Using
Cobalt
D
Alpha
& Cobalt-S Levers
Cobalt-S Levers bring a touch of “Traditional Signal-box” operation to your model railway
while Cobalt
D
Alpha adds the magic of digital technology to greatly reduce wiring
... So a combina-
tion of these two great products gives the best of both worlds, resulting in a realistic “Feel”
for layout control needing only ONE cable to connect all those wires to the layout!
We show only SIX
Levers here, but one
Cobalt
D
Alpha
will accept TWELVE
The Cobalt
D
Alpha
operation only uses
the momentary contact
sets, so you still have
2x free SPDT switches
available for your
panel
LEDs or Interlocking!
INTERLOCKING LEVER OPERATIONS
It is easier than it sounds....To interlock two levers, just link the momentary
contacts of one lever VIA one of the sets of SPDT contacts on another lever,
so that the momentary “Change command” for the lever to be “locked” will be
sent ONLY if the “Locking lever” is in the Correct position.
This works well with Cobalt-S as the On-On SPDT contacts are changed
when the lever reaches around 75% throw and the momentary SPDT only
changes at the extreme end of the throw, guaranteeing that the combined
2-lever operations work reliably.
No matter how you wire The Cobalt-S levers, utilising Cobalt
D
Alpha in the
control panel will mean at least 36 less wires between panel and layout!
