REVERSE LOOP
The following diagram shows a reverse loop with a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch. It
allows you to change the polarity of the reverse loop section.
Before a loco crosses the first insulated gap
you must make sure the polarity of reverse
loop section and Main Track are matched at
the first gap. If not flip the switch. Otherwise
it will cause a short circuit. After the loco
passes the first gap completely, you need
to change the polarity of the reverse loop
section by flipping the switch so that the
polarity of the reverse loop section and Main
Track are matched at the second gap. The
MRC Auto Reverse Loop Module (#AD520)
can be used in place of the DPDT switch for
automatic operation of the loop. See your
hobby dealer to purchase this item.
ACCESSORY DECODERS
(Prodigy Advance2 Cab only)
The Prodigy Advance
2
will handle most NMRA compatible accessory decoders. This type
of decoder can operate turnouts (switch tracks) or toggle accessories, like building lights,
on and off from your Cab. The accessory decoder outputs can be programmed for a variety
of options so you can use them for twin-coil switch machines (momentary on), slow-motion
switch machines (constant on or latching), or signal lighting (various flash rates). Refer to your
accessory decoder’s instruction manual for programming procedures and CV values.
Most accessory decoders have their own unique address (CV #513) and some have multiple
outputs (groups of 4). Accessory decoder’s and loco decoder’s addresses are different, so they
can be operated independently of each other (even if the address values are the same).
