Connection of turnouts with turnout lanterns
With some types of turnouts, the turnout lanterns are electrically connected to both the rails
and the turnout drives in order to switch the lanterns together with the turnouts. If you want
to use such turnouts as entry turnouts for the staging yard, you have to electrically disconnect
the turnout lanterns from the turnout drives.
Caution:
Turnout lanterns that are electrically connected to the turnout drives can cause electrical
disturbances and thus endanger the safe operation of the staging yard. These electrical
disturbances can also cause damage to the modules, which in the worst case is irreparable.
4.4. Interconnecting basic and track modules
For the connection of basic and track modules RJ 45 cables are used. In order to connect the
first track module to the basic module you have to insert the cable into the RJ 45 socket
beside terminal strips 3 and 4 (not into the socket beside terminal strips 13 and 14). Connect
further track modules to the previous track module in the same way.
Caution:
Always disconnect the voltage supply for the basic module before inserting or disconnecting
a RJ 45 cable. Otherwise components on the modules possibly are damaged!
Pay attention to not connecting the modules "crosswise" – especially with track modules not
mounted side by side.
