 Case Study: PUTRA Operating the Kelana Jaya Rail Line (Part 4 of 5)
The layout uses twenty-eight turnouts on the mainline and an additional eleven turnouts in the yard. Each turnout is powered by a Tortoise slow motion turnout motor. Each of the twenty-eight mainline turnouts has three dwarf signals associated with it. The aspects of the signals are shown belo ...
- Case Study: PUTRA Computer Operation of the Kelana Jaya Rail Line Model (Part 5 of 5)
The Kelana Jaya Rail Line model layout uses WinLok 2.1 running on a PC under Windows 98 to operate the trains, turnouts, signals and to use the feedback from the block detectors for train control. This equipment was configured and programmed to PUTRA's specifications by Dr. Hans R. Tanner of Di ...
- BDL168 - Troubleshooting Checklist
Here are several things to check if you are having trouble with the BDL168: Packet Reception Be sure the green ID LED is ON & is “winking” off about every 2 seconds. This means that correctly formatted DCC packets are being decoded from the left most (Railsync) pin of the RJ1 ...
- BDL168 - LT5 Tester
Each BDL168 comes with an LT5 that will help you with layout wiring and troubleshooting for transponding & detection. The LT5 plugs onto the LED header connections of BDL168 and the LEDs on the LT5 light when detection sections are occupied. The status of power to each zone is also shown. ...
- BD4 - Connecting to an SE8C
Connecting BD4 to an SE8C? The BD4 is a block occupancy detection device designed as an add-on device that can take advantage of the LocoNet hosting capability of the SE8c signal decoder. It is connected this way: The installation of a BD4 is relatively simple. Looking at the BD4, you will f ...
- BDL168 use with SE8C?
Q:
- BDL168, PM42 & SE8C Recommended Wiring Procedure For 44 Pin Connector
Do you have a recommend wiring procedure for the 44-pin edge connector on the PM42 and SE8C? PM42, PM4, BDL168, BDL16, BDL162 & SE8C use a 44-pin edge connector. Connecting wires securely to this connector requires soldering skills. For connections to the 44 pin connector, Digitrax recomm ...
- Aux Hi & Aux Lo on Signal Mast Base
The 10-Pin Signal Mast Bases that are part of SMBK and used as test signals with the SE8C have two connections marked Aux Hi and Aux Lo (Pins 2 & 9). These connections are not currently implemented and are reserved for future use.
- SE8C - Installing Position Light Style Signals For Pennsylvania RR, B&O and N&W Signaling
The SE8C can drive position light type signals such as those used by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the B&O RR and the N&W RR. Leads from the signals can be soldered directly to the pads on the Signal Mast Base (the Terminal Strip Mounting Kit can also be used for interfacing your sig ...
- SE8C - Voltage Output
My signals are supplied with current limiting resistors and require 12v max to operate. What are the voltage outputs from the SE8C and does this differ depending on the supply (15V AC or 12V DC). The output voltage is 5 volts, regardless of the input power. It is powerful enough to drive LED's ...
- SE8C - Yellow Signal Indication with Bi-Polar LED
I would like to use a Tomar Searchlight Signal such as model # 858. It has three color LED for each head. The SE8C manual shows the wiring example for bi-color LED signals. Is the SE8C able to control the three color LED signals as well? The bi-pole LED's can be used to produce a yellow "Appro ...
- SE8C - Initial Setup & Testing
We recommend testing your new SE8C prior to installation on your layout. The following testing procedures will help familiarize you with the general operation of the SE8C. No track power is required for testing, but you will need a working LocoNet connection and throttle or PC running DCC con ...
- TSMK - Terminal Strip Mounting Kit
The TSMK, Terminal Strip Mounting Kit, includes 2 terminal strip boards with resistors for easy installation. The Digitrax Terminal Strip Mounting Kit makes it simple to connect any scale or model signal to the Digitrax signaling system without soldering. Simply connect the wires from the sign ...
- Powder River Signaling Example
I am now constructing an N-Scale layout with Digitrax DCC system. I know SE8C and two-heads signal mast supplied by your company are applicable for a entry signal mast for the both of main and siding (branch) lines. However, I don't know how the signal mast is used in the case of "more than two" ...
- SE8C Board Layout
Individual signal heads are driven from connections marked DRV1 - DRV8. Although these are typically connections to individual signals, they can serve more than one signal as necessary. The ID Button is used to set the individual SE8C board ID. If using more than one such circuit board, each ...
- Introduction to the Digitrax SE8C Signaling
Security Elements The Digitrax Signaling System is organized around the concept of what we call "security elements", which are similar to what U.S. prototype railroads call "plants" or "interlockings". The Digitrax SE8C signal decoder displays aspects for up to 32 heads for 8 individual securit ...
- SE8C Signal Controller Address Ranges for Signals and Other LocoNet Devices
The SE8C uses switch addresses to operate the signals, so you may need to change some factory settings to make it work in conjunction with turnouts that are already installed on your layout. Be sure that when you configure the SE8C that the switch address ranges you select to operate the signals ...
- SE8C Signal Controller Cable Pin Out
The individual signal heads are connected to the SE8C with 10 conductor ribbon cables. Depending upon which way you assemble the ribbon cables, Pin 1 can be either the brown colored conductor (called Phase A) or the black colored conductor (called Phase B). To maintain your sanity it seems easie ...
- SE8C - Can you operate more than one slow motion turnout from one output?
Q: Can the SE8C slow motion turnout controllers operate multiple turnouts from one output? A: No. The slow motion connection was originally intended to be used with single slow motion drives for semaphores, part of the overall design of the SE8C signal driver. Since only one semaphore is oper ...
- Layout Signaling - A Simple Example
Model railroad layout signaling is just as complicated as real railroad signaling. This is an example of how signaling might work on a small oval layout. Once you understand how the signals work together in a simple setting, you will be better equipped to tackle signaling on your layout. The l ...
