- Page 2 • Flickering lights when powered from DC? Check that the DC is really smooth DC and not rough from a crudely rectified AC. Train-Tech offer a low cost capacitor smoothing unit to convert rough DC to smooth DC called SM1 and also Gaugemaster make a good quality 12V regulated and smooth mains power unit ideal for model railway electronics, part No WM4.
- Page 3 • Installing the Ground Signal Firstly, before fitting or connecting your Ground Signal SWITCH OFF ALL POWER! The Ground signal has sensitive electronics which may be permanently damaged if stray wires touch components or connections. Please note that the circuitry under the signal head will run slightly warm - this is normal.
- Page 4 P on the signal. Setup is easy using Train-Tech One Touch DCC; Just choose an accessory address on your controller or PC, press the Learn button on the Crossing and finally send a direction or 1 or 2 command from your controller to set it up (commands vary between controllers - see instructions).
- Page 5 You can reverse the polarity in several ways, but most conveniently using a DPDT (double pole double throw) switch, such as the toggle switch in Train-Tech pack TS1. We recommend connections are made using solid single core wire (bell wire) which simply plugs into the sockets (not stranded wire as stray whiskers of wire can short to other components.).
- Page 6 As well as being controlled by Track Sensor, DC or DCC, your Ground signal can also be controlled by a Train-Tech Mimic Switch. The Mimic Switch is connected to the signal using a single wire and should be powered from the same power supply which can be DC or DCC. For details of how to connect DC or DCC power and to set up the signal style see the relevant page in this manual.
- Page 7 • Automatic control using a Single Track Sensor As well as controlling the Ground Signal manually by a switch or DCC you can also control it automatically using a Track Sensor, so that when a Train approaches the signal changes to show proceed until the train has passed, then after 7 seconds changes back (see the following page to see how to connect an additional track sensor to change the signal back instead of time).
- Page 8 • Automatic control using Two Track Sensors The previous page shows how a Track Sensor can be fitted to change the signal to proceed as the train goes past it, then after fixed time the signal will go back to stop. Instead of the signal changing back a certain amount of time after the train has passed, you can add another Sensor to only change it back when the train passes the second Track Sensor.
