The Digitrax UR90X is a fascia panel with an infrared receiver built in, so compatible Digitrax throttles can be operated untethered - point the throttle at the panel and keep walking. It also works as an ordinary universal panel, with a front throttle jack, two rear LocoNet jacks for daisy-chaining, and indicator LEDs that tell you at a glance whether LocoNet is alive and whether the receiver is seeing your throttle.

Features
Infrared receiver for cordless operation with compatible Digitrax IR throttles - no cable trailing behind the operator.
One RJ12 throttle jack in the front panel so a tethered throttle can still plug in at the same spot.
Two rear RJ12 LocoNet jacks for daisy-chaining the panel onwards around the layout.
IR and NET indicator LEDs - immediate feedback on whether LocoNet is live and whether the panel is receiving.
All connections plug-detachable, which simplifies hookup, maintenance and fault-finding.
Power sharing charge circuitry for throttles across up to six universal panels (an external 12V supply is required for DT602 and UT6 charging in sleep mode).

FAQ
What is the difference between the UR90X and a plain universal panel?A universal panel such as the UP7 gives you throttle jacks and LocoNet connections. The UR90X adds an infrared receiver, so a compatible IR throttle can be used without plugging in at all.
Which throttles work cordlessly with it?Digitrax throttles with infrared capability. A tethered throttle plugs into the front jack as normal, so the panel is useful either way.
How many do I need?Infrared is line-of-sight, so plan one within sight of each operating position rather than spacing them by distance alone. Around a curve or behind a backdrop, the signal will not reach.
Do I need a separate power supply?Not for normal operation - LocoNet powers the panel. A 12V DC supply is only needed if you want throttle charging to continue while LocoNet is asleep.
