• Cost Effective occupancy detection for 4 detection sections
• Outputs for panel mounted LEDs to display occupancy
• Detects any powered locomotive
• Detects un-powered rolling stock equipped with resistor wheel sets
• Transmits occupancy information to your LocoNet System using DS54 or SE8C (sold separately).
   

BDL168 LocoNet Occupancy Detector for 16 detection sections

The BDL168 provides cost effective occupancy detection for 16 detection sections. For use with one or two RX4 transponder detectors to set up 8 transponding zones and/or operations mode read back. Replaces BDL162.

• Cost effective occupancy detection for 16 detection sections
• Outputs for panel mounted LEDs to display local occupancy & power zone status
• Connect to LocoNet to transmit occupancy information to your LocoNet System
• Detects any powered locomotive
• Detects un-powered rolling stock equipped with resistor wheel sets
• Add one or two RX4 Transponder Receivers (sold separately) and you can have Transponding in 8 zones. This means that you’ll know when a detection section is occupied and the unique id of all transponders in that section.
• Ops Mode Read Back lets you read back CV Values on any section of track that is set up for transponding with BDL168 and one or more RX4s.

The Digitrax Signaling System is organized around the concept of “security elements” which are similar to what U.S. prototype railroads call “plants.” The Digitrax SE8C signal decoder displays aspects for up to 32 heads for 8 individual security elements (plants) using either a LocoNet Throttle or a computer with compatible software. When used with associated occupancy detectors and compatible software, the SE8C can be set up to protect the turnout as shown by the example below. The SE8C decodes switch commands from a throttle or associated software so that the appropriate aspects are displayed on the signal heads.
Each security element is made up of three legs designated A, B, & C. Every piece of track on your layout can be broken down into security elements to describe how each detection section connects to the other sections on your layout.

• Easy to use
• Cost effective control for a single Kato Unitrack turnout or other similar device
• Rated at ½ amp. Great for HO & N Scale
• Small size .319” x .509” x .152” (8.11mm x 12.94mm x 3.88mm

• No frills stationary decoder.
• Simple installation and set up.
• Control 4 slow motion turnout machines from your DCC throttle.
• Quick set up for sequential addresses (like the DS54)
• Independent address set up also available (you can choose any stationary address for each turnout machine)

Features

Simple hook up and set up.
Control 2 individual turnout machines.
2 Slow motion turnout machines, such as Tortoise™ by Circuitron or Switchmaster™.
OR
2 Solenoid type turnout machines such as three wire Peco or Atlas Snap Switches or two wire bi-polar type turnout machines such as Kato Unitrack, AristoCraft, or LGB turnouts with powerful capacitive discharge capability.
Turnout addresses can be set individually or in groups of 2.
Screw terminals make installation easy!
DCC compatible.

 

The DM-1 is an inline adapter designed to modify any DS54 output to provide the bi-polar drive current needed to run reversible DC motors, solenoid switches (like Kato & LGB turnouts), lamps and other similar devices that draw up to 1/2 amp.
Just plug the DM-1 into any DS54 output and the DM-1 socket will provide a bipolar drive rated at 500MA continuous and 1 amp surge

The DS64 Stationary Decoder allows you to install and operate your turnouts directly through any DCC system that has turnout control. The DS64 hasn’t met a turnout it doesn’t like. From Solenoid turnout machines to slow motion motors, this affordable, easy to install decoder will add another dimension to your operations.

Switch inputs for turnout control
LocoNet Control
Integral capacitor discharge.
Operates from track power or a separate booster.
Buffered switch inputs.
DCC compatible.
