HGE-41 Drawings Wiring the HGE-41 This section will cover the wiring of the Alternater. A power source of 12 to 24 volts is required to operate the unit. Any standard power source and the used. A standard DC throttle is needed to operate the train. This DC throttle will control the speed which the train moves. The Alternater will reverse the train at the end of a section of track. Select the section of track where the Alternater will control the train and at each end of this track gap one rail. See the drawing below to better understand how to wire the track. Connect the throttle to the terminals of the Alternater and then wire from that Alternater to the track. Attach the power source to the board and and adjust the pots for the timing desired. Install the diodes as shown on the drawings. If the engine moves off the end of the track in either direction reverse the connections of that diode at that end of the track. Drawing A:
Once all wiring has been connected you can now begin to adjust the trim pots until the desired timing sequence has been achieved. At each powering of the unit allow a couple of sequence before the timing settles. Drawing B shows how to install the HGE41-Alternater in a section of trackage which can also be used for normal operation. By installing a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switch in to the wiring circuit trains can now operate in the reversing section normally without the automatic reversing of the train. For this section to operate the power controlling the board is turned off and the DPDT switch to track is changed and normal train operation can be conducted . Drawing B:
Wiring for a Station Stop These instructions and drawings are to supplement instructions included with the unit. For the station stop the throttle will be used to control the train around the track. The control wiring will be the same as if the unit was being used for a reversing device. The H connection is the common point of the contacts, the G connection is the Normally closed point. When the Unit is not powered the train will continue to move through the station without stopping. By connecting the wiring in this manner the unit can have dual uses . In a relay the common connection is the point contacts which moves between the normally open then to the normally closed positions. The jumper wires on the component side of the board need to be cut. These jumper wires were for the reversing unit installation. The distance of the station stop gap to rail should be long enough so the engine will have time to stop. After the sequence of the unit power is restored to the gap section of track adjust the trim pots so the engine and will have power long enough to moved out of the stop block. But adjust the second trim pot so the power to the stop block stays off until the engine makes the loop through the track. If the train takes longer to transverse the loop then the timing the engine may stop at random sequence. And then you can adjust the timing to suit your needs. More Examples For 3 Rail AC throttles
