English KSM-3
Designing a layout with the KSM-3
The rails in the loop´s inside between the two sectioning points have to
be at least as long as the longest train to pass the terminal loop.
The circuit also works properly when there are several trains within the
loop at the same time provided that there are not two locomotives
passing the sectioning points simultaneously. This allows branching rails
within in terminal loop, for example.
The maximum current of all vehicles in the loop is 8 A (including motor
current of the locomotive, carriage lighting, other accessories).
Use with a turntable
With turntables different polarities possibly meet at the transitions
between bridge and the other parts of the layout after turning the
bridge. The KSM-3 can solve this problem. For that purpose you have to
connect the bridge like the loop´s inside.
