How to use:
The SL-TC-17100 Track Contact is easy to use.
- Place sensor inside or on the side of a track tie on a straight or curved section of track using the supplied double stick outdoor adhesive and/or silicon in place.
- Turn the track over and connect to your layout.
- Notice the terminals are identical to the LGB track contacts where AC power is applied to the center contact and the left contact outputs + and the left outputs - voltage as desired to open or close a track or signal motor.
- Connect two track contacts to open and close a switch motor as the train passes each contact. Power is provides by a Shourt Line SL-PS-16AC40 16 VAC 40 Watt Transformer and connected to one pole of the motor and both center connector of the track connector (shown in blue below)
- The right contact of one track contact (the negative output - black wire) and the left contact of the other switch contact (the positive output - red wire) are both connected to the unused pole of the switch motor (shown below). Indoor or outdoor use - water proof sensor..
- Run your trains! As a loco magnet passes each contact, the switch motor opens and closes to provide automation for your layout.
Track, transformer and train not included in this auction.
Connection Schematic:
Make sure to use a 16 Volt AC power source for powering your track and signal motors from track contacts.
The Track Contact has 2 diodes that make the AC input Voltage 1/2 wave Positive or Negative at each of the two outputs shown above. AC or DCC input is required in order to product positive and negative outputs. Power with DC voltage will not work; DC will only produce the same voltage polarity as the input and only at one of the outputs.
