Good morning everyone. I am beginning to wire the 6924 board(s) and #57 switch controllers. Several questions have come up that I can''t find the answers for,
so I'm looking for some help.
1) I would like to connect the # 57 switch controllers together using the jumpers
supplied with the controller. The Atlas diagram shows connecting both the
upper and lower right hand connections to the upper and lower left hand
connections using the jumpers. In one of Stewart's bullet points it's stated
"Take special note and care when wiring to the #57. Connecting to the
posts with the red X will damage the 6924 n/d board". How would you
connect the #57 controllers to not damage the 6924 n/d board?
2) I would like to daisy chain the power supply for 6924 n/d boards together.
A second bullet point states this requires that the jumper on JP 1 be
installed. I understood that connecting JP 1 activates J3, used for adding
a dwarf signal and that j6 is independent of JP 1. Do I need to install the
jumper to daisy chain the power supplies?
3) In addition to utilizing the non-derail function, I also want to power
the closure rails. The wiring diagrams indicate that J5 is used to
connect the power closure rails and connect to the #57 switch controller.
Can this be done? Do I utilize a separate jack ie: J2? Atlas states that
connecting power to J2 Com 1 when the jumper for JP1 is installed wlil
damage the 6924 n/d board. (See question 2)
Last and most importantly, I want to really thank Stewart for the work on this
post. Your diagram and description have been able to help me understand how
to wire the board and switch controller. Mike
