ASP1NS BLOCK SIGNALLING COLOUR LIGHT SIGNAL CONTROLLER NON~SOLDER.
Controlling multi-aspect signals on model railways has never been easier
Detects trains passing signals using its in-built infra-red sensor
Operates from 8V to 25V DC, 8V to 16V AC, or uses DCC as a power feed and feeds signals at 12V
Fades leds in and out to simulate incandescent bulbs
Very simple to connect up to signals
No soldering required, all components are ready wired-up
No programming required (but you can adjust all settings if you wish)
We love model railways with light signals.
You can operate them from toggle switches when you only have a couple of aspects to operate,
but when it comes signals with more aspects the wiring can become complex.
We were keen to provide a solution that would add some simple automation to 2-, 3-
or 4-aspect signals, without the need for soldering, programming or making any additional connections.
The power feed connects to two terminals, with up to 5 wires from the signal
connecting to the remaining terminals (the ground terminal has two wires connected,the signal common and ground).
You can power the module from 8V-25V DC, 12V to 16V AC, or from a DCC feed.
The module reduces the supply voltage down to 12V to feed the signals.
External resistors are not required, as these are built into the module.
Simply drill an 8mm hole through the baseboard between the sleepers and insert the sensor from below
(the sensor only needs a 2mm gap to see between the sleepers so there should be no problems with N gauge).
Invisible infra-red light is projected upwards and any trains passing overhead will trigger the circuit and will operate the signal automatically.
You can test this by waving your hand over the sensor, and the signal should operate.
Power Supply
The module will operate reliably with a power supply in the range of 8V to 25V DC,or 12V to 16V AC, or a DCC feed from the track for example.
When connecting a DC supply, connect the negative to the GND terminal and the positive to the Vin terminal.
If the connections are accidentally reversed, the module will not function, but no damage will result.
When connecting AC or DCC, the connections can be made either way around.
PLEASE NOTE COLOUR LIGHT SIGNAL NOT INCLUDED.
