AE Model AED-SST.3 2-Wire Stay Alive with Plug-and-Play Connector – 3 Pack
Keep your locomotives running smoothly and reliably with the AE Model 2-Wire Stay Alive 3 Pack – a compact, high-performance solution designed to improve DCC operation, prevent stalling and resolve intermittent Bluetooth connectivity issues with Hornby HM7000 decoders caused by power interruptions.
This great-value pack contains three complete Stay Alive units, ideal for upgrading multiple locomotives.
Designed for use with AE Model DCC decoders, each AED-SST features a convenient plug-and-play connector for quick and straightforward installation. They are also compatible with Hornby TXS (HM7000) decoders, providing an excellent alternative to the Hornby R7377 / HM7070 Stay Alive units.
Smoother, More Reliable Running
Even the best-maintained layouts can experience occasional interruptions in electrical pickup, particularly when locomotives travel over points, crossings or sections of track with imperfect electrical contact.
The AED-SST stores electrical energy while the locomotive is running and releases it during brief interruptions in track power, helping to maintain smooth, consistent operation.
With three units included, this pack is ideal for improving the reliability of several locomotives across your fleet.
Improved Hornby HM7000 Bluetooth Connectivity
Experiencing intermittent Bluetooth disconnections with your Hornby HM7000 decoders? The AED-SST could be the solution.
One of the common causes of Bluetooth connectivity problems with HM7000 decoders is momentary power loss caused by imperfect electrical pickup. Even a brief interruption can cause the decoder to lose power, resulting in lost Bluetooth connections, interrupted sound or unresponsive locomotive controls.
By providing a continuous supply of stored energy during these brief interruptions, the AED-SST helps prevent the decoder from resetting and can resolve intermittent Bluetooth disconnections caused by power pickup issues.
This makes it a particularly worthwhile upgrade for Hornby HM7000 users looking for more dependable Bluetooth operation, smoother running and uninterrupted sound.
