Codar Electronic Control System temporary Instructions b
Alternatively, each point motor Common Return can be wired direct to Terminal "C", but there may be too many wires to fit into the terminal.
In this case a short single length of wire a few inches long can be connected to the Terminal "C" and the point motor returns connected to this.
All wiring to point motors must be as a seperate system and not connected to the track wiring at any point.
POINT MOTOR CONNECTIONS.
TYPE CODAMATIC. Connect as normal, centre tag to Terminal "C" and one outer tag to a Terminal L and the other outer tag to the companion Terminal R of the required number 1-6. Integral switches available for other circuits.
TYPE H & M SM3 Link tags 6 and 7 together and connect to Terminal "C". Connect Tag 1 to a Terminal L and tag 2 to the companion Terminal R of the required number 1-6. The integral switch on Tags 3/4/5 must be disconnected and can be used for other circuits.
TYPE PECO SL70. Connect as normal, the 2 link tags to Terminal "C" and one of the remaining tags to a Terminal L and the other tag to the companion Terminal R of the required number 1-6.
Select required point and road, left or right, and press the ACTIVATE button. The ACTIVATE LEVEL INDICATOR will light up and when the button is released will fade out showing the re-charge action of the pulse system. After the initial charge the light will not light if there is no point motor connected. If point roads are opposite to those required, change the point motor L/R leads over in the terminal blocks.
Do not hold the ACTIVATE button down when selecting a point, only use it after the point has been selected. In the event of a short circuit the light will remain operative and the output current limited automatically to a safe level. Under these conditions do not keep the ACTIVATE button depressed longer than required to check output.
Re-charge time is approx. 1/2 seconds, and although free moving point motors will function before the charge is complete, full power will only be developed when the ACTIVATE LEVEL INDICATOR has gone completely out.
The Capacitor Discharge System is available at Terminals + and C for use with existing point switching. The supply is direct and not controlled by the ACTIVATE button but the ACTIVATE LEVEL INDICATOR will show the pulse action when used.
Check all motors for smooth action, lightly oil moving parts.
CONTROLS
Always leave BRAKES full on (Simulator Control fully clockwise) when Unit is not in use.
With the Simulator Selector switch in the OFF position, Direct Control is obtained, the loco responding directly to the SPEED Control. This feature is useful for precision shunting, positioning etc.
With the SIMULATOR Switch in the ON position and the SIMULATOR Control turned to MAX COAST/BRAKES OFF (fully anti-clockwise) advance the SPEED Control to the required setting. With the loco in motion, reducing the
