Use with Reed Switches, Push Buttons, etc
Instead of using the traction current to trigger the SAS2-BR, you can use reed
switches, push buttons, etc.
This could allow the modelling of cable cars, lifts, etc, in addition of conventional
model train shuttles.
See diagram below for wiring.
You may wish to experiment with the positioning of the reed switches, and vary the
acceleration setting, to suit your model.
The motor polarity can be set by trial and error.
If reed switches are used for station stops, a switch can be placed at each end of the
platform, with the switches wired in parallel and connected to the S terminal.
Instead of locating reed switches along the centreline of the rails, it may be possible
to offset them to alter the stopping point for the train depending on direction (fixing
magnets to diagonally opposite corners of the train).
