1 piece easy to use solution
For trackside usage next to the track
Sound Module Activation when the train
passes
Below shows basic connections for activating
a sound module. Since there are 2 sets of
relay contacts, you can also activate crossbucks,
a gate, or any other event with
the other set of contacts.
LED Activation
You can light up an LED at any location you want to indicate where the train is.
Activate Grade Crossing
Below shows basic connections for activating a grade crossing
crossbucks. Since there are 2 sets of relay contacts, You can also
activate a grade crossing bell, such the ITTC HQ300 with the other
set of contacts or any other event. For a simple grade
crossing you can use 1 DT-1 right at the grade crossing. If you
want more prototypical grade crossing, you can put a DT-1 on each
side of the track some distance from the actual crossing. This will be more
accurate. You would then parallel all the wires from 1 DT-1 to another.
Auto Reversing the easy way
When the train comes to the DT-1 it will
be sensed, and energize the relay reversing
the power to the track sending the train in the
opposite direction. It will continue to run in the
opposite direction for the period of time set on
the timer adjust. When it times out, the relay will
de-energize and the power to the track will
reverse again sending the train back to the DT-1.
