Reply to "DZ-1000 switch machine - wire connections"

For modern switch machine installations I use the standard 66 type connector blocks used in the communications industry. Visit my website www.montanarailpower.com and click on the link for wiring. My library is not complete for all switch motors but is an active work in progress. As time permits wiring diagrams for all the switch motors commonly used in model railroading will be available. Most of the wiring diagrams contain several pages laid out step by step help those not familiar with installing these type connector blocks. You can also reach me with any questions using the contact information on the website. I would also note that a standard installation of Z1000 switch motors and control buttons using one 66 block can handle 16 switch motors. If you use the 4 conductor telephony station wire Red/Green/Yellow/Black the color codes will match the Z1000 motor and control button exactly . This helps keep things neat and orderly . Use the scotch lock connectors to extend wiring from motors and control buttons to the 66 block.
