Unpack the DS64 and mount it in a location with easy access to the
turnouts you want to control.
Connect the DS64’s ‘TRKA’ and ‘TRKB’ terminals to your track.
If you are using LocoNet, connect one end of an RJ12 cable to either
of the DS64’s LocoNet sockets and connect the other end of the cable
to your existing LocoNet network.
Wire your turnouts to the DS64 using the Figure below as your guide.
That’s it! Your DS64’s default turnout addresses are 01, 02, 03 and 04.
Using any DCC throttle, you can now operate your turnouts.
