External sensors used to stop the locomotive at the given point are
connected to the points "IN1" and "IN2". See Figure 1 for the
completed connection.
Operation
The circuit activates the output when switched on, and launches
the locomotive on the track in the primary direction (positive
polarity). Once the locomotive has reached the sensor connected
to the points IN1 (see Figure 2), the output is immediately
switched off. When the configured waiting time elapses, the
locomotive on the track is launched in the opposite direction (with
negative polarity). Once the locomotive has reached the sensor
connected to point IN2, the locomotive once again comes to a halt.
When the waiting time elapses, the locomotive is once again
launched with positive polarity.
The "CTRL" contacts are also activated in line with the current
direction set up. These may also be used for example to control
light signals and switches.
Configuration of the delay
The waiting time is configured using the "DELAY" potentiometer in
an analog manner between 1 second and 2 minutes. It is
recommended that the lowest possible waiting time be set up when
testing the correct operation of the sensors (e.g. when the track is
constructed).
Inputs IN1 and IN2
The inputs IN1 and IN2 are galvanically isolated. They are
activated using AC (alternating) or DC (direct) current. This power
may be supplied from any source, be that the rail contacts or the
output of a reflection object sensor. (See Figure 2) The two inputs
must be activated when the terminals are reached. The sensors
must be placed accordingly.
