Reversing Loops
Sensor connections
Sensors Hookup:
Attach #7 and #9 to the SWITCH RED sensor in the left loop.
Attach #8 and #9 to the SWITCH GREEN sensor in the right loop.
When the sensors are hit by a magnet the turnouts should fire as shown. The colors on the drawing represent the
turnout directions when the YardMaster shows these colors. These sensors can be simulated by
pressing the RED and GREEN buttons on the YardMaster. Swap the wires in the turnouts as necessary to make
this happen.
Notice that the sensors must be 100% reliable or a short circuit will occur. For some commercial applications it
is sometimes wise to place 2 sensors in parallel at each switching location slightly offset so that the second sensor will
be hit if the first is missed for some reason.
