UP5 Assembly and Hook-up
5.10.1 Hooking up the UP/UR's Track Status Indicators (Optional)
The figure below shows how to hook up your UP panel on your layout.
Instructions are also included below for hooking up the
TRACK STATUS
indi-
cator. This is an optional feature and the UPs will work just fine even if you
do not hook up the
TRACK STATUS
indicator to the local track section.
The UP5’s, UR90’s, UR91’s and UR92’s
TRACK STATUS
Indicators are bi-
color LEDs that show the status of the local track section to which it is
attached.
If you are using track detection, do not hook up
TRACk STATUS
indicators.
To hook up the
TRACK STATUS
indicator follow these steps:
1. Attach an 18-26AWG wire to one of the screw terminals on the back of the
UP/UR and connect the other end to either rail.
2. Attach another 18-26AWG wire to the other screw terminal on the UP/UR
and connect it to the other rail of the track.
