The 

BLUE

 wires of both crossing signals should be connected together. When power is applied, unless the two units have 

been positioned as shown below, the lights will start to flash, the units will operate and the bell will sound. This is because the 
light SENSOR on the DZ-1012 / 1022 / 1032 SLAVE needs to receive a signal from the IR LED on the DZ-1010 / 1020 / 1030 
MASTER. The IR LED is on the back, top of the electrical box on the MASTER unit. If units are aligned as shown below, the 
RED indicator lights will go out after a 6-8 second delay, the signal lights will stop flashing and the gates will go up. Breaking 
the light beam from the IR LED to the SENSOR by your hand or a train car will trigger the units to operate. They will continue 
to operate as long as the beam is blocked. It is also possible to activate the units by connecting the 

BLUE,

 the 

YELLOW

 or 

the 

WHITE

 wires to 

COMMON

. The DZ-1011 Block Signal Detectors operate this way. The 

BLUE

 wire will 

HOLD 

the gates 

down and cause the LED(s) to flash. The 

YELLOW

 and 

WHITE

 wires will only 

TRIGGER

 the operation and the LED(s) to 

flash, but after 6-8 seconds the operation will stop even if the wires remain connected to 

COMMON

. This is so trains, which 

are detected but do not enter the crossing, will not cause the continuous operation of the signals.  

The two units can be 

separated by

 about 

14 inches

 
DZ-1011 Installation: 

The DZ-1011 Block 
Signal Detectors add a 
wonderful touch of 
realism to your layout 
and they provide early 
detection of trains 
approaching the 
crossing. You may place 
them as far up and down 
the tracks as you like. As 
shown above, they sense 
the passing train on only 
one side. Placing them 
about ½ inch from the 
edge of the track tie 
should provide reliable 
detection of all your 
engines and rolling stock. The GREEN LED will switch to RED as the train passes and return to GREEN about 2-3 seconds 
after it is gone. The wire functions of the DZ-1011 are shown in TABLE 1. Connect the RED wire to 12-14VAC and the BLACK 
wire to COMMON. The WHITE wire should be connected to either the WHITE or YELLOW wires of the DZ-1010 or DZ-1012. 
Since the DZ-1010 and DZ-1012 
are connected together by the 
BLUE wires, it is only necessary to 
connect to one of the units. By 
connecting the two DZ-1011 
WHITE wires together, when one 
changes, the other will also 
change to indicate that the track is 
occupied.  
 
The Block Signal Detectors may 
also be used separately to detect 
trains or just as signals. If the 
WHITE wire is connected to 
COMMON, the GREEN LED will 
go out and the RED LED will light.
