6. Connecting it to the tracks
In this paragraph we show you how to wire the ECoSDetector
module to the tracks. In the figures the ECoSDetector module is
shown; wiring the ECoSDetector Standard is identical. However,
on the ECoSDetector Standard there are no jumpers.
6.1. Common contacts
As feedback inputs configured as common inputs you may con-
nect all contacts that switch the input to the common conductor
(often this is the “brown“digital feeder). Thus you can switch eit-
her against the terminal marked as “0” or against the terminal 0
(brown) at the track.
6.1.1. Jumpers
The ECoSDetector has a jumper for each feedback input for confi-
guring the input either as common contact or as current sensor.
6.1.2. 3-rail track system (contact track section)
Figure 2 shows how to wire a contact track in a 3-rail system.
• Wire the inputs „0“and „B“of the ECoSDetector with the approp-
riate booster output. In example 2 both feedback groups “A” and
“B” are supplied from the same booster. Therefore the terminals
“0” and “B” on both sides of the ECoSDetector must be connec-
ted with each other. If you use a separate booster for the inputs of
group “B” (feedback inputs 9 through 16) the ECoSDetector has
to be wired as described in chapter 6.4.
• Connect the insulated sector of the track to be monitored to one
of the input terminals “1” to “16” of the ECoSDetector module.

If you wish to use the input as common contact place the corres-
ponding jumper to the outer position “3L”. In figure 1 all inputs
are configured as common contacts. But, of course, you may con-
figure each input individually.
