Reply to "DZ trackside sensor and “We Honest” signal"

Hi everyone,  I am hoping to use a DZ-1070 trackside sensor to operate a two aspect signal from E-bay vendor, “WE Honest”.  Pre-testing has given me a puzzle.  Testing with a Lionel 1033 transformer, using the accessory posts.  The signal lights when wires attached to the accessory posts.   The sensor sends 10 volts to first the white wire and then the gray wire as expected using the sensor.  When I attach the signal wires to the output wires of the sensor they do not light, however.  I confirmed that both the white and gray output wires from the sensor show 10 volts AC, alternately.  What am I missing?

Looking at this picture and since the sensor has White and Gray wires, it seems like you are using a Z-Stuff DZ 1075.  Here's a link to the online instructions > DZ-1075

Do you have the Transformer, DZ-1075, and Signal connected something like this?

On the Lionel 1033,  for ~ 10VAC operation, connections to terminals B and C may be substituted for Hot and Common in the chart above.
