Operation 

 

Once programmed, as described below, simply select the required servo 

end position, 

Set

 or 

Reset

 using the operating  switch. The servo will 

move to the opposite programmed position, at the programmed rotation 
speed. 

 

If a bounce level is programmed for the current direction of travel then, as 

soon as the programmed end position is reached the servo will reverse to 
the bounce position at the same speed, reverse again and finally return to 

the programmed end position at the same speed. This feature may be 
used to realistically simulate bounce at end of travel of semaphore signal 
arms or crossing gates and barriers. If you do not require bounce in either 

direction of travel, program the relevant bounce level to zero bounce. 

 

Once  the servo has reached its programmed end position, and after a 
further 1 second delay, the sense output will switch to the opposite state. 
For 

Set

, the output will switch from +5V to 0V and, for 

Reset

, from 0V to 

+5V. If this output is connected to the switch input of another servo 
controlled switch, the second unit will start a 

Set

 or 

Reset

 operation on 

completion of the same operation of the first unit. 

 

Once the servo started has started moving towards either the 

Set

 or 

Reset

 positions it can not be stopped or reversed until it has completed its 

programmed travel, as described in 

3

 and, optionally,  a further 

ten

 

seconds have elapsed [See below].  

 

Note that, in 

normal

 operation, the LED indicator will be 

off

, unless the 

optional 10 second delay referred to in 

4

 is enabled. In this case, the LED 

will illuminate continuously during this period. Otherwise, the LED is used 

in programming mode only.
