Ross switches and Z-stuff

Not exactly sure what you are asking, but the DZ-1000's will also operate a Ross switch (one or the other switch machine, not both at the same time). I am not familiar with the DZ-2500's so the wiring may be slightly different between the two?

 

I think Ross gives you the option of either switch machine when you order a switch with switch a machine.

I interpret the question as: Is it possible to change over from a DZ-1000 to a DZ 2500 switch machine to control the same model of Ross switch? If that is the question the answer is that either can be successfully used.

rtr12 and Dennis are correct; Ross sells the same switch with either the DZ1000 or DZ2500 switch machine, so they are interchangeable.

That is precisely the information I needed.  Thank you all for your quick answers.

The difference:

DZ 2500 switch motors can be TMCC controlled.  Slow motion movement.

DZ 1000's are pushbutton control only. Snap motion movement. 

Bob, I trust the folks here to give accurate information.  I also like to check the vendor when I can.  Here's a link to Ross' website.  You can go to the price list and see the "no switch machine" switch, and the DZ1000 and DZ2500 RossReady options:

thanks to you both.

You have to change the spring as well, but the spring you need should be in the bag with the new machine.

Slight correction. DZ1000's can be controlled by a Cab 1 or 2 with the use of a DZ-2000 switch machine controller. They operate flawlessly for me.
