Page 7: Intended Use
Any other use is not in accordance with the intended use and will result in the loss of the warranty claim. Intended use also includes reading, understanding and following all parts of the instructions. The staging yard control HADES is not intended to be used by children under the age of 14. -
Page 8: Your Staging Yard Control Hades
3 A. HADES has a connection for an external on/off switch that switches to ground. As long as this switch is closed, it is impossible to trigger a train exit from one of the sidings. This makes it possible, for example, to integrate the staging yard controlled by HADES into a block station control. -
Page 9: Concept Of A Staging Yard With Hades
HADES 2.3. Concept of a staging yard with HADES Number of sidings The number of sidings in the staging yard is at least 2 and at most 32. An uneven number of sidings in the staging yard is possible. For this purpose, a jumper is attached to the last track module and this track module is thus configured for the monitoring of a single siding track. -
Page 10: Modes Of Operation
Entry and exit turnouts HADES sets the turnouts at the access to the sidings according to the operating principle of push-buttons. Turnouts with double coil drive can be directly connected as entry turnouts. In order to control motor-run or servo-driven turnouts you need additional control devices (see chapter 1 "Accessories"). -
Page 11: Procedure
If vehicles have been manually removed from a siding or parked there in the switched-off state, HADES sets the entry turnouts according to the current occupancy status. Phase 1 The entry turnouts of all free sidings are switched to "branch" (into the siding). An arriving train therefore enters the first free siding (seen in the direction of travel). - Page 12 the departure of the next train is possible, HADES defines a track occupancy signal from the track in question as a "fault" (due to a current consuming carriage probably having been torn off), the entry turnout is set to "branch" into the siding.
-
Page 13: Operation Elements And Displays
In addition to the exit push-buttons and busy occupancy LEDs on the modules, external buttons and LEDs can be connected. These buttons and LEDs can be built into a track diagram control panel, for example. Your staging yard control HADES | 13... -
Page 14: Malfunction
failure of a track module HADES stops the operation as soon as a fault is detected. Faults are displayed at LEDs on the modules (→ section 5.2). When a voltage failure occurs, all as-is states (occupancy signals, positions of turnouts) are "frozen", in order to restart operation with the present settings as soon as the track voltage is... -

HADES 3. Setting-up the staging yard 3.1. Sidings Number of sidings The number of sidings in the staging yard is 2 to 32. The basic module and the track modules can monitor and control 2 sidings each. If you need an odd number of sidings, you can configure the last track module to monitor and control only one track section. -
Page 16: Turnouts
HADES tams elektronik 3.2. Turnouts You can use the following as entry turnouts: coil-driven turnouts: without any additional components motor-run turnouts: in combination with adapter AMW-1 or AMW plus servo-driven turnouts: in combination with additional modules controlling servos (e.g. servo decoder SD-32). -

HADES 4.3. Connecting the entry turnouts Odd number of sidings If there is an odd number of sidings in the staging yard, the last track module will be configured to monitor and control only one siding (see section 4.2.). Connections 5 and 7 (siding 2 of the relevant track module) as well as 9, 11 and 13 (entry switch 2 of the relevant track module) will then remain free. -

HADES tams elektronik Connection of turnouts with turnout lanterns With some types of turnouts, the turnout lanterns are electrically connected to both the rails and the turnout drives in order to switch the lanterns together with the turnouts. If you want to use such turnouts as entry turnouts for the staging yard, you have to electrically disconnect the turnout lanterns from the turnout drives. -

HADES 4.5. Connecting an external on/off switch The basic module has a connection for an external switch or an external control module working according to the principle of switches (terminal strips 15 and 16). This allows, for example, to integrate the staging yard into a block-control management. - Page 24 HADES tams elektronik Connection of external exit push-buttons Use push buttons that close the circuit when actuated (1 x normally open contact) and return to the initial position after being actuated again.

Page 25: Setting Up A Stopping Section At The Entrance To The Staging Yard
Instead of installing a transit track, you can set a stopping section at the entrance to the staging yard, where a train must stop when all sidings are fully occupied. To configure HADES accordingly, you must plug a short-circuit connector (jumper) onto the marked pin headers on the basic module. - Page 26 HADES tams elektronik Use of a signal with integrated track influence If you are using a signal that has track influence built in, connect the signal directly to terminals 9, 11 and 13 of the track module. Connect the track in the...

Page 28: Malfunctions And Fault Messages
Remaining of a wagon in the siding HADES detects a fault if a vehicle (with current consumption) is still in the siding after the set departure time (→ section 5.3.) has elapsed. If the fault is not due to a wagon that has broken off, you must adjust the departure time (→... -
Page 29: Setting The Departure Time
While a train is still departing from a siding, track section A is already switched currentless or HADES detects an error (due to a supposed torn off carriage). In this case you have to prolong the departure time. ... -
Page 30: Checklist For Troubleshooting And Error Correction
Possible cause: The departure time has been set too short. → Prolong the departure time. After having eliminated the error, you have to restart HADES. The LEDs on the basic module normally showing the set operation mode, display a sequential light. -
