Has anyone out there used Atlas' Signal Interlock control module and Lionel Fastrack switches.  The instructions that come with the module have wiring diagrams for Atlas Switches, and Tortoise Switch motors.  But no diagram for Lionel Fastrack Switches.

Atlas manual:

https://download.atlasrr.com/pdf/ICMSignalManual.pdf

I figured it would be the "Twin Coil Type Motor"

Red would go to "Out" Black to "GND" and Green to "Thru"

Ive got a double head signal hooked up (signals 2 and 3 below) but no signals 1 or 1A

All I get is a Red over Red signal with no change when I change the points.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Steve,

             I got it figured out,  Looks like you need to use this config below with a slight tweak.

Just substitute the Tortoise with a Lionel Fastrack Switch

Hook the Black wire to Terminal 2 on the Atlas SICM (Signal Interlock Control Module) and the "GND" on the Switch.  Then the Red wire to Terminal 1 on the Atlas SICM and the "RSC Lights" terminal on the switch.  Finally, make sure JP1 is open on the Atlas SICM.  Works perfect now.  When the Switch is in the Thru Position, the upper Signal shows Green and Lower, Red.  When the switch is thrown to the Diverging path (Out), The Lower signal goes green, and the upper Red.
