Title: Powering EZ-Track Turnouts
Post by: PHENICUS on March 31, 2008, 03:28:05 PM
With EZ-Track Turnouts do you power the turnout with DC Accessory or AC Accessory feed?

Dear Pots,
Use the  AC terminals.
Have fun!

Mr. Bachmann,
Since we are talking Turnouts,.....

Will my EZ-Command system "Switch" these turnouts?  I do not see any documentation on this, with my system paperwork...?

Have I missed something, in the translation?

Thanks for the help.......

E-Z easy command control switches that are DCC Turnouts   like 'left No. 44130'

Eight per command controller.

I am having fun with DCC  = waiting for the DCC uncoupler car.

rolling into the 21 century

HOTrainlover i believe you need to get a separate power supply to power accessories :( The EZ Commander is not set up for accessories.

The remote turnouts will not work with the EZ Command.  They used the green wired switches that you would hide under the layout and bring to the front.  There are very expensive DCC turnouts that you can control with your Command.

To power the remote turnouts you need an AC output like you get on regular DC powered controllers.  They usually have one AC output for this purpose.  You can pick up one very cheaply.
