps of continuous power to your track—enough to handle the MUs of the largest locomotives.
The correct power supply for the PB110a is the 18vac 10 amp Brutus transformer.
Go here for Brutus: https://ncedcc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200552529-Brutus-10-amp-18-VAC-output-120-VAC-input-Transformer.
This is only for use with the PH-Pro 10amp System or the PB110a 10amp Booster.
The 4-pin plug on the front should be Red, Orange, Black, and Gray from left to right. Pins 1 and 2 are grouped together to provide the needed current capacity, and 3 and 4 are also grouped together. The photo shows the pre-wired 4-pin plug with the 18VAC /10 amp Brutus. The factory set to 18v PWM DCC is out, but it can be adjusted from the rear of the box. You need 6 volts of in/out headroom when using a DC Power Supply. However, The PB110a is limited to a 22V PWM track output for NMRA DCC conformance. You can use up to a 32VDC input if needed.
Example: A 24VDC Supply will give you 18V PWM on the rails at full load.
The maximum input voltage to your PH-10 or PH-10R is 22V AC / 32V DC. Voltages above this will ultimately destroy your booster, resulting in an expensive repair charge. The recommended Power Supply is the Brutus 10 amp supply, part number 5240241

We recommend following the instructions below to connect your system to a small test track first.
After your system is checked out entirely and known to be working, consider the final installation locations for components and connections to the track.
TRYING OUT YOUR PH-10:
#1 Disconnect the existing power supplies from your layout.
#2. Connect one end of the long (7-foot) coiled cable from the cab to the CS03 CAB BUS socket and plug the other end into the Pro Cab.
#3 We supply a twelve-inch and a seven-foot four-wire flat cable for the CONTROL BUS. Use the short or long cable, depending on where you mount the CS03 and the PB110A. Plug one end of the cable into the CS02 CONTROL BUS socket. The other end of this cable plugs into one of the PB110A CONTROL BUS sockets. This connects the “Command Station” portion of the Power Pro to the “Power Booster” portion.
#4 If in place, pull the 4-pin plug from its socket on the face of the Power Pro. Connect your power source to the screw terminals marked POWER. Your power source must have a voltage within the range of 16-22 volts AC. Note the differences between the CS03 power and the PB110A power wiring. Do not exceed these voltages. Note: The power wiring to the PB110 and the CS03 Command Station are DIFFERENT. If not wired correctly, severe damage and a costly repair may occur.
