@ArtsModelTrains  You are correct that the DZ-1000 can handle the non-derail control if wired like is shown in the instructions I posted above.

Apologies for my late night error.  I said non-derail, but was actually thinking of using a DZ-1008 relay to control which center rails are powered, depending on turnout position.  In some cases, selectively powering either the through or divergent center rail can be helpful.

On a Double Crossover, the relay can selectively provide power to pairs of the center diamond rails.  Some trains with either too few pick-up rollers or short spacing between pick-up rollers need this.

Note that where the DZ-1008's White and Gray wires connect was unclear in the instructions shown on the Ross Site.  Here, I added the red numbers where the DZ-1008's White and Gray wires connect to the 175 diamond.
