MULTIPLE Track Setups:
SINGLE DIRECTION TRACKS -
The crossing signals may be used with multiple tracks. Usually this requires additional
DZ-1011 Block Signals. However, if each track is only used for trains traveling in a single direction, then the two block signals
provided may be used as shown in FIGURE 2. Each block signal is wired to it’s own TRIGGER input. In this case, one is wired
to the YELLOW input and one to the WHITE input.
BI-DIRECTIONAL TRACKS -
For the case where both tracks
have trains that could be
approaching the crossing from
either direction, you will want to
purchase additional DZ-1011
Block Signal Detectors and
position them as shown in
FIGURE 3. The wiring of the
Crossing Gates / Signals is as
before, but each pair of block
signals is wired to one of the
TRIGGER inputs. The block
signals on TRACK 1 are wired to
the WHITE TRIGGER input and
the block signals on TRACK 2 are
wired to the YELLOW TRIGGER
input.
ISOLATED RAIL usage:
The crossing signals may be used with isolated COMMON rails to control the units. Be sure to connect the COMMON of the
power of the crossing signals to the TRACK COMMON. The isolated rail is connected to the BLUE wire.
If a train is detected by the block signal and stops before it enters the crossing, after 6-8 seconds the operation would stop and
not continue until the train breaks the light beam in the middle of the crossing. But, with the isolated rail, the operation would
continue as soon as the train contacts the isolated rail.
