Multi-Timer English
locomotive in the connected rail section. In conjunction with the PWM it
is set to control the locomtoive´s movement within the rail section.
The length of time for braking, stopping and starting and the supply
voltage when starting has to be set via trim-pots. The maximum time to
be set for stopping is 4,5 minutes, you can reduce or prolong it via a
switch as required. The maximum time for braking and starting is 12
seconds. The supply voltage when starting can be set so that the
locomotive in fact starts without delay, but at a low rate. The maximum
supply voltage is not applied before the end of the starting time.
It is possible to set either a low or a high PWM for the connected rail
section by corresponding setting of the jumpers. The PWM is the rate
controlling the locomotive´s motor. Whether a low or a high PWM is
more suitable, depends on the individual characteristics of the motor.
 low PWM: higher motor output, but loud and possibly disturbed
engine running;
 high PWM: lower motor output, but quiet and smooth engine
running.
Sequence:
Via a switch connected to switching input 1, the signal is set to "stop"
(switching input closed) or to "clear" (switching input open).
Semaphore signals are to be switched directly, light signals can be
switched via bistable relays as well. It is also possible to do without
connecting signals, the outputs 1 and 2 stay then open.
The switching input 2 is used to release the braking, as soon as the
locomotive passes a contact at the beginning of the braking track and
thus the contacts of the switching input are closed. Here a reed contact
or a hall sensor in combination with a magnet or a photoelectric barrier
can be used.
Depending on the signal position (= switching input 1 closed or open),
the locomotive will brake and stop or drive on. The signal´s change to
"clear" is carried out either
