Wireless remote shutdown of track power

On my control system I have incorporated a wireless device into my emergency track power shutdown system. For my control system track power can be interrupted without the need to disable my DCS system.

 

The Westek model RFK306LC is a convenient wireless controller that can be used to shutdown power to track and other accessories. The Westek model is a controller that is operated using a wireless remote control pushbutton unit.

 

 

My emergency shutdown system also includes 4 E-Stop control stations mounted around my layout.  Any one of these buttons will also remove track power.

 

 

Westek Model RFK306LC Device Description:

Conveniently control devices via remote control with the Westek Outdoor Wireless Remote Receiver Kit. This receiver kit uses wireless signals to allow you to turn connected electrical lighting and equipment on and off by the simple push of a button up to 80 ft. away. This kit includes a remote control, a plug-in receiver and batteries.

 

Available at Home Depot

Pro hobby,

  Good idea and some of us on the DCS forum section, had a discussion on this very subject a while back, we have been using the Etekcity Remote outlet programmable switches, they come 5 to a package with 2 remotes per pack, by 2 packs and spread the 4 remotes around your layout, all programmed to #1 to use for emergency shut down.   Your idea is very similar and will work well also.
