Information on
the Smart Switch
|
Each
Smart Switch set comprises four point motor Servos and four Mounting
brackets as well as all of the fitting hardware including toggle
switches for local control or if using DC only. A Motherboard and
four function Stationary Decoder is included in sets A003 and A004 (DC/DCC)
but the decoder is not included in A001 and A002 (DC).
All sets include four extension leads and an excellent thirty page
instruction book |

These
unique point motors can be mounted in several ways and either under or
on top of the base-board. They have nine adjustable speeds which
go from a lengthy 20 seconds to a very quick .07 seconds. These
slower speeds give you the opportunity to use them to drive such things
on your layouts as Semaphore signals or opening doors or even raising or
lowering boom gates at you road crossings. ANE will soon have a
new plug in controller to allow this last suggestion to work
automatically. The other very important feature is that the
movement can be adjusted in either direction just in case you happen to
fit the motor slightly off centre and this may mean that one way needs
to go a little further than the other way. Once this is set it
never forgets and if you happen to change your points to another type
then you can alter this setting again. |

There
are two LED lighting outputs for each motor as well so nothing is
forgotten by the manufacturer for the modeller. It is like a one
stop shop in a single box |

The
company have already upgraded the Smart Frog unit which plugs into the
lead connecting the motor to the motherboard and switches the power to
the frog so that you don't have the problem of short circuits to worry
about. The Smart Frog Version 2 can be set up the same as Version
1 but it can also be set up to automatically change the points so that
an oncoming locomotive will not derail and also change the signal lights
like some of the auto reverse modules that are available. The main
advantage with these units are that when using metal wheels on your
wagons as so many of us do these days a timer is activated after the
last set of wheels go over the trigger point and then in ten seconds the
point motor then powers up and goes back to the mainline setting. |
