Changing crossovers to dz machines

Check out the z stuff website at www.zstuffexpress.com. They have a wiring diagram for exactly what you're doing. Look under applications for the diagram. Very helpful site.

Thanks for the replies.   Thwe removal and replacement of the O22 switches with Ross/dz 1000 switches has been a challenge. at this point I have the four switches wired as two crossovers.  Initially, the first pair I wired threw in different directions Evan though the green/red/yellow wires were wired together.  I spoke with Dennis Zander and was told that the one DZ1000 I have that has screw terminals was a problem.  Not having any guide, I wired the pins on the 1008 relay to the screw terminals on the DZ1000 with the relay wires on top.  WRONG!!  That is upside down and created the problem with the switches throwing in opposite directions.  It also kept indicator lights I have above the layout from being controlled by the relay.  I also found out from Dennis that the recommendation on his website to place a resistor in the green and yellow wires between the switch motor and the SCII is only necessary to make the Direction LEDs on the switch machine stay on constantly.  Since my crossovers are under a mountain, I don't need the resistors.  Only remaining task is to run the yellow and green crossover wires to the thru and out connections of the SCII port for each switch/crossover and a. Separate single wire from the center tap on each port to my layout common ground.  I know this is long, but I hope my experience will be of value to others in similar situations.

Hit a dead stop.  The SC2 shows no power lite when the DZ is connected red to constant voltage, green to thru SC2 connector, yellow to SC2 out connector,

center SC2 connector to layout common bus.  I have checked the SC fuse, no problem.

  My understanding is that one switch must be wired to position 1 on the SC2 to provide power for the SC2.  At this point, I have only a single DZ1000 wired to the SC2 for testing.  All connections for constant power, common and switch directional

wires and sc2 connections are thru a terminal strip.

   I noticed that The Lionel video shows all test connections being made thru position

3 on the SC2 with no other connections evident.  The demonstrator in the video

mentioned that position 3 is most convenient but that any position would work.

Anybody have any ideas why I can't get a power lite?

Apparently you didn't notice in the video that the SC-2's green light was lit before Mike connected anything.  The wallwart cable is connected to the backside of the SC-2 and running over to the edge of the table.

I thought we had determined that you needed to use the wallwart several days ago on the phone!

Mission completed!   Thanks to a very long conversation with Dale, the DZ crossovers are operating perfectly, powered by the wallwart.  I had found a work around by wiring one Lionel O22 to position one on the SC. I was then able to use DZ switches for the remaining switch positions.  A pain. but workable.  At Dale's recommendation, I got rid of the O and ,using the wallwart, was able to operate DZs in any of the 6 connectors on the SC2.  Does NOT, as I had previously heard, require a switch in position 1, nor was it necessary to cut any traces on the SC2.

  Also spent a lot of time miss wiring the dzs for non derailing.  Was trying to wire both out and thru, but only needed wire on thru side. 

   Thanks loads to Dale and all who offered advice.  On to the next project!
