Started wiring turnouts. I have two types of turnout machines on the layout - Ross and Atlas O so have both DZ-1000 and Atlas O switch machines. I have all switch machines connected to momentary toggle switches (center connected to track ground). All switch machines must be connected to track ground to make the non-derail function work for the DZ-1000 motors.
Right now I am wiring the switch machine with DZ-1011R detectors (electrical tape over sensor) and Atlas O 200 snap relays. The switch motor controls the position of the snap relay which controls the red/green position of the DZ-1011R's. While the LEDs on the Ross motors are momentary the DZ-1011R lights are 'constant on' so they indicate which position the turnout is in.
The diagrams below show the wiring schematic for this set up.
Above is the overview of needed connections
Above shows interconnections to European style terminals under the layout. The snap relay will also be under the table.
This diagram is for controlling two switches whose position will always be in tandem. Only one relay and detector are needed.
