Wiring the outputs
If, on the other hand, signals or lighting with LEDs are used (as
shown in Figure 8, Output 6), a series resistor must be used to
limit the current. The resistance value depends to a large extent
on the type of LED used, so no precise statement is possible here.
Values between 1 kOhm and 10 kOhm are common. If in doubt,
start with a higher value.
The terminal C of the output is the „+” pole. Therefore, the catho-
de of the LED must be connected to the terminals Out A or Out B.
5.4.3. Uncoupling tracks
The momentary action mode is suitable for uncoupling tracks, as
the coil will be active only until the button is released. The wiring
is as shown in Fig. 8, Terminal 8. You can use either Terminal Out A
or Out B, depending on whether you want to activate the uncoup-
ler with the „diverging” or „straight” turnout button.
5.5. Connecting the SwitchPilot Extension
Up to two SwitchPilot Extension Modules can be docked to the
side of the SwitchPilot 3 Plus. To do this, press the modules with
the 8-pin plugs against each other until the latches on the plugs
engage. The internal logic and the relay coils of the SwitchPilot
Extension Module are also supplied by the SwitchPilot 3 Plus.
The SwitchPilot Extension module on the left is responsible for
outputs 1 to 4, the SwitchPilot Extension module on the right is
responsible for outputs 5 to 8.
