LocoNet Occupancy Detector

Module for 3-Rail operation

The module provides sixteen inputs each

of which is used to monitor one track section.

One rail of each sector must be insulated

from the rest of the layout and connected to

the detector input. A vehicle will trigger an

occupancy message by bridging the sector's

rails with its non-insulated wheelsets. All

inputs may also be shortened to ground by

a reed-contact ora manual switch to likewise

generate the message.

A change of state caused by a vehicle entering

or leaving that section wilf be refayed

by a LocoNet message to the master or

other LocoNet devices, e.g. IB-Switch.
