Hello everyone, I recently installed Atlas O dwarf signals on my layout which uses Atlas O switches. I followed the directions on how to install them however the issue I am having is that the aspect on the signal is staying on green only. When you throw the switch it doesn't change to red as it supposed to. Anyone ever have this issue?

Image or drawing of your wiring?
I don't have that handy at the moment. I went by the directions that atlas gives you in the box. I read something that it may have to do with the atlas switch motor.
As mentioned try a different switch motor. Of the twenty some I installed a few did not work. Some with parallel cross over switch pairs required additional work. Contact Atlas about your problem.
Yes, a wiring diagram would be a big help. You may need to incorporate an additional "ATLAS RELAY" in order to trigger the signal. I am assuming this is one of the dwarf signals that plug into a board that is powered independently from the track wiring. In that case, there should only be one wire from the switch motor that goes to the Din input on the board.
I use the Atlas signals with my DZ2500 switch motors. That motor already has the "green" or "yellow" wire required to trigger the board to make the signal change.
I am going from memory here sitting at work.
