This is a new concept,
designed by LocoTronics and
its features
are
completely unique.
A
Power
electronics automatic SOFT
stop/start control system.
This electronic module
works with the Colour
Light Signal
controller module, if either the signalman control is set to red,
or the
block is occupied, then
this module is activated.
As the train approached
the Red signal a train detector ( IR or Flash Frequency ) detects the train,
then triggers the soft stop electronics.
The train will slow to
a gentle stop. The locomotive
braking rate,
and travel distance is
programmable within the module.
Should the signal be green,
then the locomotive will proceed normally
at a speed that is adjustable
within this module.
An additional option is
incorporated, whereby the locomotive
can be stopped ( instant
) at a precise stop point, by means of an additional train detector.
This module is effectively
a self contained electronic loco controller.
It requires a 12 to 16
volt ( a.c. or D.C. up to 1.5 amps) power input.
It has full, very fast
electronic ( less than 50 microseconds ) short
circuit protection, and
overload protection. This will prevent damage
to wiring, locomotives,
and other electrical and electronic equipment.
