Yes, I was hoping it would still work on DC like the control switches which say something very similar on Page 8 of that manual. I run them on DC power.
However, based on my limited research and based on the AC power ratings it wants to make the magnet work, I think the uncoupler will require AC power from an accessory terminal (given most other things want the AC on the track up to 18volts). So maybe I'll be switching to AC power next year (I could still run my plug and play accessories on DC power I think. I assume by switching the accessory track to aux power it will use the DC only for the accessory jacks and remain isolated from the track).
The biggest problem I have with AC and maybe that's because I don't know better...is what happens when I switch everything off? Do I have to adjust the transformer to the correct voltage each and every time I start up? Or does it remember its last setting?
