SIMPLE-SHUTTLE

  
       
Products/Index New Products Prices & Sales Home
      The SIMPLE-SHUTTLE is for use where the train is to run backwards and forwards slowly, so acceleration and braking are not required (see SA1 if you require acceleration, braking and adjustable waiting). The SIMPLE-SHUTTLE provides infra red train detection and control of the direction and stopping of the train. Also required are; one IRDOT-1 or one reed switch to provide detection at the other end of the line, a controller (the unit will work with both feedback and non feedback types) to provide power to the track and a 12-16volts supply either AC or DC.  
       
       
     
     
      The SIMPLE-SHUTTLE is positioned at one end of the line and the IRDOT-1 or reed switch at the other. When the train is detected power will be switched off from the line, stopping the train. There will be a variable pause, adjustable between 10 and 120 seconds, after which the train will move off in the opposite direction.

      The SIMPLE-SHUTTLE and IRDOT-1 can be powered from 12 to 16 volts AC or DC.

      Train detected LED: The SIMPLE-SHUTTLE  is fitted with a train detection LED. The long leg of the LED goes to the "R" terminal and the short leg to the "C" terminal. This LED may be wired to a control panel.  
       
         
      Sidings: By having one or more sidings, two or more trains can run alternately along the line.  
       
       
       
       
     
     
       
       
      The sidings are located at the other end of the line to the SIMPLE-SHUTTLE. At the end of every siding an IRDOT-P is used. The IRDOT-P does two jobs. Its "R" terminals are wired so that an arriving train causes the points to change to the next siding. Secondly, every IRDOT-Ps "P" terminal is wired to the "RR" terminal of the SIMPLE-SHUTTLE so the SIMPLE-SHUTTLE knows when a train has arrived at the siding.
