Will any of this work with a DC only layout? None of the detector systems, not even Atlas, will work with DC.
@azatrax Жыл бұрын
Hi Michael, Because infrared light ("IR") is used for detecting the trains, the signal system is independent of track power. So it works with DC, DCC or AC track power as well as "dead rail" (battery-on-board) where there is no track power.

@@azatraxthank you. The next question is, since my Atlas N scale signals are all common cathode, will your system work with these, or must all the signals be replaced with common anode?
@azatrax 9 ай бұрын
The TS2, TS3 and TS5 circuits automatically adjust to either common anode or common cathode signals, as long as all signals that are connected to a circuit board are of the same polarity.

Can I use this on 3 rail O scale?
@azatrax 2 жыл бұрын
The signal system is not connected to the rails, so it works with three rails, two rails or monorail. You do need a way to tell the system when a turnout is in the diverging position. This is done with an electrical contact linked to the switch machine, or with a latching relay that is wired to the switch machine. www.azatrax.com/latching-relay.html

I have a double cross over so I am looking at the azatrax TS5 for the crossovers..now signals down the line and throughout the rest of the layout on a dual track mainline bi-directional running, I would still use the TS5 controller? I am planning of two dual crossovers in the layout and three other signal locations...Also, I am using Rapido Rail Crew switch machines will these work with the TS5?
@azatrax 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the TS5 will control bi-directional double-track signals at a control point where you have one or more turnouts, and for distant ("intermediate") signals where there are no turnouts. All signals can be linked together. The Railcrew switch machines have the required electrical contacts built in (the blue, white and yellow wires), so no additional components are needed.

Does it work with Switch tracks that aren't a crossover? Like switches that make a siding.
@azatrax 3 жыл бұрын
You can have one or two signaled tracks coming into one end of your control point, and up to three signaled tracks coming in at the other end. You can have one or two crossovers, or none. You can have any number of non-signaled sidings. Several different configurations are shown on this page, www.azatrax.com/control-point-signal-circuit.html Any crossover or branch can be omitted from any of the configurations. It will make no difference to the TS5, it is only aware of a crossover or other turnout when there is a contact closure indicating the turnout is in the 'Reverse' position. Otherwise, the TS5 assumes the routing is for the main. Thanks for asking, hope that helps.

I like this system, but does it work with Kato Unitrack turnouts? Thanks
@azatrax 3 жыл бұрын
Assuming your Kato turnouts are operated by an electric remote, use a latching relay to provide the feedback to the signal system. The relay must be a single coil latching type, such as Azatrax LARY-DCS on this page, www.azatrax.com/latching-relay.html#LARY-DCS The track used on the video is Tomix N scale, very similar to Kato. Sensor installation suggestions are shown here, www.azatrax.com/detector-installation.html

I have this type of "scissors crossover" in my layout. I operate the atlas turnout with servo motors. I want to use this TS5 in my layout. But I am confused with wiring.
@azatrax 3 жыл бұрын
Two on/off electrical switches need to be connected to the TS5 circuit board. One electrical switch for each of the two crossover tracks. These tell the TS5 if a crossover track is in use, or if the turnouts are lined for the main line. Your servo controller may have built-in electrical switches (sometimes called "feedback" switches or contacts), check with the manufacturer if you're not sure. A connection diagram for these switches is shown on the lower part of pg 4 of the TS5 installation guide, www.azatrax.com/install-TS5.pdf

Wonder what my Walthers layout control switch machines are.
@azatrax 4 жыл бұрын
Our D2T circuit is not well suited to servo switch controllers like the Walthers system. Instead, you can use two of our MRD1-V single detector circuits and wire them to the push button inputs on the servo control board. Install the sensor of the first MRD1-V on the main track. Connect its 'QC' terminal to 'COM' on the servo board, and 'Q1' to 'NORM.' (see the Walthers instructions for push button inputs) Install the sensor for the second MRD1-V on the diverging track. Connect the second MRD1-V 'QC' terminal to 'COM' on the servo board, and 'Q1' to 'REV.' Set both MRD1-V detectors for momentary activation. Two MRD1-V detectors cost the same as one D2T circuit. azatrax.com/ir-model-train-detector.html Thanks for watching!

Great Products!! I'm an O guage modeller and used the D2T- DS to activate some MTH crossing signals with sound. Installation was easy, and they signals work flawlessly sensing 2 trains across 2 tracks in 2 directions. It would have been substantially more costly and complex to do this with ANYof the competing I.R. detectors. Customer service was outstanding as well, answering any questions I had via email very quickly. Thanks again!!

@azatrax 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, the infrared (IR) sensor can be used as reflective sensors as shown in the video, or the sensors can be oriented to 'look' across the track. In across-the-track mode, the IR LED (light source) can be as far as 18 inches (46 cm) from its receiver, so it can sense across multiple tracks. This will give you basic operation of the signals. Be aware that if a train on one track is at the sensor and blocking the light beam, that sensor will not notice if a second train arrives on one of the other tracks.

Thank you for the this informative video. I have been looking at your stuff for my N scale layout for quite sometime. I have a DCC outer loop with two trains that I want to automate so that they don't crash with a passing and siding track, as the video showed when friends are over or when I am displaying the setup for my son and his neighborhood friends (quite a few). I have had my fair share of crashes. I have also been looking at your trolley system to add to my newly created point to point back and forth with two parking areas at each end. I've read over all your PDFs and install guides on the web and the stuff is so straight forward and simple. I contacted Digitrax earlier to get their assistance as for creating a "route table" and automation and they were absolutely no help. They recommended JMRI when I told them I wanted no computer near my layout nor do I want to integrate a PC into my layout. I work behind a computer all day for the past 20+ years and the last thing I wanted was to go home and be behind a computer again. Thank you again for this informative video.

I'm glad you enjoy the video. Model train crashes can be embarrassing, but when you let children run the trains a crash can be a learning experience. It teaches them that carelessness has consequences. And if damage occurs, it's an opportunity to learn how to make repairs. With tools! Every child should have a toolbox, with a lesson on how to use each tool as it is added. Thanks for watching, and for your comments.

Azatrax need to add a point to point video so I know exactly how much track I need for the rolling stop in N scale. I still plan on purchasing the point to point for 2 turnouts and 4 end stops. I am going to run atlas code 80 with turnouts and mount the turnout switches underneath so they are not seen. This point to point system will run an as an El in similar fashion as the NYC EL system. I have to custom build the elevated track and subway cars, but it will all be worth it as for I'm more of a railfan guy and not much of a train operator even though I have a yard with 6 tracks. I don't miss the daily grind of working in NYC, but I do miss the architecture and marvel at how everything is built on top of everything.
