Reply to "Relays for Track Power using AIU"

OK, I misunderstood.  I thought you had 2 FRM01's (one per siding).  To be clear, are those diodes shown in the yellow boxes under the black heat shrink?  And they are oriented with the white or silver stripe/band on the bottom side as illustrated?

I believe the FRM01 has a power-on LED that lights whenever power is applied...and a different relay-on LED that turns on when the relay clicks on.  I assume that once you turn on the first siding (whether it be siding A or siding B), the FRM01 power-on LED turns on and stays on even after the relay clicks on then off.  Right?  

In other words, the FRM01 is performing the Delay-OFF function once and only once for the first siding.  Then the FRM01 is now on and does not "re-trigger" its Delay-OFF function for the second (third, fourth, etc.) siding.  This is the classic re-trigger conundrum.  As shown in this earlier diagram, if using the FRM01 "Function 02", there is one timer module PER SIDING.  So in your 2 siding test setup, that would be 2 FRM01's set to Function 02.

Separately, do you have a "stash" of assorted capacitors lying around?  Just thinking ahead for possible work-arounds...
