Connection to the NMRA DCC digital system
Please see Figure 1 (Page 7), bottom right:
Connect the terminals J, K with the track output of the digital
system. In the Digital plus by Lenz
®
system the track output is
also marked with J and K.
Connecting twin-coil switch machines
Please see Figure 1 (Page 7), top left:
Twin-coil switch machines have three connections. The common
connection of the two coils (2) is connected to terminal 'C'. The
cable of coil 1 (1) is connected to terminal '+'; the cable of coil 2
(3) to terminal '-'.
Depending on the switch machine used, when the output '+' is
activated this results in the switch is set to the ’branch’ or for
“straight”. If the action is opposite to what you desire, simply swap
the connections at the terminals '+' and '-'.
The following table contains common colour coding of some
manufacturers, with reference to the numbering of the cables in
Figure 1. Please use the operating manual of the drive used to
verify whether cable colours have been changed!
Cable no.: 1 2 3
ROCO red black green
Arnold blue grey purple
Fleischmann beige black brown
Trix yellow black green
Märklin blue yellow blue
Viessmann semaphore signal green brown red
When using twin-coil switch machines without auto-shutoff,
extending the pulse duration (see Section "Setting individual
addresses and pulse duration") beyond the factory default setting
is only necessary if the drive does not throw the turnout
completely despite functioning properly. Keep in mind that an
extension of the pulse duration can lead to the switch machine
warming up and is set excessively long, a twin-coil switch machine
can be damaged.
