Switches
In place of sensors switches can be used. For example a micro switch for turnout position or a
danger override toggle switch. This will allow you to set danger on a signal and if coupled to the ABC
braking system, automatically stop and hold a loco.
Diverging route hook-up
One additional connection is required. Connect the NEXT2 to the PREV with a single wire. When a
green signal is detected on this input and the feather is set, the diverging route logic will be
displayed automatically.
The diverging route is available in “4 ASP” and “3 ASP” modes and is automatically enabled when a
separate chain of AutoSignals is connected via the “NEXT2” connector.
When the feather is active the signal at the diverging route will show an initial steady yellow as the
train approaches the signal. After six seconds this will change to green if the next signal on the
diverging route is green.
Signals before the feather indication will show a flashing yellow and flashing double yellow to
indicate a diverging route is active.
The AutoSignal with the feather installed should have at least one subsequent AutoSignal
downstream if the divergent feature is used.
