Connecting your Mainline Color Position Signal to a
153IR Controller
T
he 153IR Controller (available separately, 6-14111) is designed as an alternative to the
153C Contactor. While the 153C Contactor relies on the weight of the train to activate the
signal, the 153IR Controller is triggered by an Infrared motion sensor. The 153IR Controller
also allows you to set the length of time that the accessory remains on. Connect the accessory to
the 153IR Controller as shown in Figure 4 below. Consult the 153IR Controller’s instructions for
more information.
