1.2 Warranty provisions
All our products carry a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty but please read these user instrucons carefully.
Damage to the product caused by non-observance of this manual will void the warranty.
NOTE! Any warranty is void if the housings of the DR5000 and/or the power supply has been opened.
Please read the following points carefully before using the DR5000.
 Any warranty is void if the housings of the DR5000 or the power supply has been opened.
 The controller has to be switched o at all mes when working on your track.
 Never connect an external power supply or other digital system to the track connector of the DR5000 controller.
 This will damage the internal electronics and void the warranty even if it happens accidentally.
 Never use a “Common Ground” booster in combinaon with the DR5000 controller.
 Only use opcally insulated boosters and LocoNet accessories in combinaon with the DR5000 “TRACK OUTPUT” to prevent damage to the controller or
peripheral equipment. When in doubt about your peripheral equipment you can always enquire at your dealer or Digikeijs.
 Always use ocial and approved cabling to prevent short circuits and damage.
 Using another DC power supply is permied provided the voltage is between 15 volts and a maximum of 20 volts and also has CE approval. Ask your deal-
er for more informaon.
 Use the DR5000 in a dry and dust-free environment.

2.1 General product informaon
The DR5000 is a universal DCC controller suitable for virtually all variees of connecons that are currently available. The controller can deal with LocoNet and
XpressNet equipment and through Wi-Fi and also with mobile handhelds. Through a LAN, Wi-Fi connecon or a USB connecon it can be connected to a PC
whereby you can choose the LocoNet or ExpressNet protocol. So any supporng soware, such as iTrain, Koploper, Windigipet, Train controller and RocRail can
communicate with this controller. Peripheral equipment such as the Roco Mulmaus, the Lenz LH01, the Daisy (wired or wireless) and other LocoNet or Xpress-
Net compable equipment can be connected and used simultaneously.
The maximum power of the DR5000 controller is 3 amps. If you need more power please use a booster with an H bridge connector, such as the DR5033. Older
boosters with a so-called Common ground connector (e.g. Märklin®) are not suitable and lead to short circuing or permanent damage.

2.4 Track voltage and power
Track voltage
As standard the DR5000 comes with a 19 volts switched and reced power supply with a power of at least 3.5 amps. Using another reced power supply is
possible provided this has a minimum voltage of 15 volts/DC and maximum voltage of 20 volts/DC.
The actual track voltage always deviates 1 to 1.5 volts downwards from the voltage that is connected to the voltage input of the DR5000.
So for the standard supplied 19 volts power supply, the nal track voltage is 17.5 volts.
It is not possible to set the track voltage using the hardware or the soware.
Maximum power
The maximum power that the DR5000 can deliver is 3 amps.
This power is set using the soware through the conguraon soware.
Click on the POWER menu aer which you can enter a maximum for power in
the sengs screen.

3.1 Introducon
To communicate with the DR5000 through the conguraon soware or a train control program, a USB connecon with the PC is required. (The following
chapters describe how it can be done through Wi-Fi or LAN). To achieve this, you need the accompanying USB cable with a mini connector, a so-called USB A to
USB mini cable.
3.2 Downloading soware
Do not connect the DR5000 yet, rst install the soware that can be
downloaded from the DIGIKEIJS website.

Important!
Only connect the DR5000 aer the installaon of the Soware and
Drivers was successful.
3.3 Soware installaon
Aer you have successfully downloaded the soware it is important to unpack the downloaded le rst and save it to your hard drive.
Then start the installaon by double clicking on “setup” or “setup.exe”.
Ensure that you always have administrator rights on your PC.

Aer a few seconds the following screen appears. Click on “Next”.
If you want to change the locaon where the soware is installed you can do so in the following screen. If there is no need it is best to leave the sengs as they
are and click “Next”.

Below you will nd an overview of the sengs. Click on “install” if you agree.
Now the conguraon soware is installed, Windows will ask you a few mes if you trust the soware from Digikeijs.
Once this has been done, the last screen appears. Press “Finish” and the drivers and the conguraon program will now be installed.

3.4 Connecng the DR5000
On the desktop an icon will appear by which the conguraon soware can be started. Don’t do this yet.
First connect to the DR5000 with the supplied USB cable.
Windows will “detect” the new hardware and install the drivers. Wait unl this process is completed and you get a message from Windows that the hardware is
properly installed.
Now connect the DR5000 to your PC with the USB cable.
Windows will now assign and reserve 3 COM ports.
(the numbering of the COM ports depends on your personal PC conguraon)
In the le hand image COM7 - COM9 are used.
COM7 is the communicaon port used for LocoNet.
COM8 is the communicaon port used for XpressNet.
COM9 is the communicaon port used to connect the conguraon soware with the
DR5000 hardware. The conguraon soware will automacally detect the right COM
port.
Aer the rst start your Firewall will ask or the conguraon soware can access your
network. Answer Yes.

3.6 Restoring the factory sengs
It is possible to restore the sengs of the DR5000 to the factory sengs.
Through the USB menu in the conguraon soware you can acvate the Reset whereby the sengs of the DR5000 are
restored to factory sengs
NOTE! Restoring the factory sengs has no eect on the LAN and Wi-Fi sengs.
3.61 Restoring LAN and Wi-Fi sengs
From rmware version 1.0.1 it is possible to restore the sengs of the built-in LAN and Wi
-Fi module through the soware. You can acvate this reset by opening the Wi-Fi sengs
menu in the conguraon soware.
NOTE! This opon is only available aer soware and rmware version 1.0.1

3.7 Updang soware and rmware
The development of the DR5000 soware is connuing process. With rmware updates you can equip the controller with the latest soware. The conguraon
soware automacally checks for new versions at start-up or when online. New rmware is built-into the conguraon tool. So rst you have to install the lat-
est version of the conguraon soware before the rmware update becomes available.
Roadmap
1) First remove your current installaon of the conguraon soware.
2) Download the preferred version from our website.
3) Install the conguraon soware.
4) Connect the DR5000 with the USB cable.
5) Open the conguraon soware.
6) Go to the USB2.0 menu.
7) Use the ‘’UPDATE DR5000” buon to acvate the rmware update
IMPORTANT! Do not disconnect the DR5000 when updang the
rmware. This may cause the DR5000 to become unusable.
NOTE! Updang the DR5000 always means that the sengs are
put back to the factory sengs.
