It is usually a surprise to many DCC owners to discover that CVP equipment can be used along with their existing DCC system. We actively support and encourage other manufacturers to make their control bus specifications non-proprietary. With this information, we can design compatible equipment which provides you with more options when you expand your system.

In almost all cases, CVP equipment can be used without any changes. Sometimes, a special adapter cable may be needed and it is provided or instructions are included to show how to make one. Illustrated manuals come with each component. If you have any questions about compatibility or want to consider upgrading your system to EASYDCC, please give us a call to discuss your requirements. Upgrading is easy, fast and not as difficult as you might imagine. And you can use much of your existing equipment without any changes. Give us a call and ask us about upgrading your system.

Use the left hand links to go direct to the specific item or see the summary below that shows the most asked about items that are compatible or have been created specifically for other brands of DCC systems.

Lenz Wireless Throttles are the most asked for items when it comes to products for other systems. In cooperation with Lenz, we have created a wireless receiver that is 100% compatible with the Lenz system. With this receiver, all of CVP's popular wireless throttles can be used with the Lenz system without any changes.

ZoneMaster Boosters are extremely popular with layouts having many sound equipped locomotives. The 30 Amp surge rating means a ZoneMaster Booster can provide ample power to a fleet of locomotives without tripping the short circuit sensor. There are several ZoneMaster Boosters from which to choose but each offers the same surge current rating. Setup switches on the front panel provide a simple and convenient means for selecting from the various options.

Power Supplies lists the primary supplies used with ZoneMaster equipment, and other items that require an external low voltage transformer. The 120 Watt power supply needed to power the ZoneMaster booster is described in this section.

ZoneShare offers a convenient and cost effective means for distributing the power of your boosters. The ZoneShare has 4 independent outputs with one having autoreverse. Setup switches on the front panel provide a simple and convenient means for selecting from the various options.

Accessory Decoders are used to control stationary items such as switch machines, and lights. Any device, equipped with an accessory decoder, can be activated and controlled from any throttle and/or, the command station. CVP Products has designed accessory decoders that may be used on all DCC systems.

Document Center has instruction manuals for all of the above items that may be downloaded free of charge.

Ordering Information has the order blank and information for placing your order. CVP sells factory direct to you saving you up to 40%. Your order may be emailed, called in or mailed. There is a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like our products, making your decision easy and risk free. You can't go wrong.

Service and Support from CVP is the envy of other manufacturers. Not only do we understand DCC, we understand how layouts are used. When you go with CVP, you can draw on more than 45 years of model railroad experience.
