HELIOS English
Please note: As a rule, you have to perform the dividing points
very carefully. When bridging a dividing point (e.g. by shifting rails or
by metal shavings), HELIOS cannot control the shuttle service
properly. This can e.g. cause locomotive collisions!
In general, the following applies for all cut-offs:

2-rail systems according to NEM 631 (= standard), where the right
rail in direction of travel is positive: With these layouts you have to
cut-off the left rail in direction of travel to define a new section.

2-rail systems not according to NEM 631 (= special case, e.g. LGB),
where the left rail in direction of travel is positive: With these layouts
you have to cut-off the right rail in direction of travel to define a new
section.

3-rail systems: With these layouts you have to cut-off the middle
conductor to define a new section.
Dividing points 4 - 11 at the intermediate stops
The distance between the dividing points for the intermediate stops has
to be sufficiently long for a train with all it´s currents consumers.
Otherwise, malfunction of the shuttle service possibly occurs when
oncoming trains pass each other at the intermediate halts.
Please note: At both intermediate halts you must always cut-
off both rails at both ends, and with 3-rail systems additionally the
middle conductor. Otherwise operation will be disturbed massively!
Dividing points 1 and 2, 13 and 14 at the terminus stations
You have to perform these dividing points only, when not using stop
points. The sections between these intermediate stops and the end of
the rails has to be as long as the train intended to stop there.
