I am jumping on this discussion (sorry), which by the way I use Gargraves Track and Ross switches. This is for Alex (Ingenerio No.1) or anyone else that understands relay switches: I could use some advice. A while ago I purchased some Geeetech 6 Channel relay switches to control 24 segments on my railroad. I am wiring for DCS and conventional (mostly postwar engines). The relays did not come with instructions and I cannot find any instructions on line that are either complete or that I can understand. I am posting a picture of the relay and the description of the leads. I have played with different combinations of wiring it but to no avail. What I have done:
1) Brought in 5 vdc to the board via UCC and GND (Ground). LED light lite up indicating board had power
2) Wired the power from transformer into NC (normally closed) and out to track via COM - did not work as it was always on
2) Switched the power wires to NO and Com - always on; and NO and NC which did nothing
3) Did not know how to put an On/Off switch into the wiring, I realize that Input 1 is part of it but where do I wire the ground? I tried a common ground with the 5 vdc wires but that did not work.
So, I am stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am going to leave the same message in the electrical forum. Thanks....
