Sensor Placements on Track

The suggested sensor placement on track is shown below with the train magnet installed
in the center of the train.  Best sensing is done with the magnet passing over the tip of
the sensor.

Sensor Placement for identifying a train.

Sensor placement for HO EZ track is under the roadbed.

Offset the train’s magnet
to the same side as the
sensor as shown.

For example,
passenger trains have the magnet offset to the right and freight trains
have the magnet offset to the left side.

Other scale trains can place the sensors where appropriate. Very small sensors are available
which do not have the waterproof housing. These can be used for N, HO, etc. Contact
RR Concepts for these sensors.

Your StationMaster is warranted, and guaranteed operational for 1 year.
It will be repaired or replaced at no charge within that time period.
Contact
