Operating the switch in conventional mode

Y
ou may operate the switch using the controller or the illuminated switch lamp on the
roadbed. Refer to Figure 2.
To operate the switch using the controller, power up the track, then pull the lever to
the opposite position. Gently press the lever past the end of its path. The lights inside the
controller will change colors to designate the change in switch positions. The red lights
designate the curved path. The green lights designate the straight path.
Track power must be on to operate the switch using the controller.
Note!
To operate the switch using the switch lamp, simply rotate the switch lamp. The new
position of the colored lenses on the lamp designate the change in switch positions.
Note!
This switch is equipped with a non-derailing feature. The train's wheels
automatically throw the blades to the proper position when the train travels toward
the converging track. If you experience difficulties, simply use the controller or
switch lamp to throw the switch into the correct position for the train to travel.
