Provides positive and grounded output connections so it will provide signal required by your signal driver.
Works whether the block track is powered or not.
Occupancy status can be displayed on the control panel so one can watch a train’s progress.
Block occupancy state can be changed from the control panel. This allows cars to be uncoupled on a siding, the locomotive to leave the block and the block to be manually set by the dispatcher to show it is occupied.
Occupancy state is controlled manually by dispatcher or IR sensors.
Only two IR sensors, (one a the entrance and the other on the exit of the block) are required regardless of the length of the block.
Triggering either sensor gives a block occupied signal. The signal does not change until either of the detectors is triggered or the dispatcher manually changes he state.
