Frequently Asked Questions Q. What do you need to get started?
A. The number of signals and detector boards you use depends
on the size and complexity of your layout. The easiest way to
get started is to use the all-in-one pack Type G Single Target
Kit, #236 (HO Scale) #2236 (N Scale). More information is available
in the manual that comes with the signals.
Q. What does the signal control board (SCB) and the block
detector board (BDB) do? A. The signal control board and block
detector board comprise the electronic “brain” of the system.
The block detector senses current flow in the block. Installed
under the table or mounted under your layout, the control and
detector boards are capable of four broad modes of operating
options. They control the input from the block detector board
and output to the signal target head.
Q. How does the stand-alone signal operation work? A. The Red
and Green are controlled by occupancy. The Yellow is the controlled
timed feature in this mode of operation.
Q. Where do I install the signal? A. The signal is normally
placed at the entrance to a block. (A block is any section of
track that is electrically isolated from the rest of the layout.)
Q. How do I add integrated signal operation? A. To add integrated
signal operation of two or more signals, plug in the modular
Atlas Signal Cable - Item #s 230 (7’), 231 (15’) & 232, (25’),
in the length that is appropriate to your block size. Next,
plug the cable into a jack, (RJ-11), on the first signal board
and into the jack, (RJ11), on the other signal board. Jack 3,
(RJ12), is where the signal plugs in.
Q. How does the integrated signal operation work? A. Installation
of the Integrated Signal Cable automatically disengages the
timed Yellow feature of the stand-alone signal. All aspects
are now under full control of the blocks and signals in front
of and behind your train. (See manual for details.)
