8. Connecting the RCD-2

Separating the controlled track sections
The track sections (maximum 2) controlled by the RCD-2, have to be
separated from the remaining tracks. For that purpose

one conductor with 2-rail systems or

the middle conductor with 3-rail systems
has to be cut through at both ends of the track section. When
connecting several rail sections to RailCom detectors be sure to always
cut the same conductor.
Attention: If you don't cut the same conductor in layouts
!
controlled by several RailCom detectors, a short circuit is going to
occur as soon as the cut-off point is traversed. Normally, the layout
will be switched off automatically in these cases.
Connecting the RCD-2
There are terminal strips soldered to the modules´connecting points
which allow you to insert and screw the connecting cables. Follow the
connection diagram fig. 3.
Connecting the booster and the track sections
Mount the RCD-2 into the feed line from the booster to the track
sections. Check the right assignment to the continuous and the
interrupted conductors.
U1 Track connection of the booster | continuous conductor (earth)
U2 Track connection of the booster | interrupted conductor
S1 Track section 1 | interrupted conductor
S2 Track section 2 | interrupted conductor
