Looking for help with DZ-1050 from Z-Stuff

E elementdude195OGR Forum Member

Hello Everyone,

I'm working on a project with 3 DZ-1050 signals and I'm looking to alternate them with 3 active tracks. I'm looking for some guidance or what I need to look up. I'm not sure if I need more relays or something like a 4 channel relay or something. My knowledge is very limited in this area. I'll upload a picture to show what I'm working with.

Information about it:

1. Small inner rail sections right where the tracks split on the switch are isolated. Black marks indicate the block.

2. Same thing on the switches on the opposite side

3. I have isolated middle rails. Red marks indicate the block

4. Example for Train A. The top track will be empty, the middle and bottom are occupied. When Train A arrives into the top track I would like the 3 signals to look like this while crossing its respective switch. Top signal: green to yellow to red, middle signal: green, bottom signal: red.

Let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thanks

When I read how the DZ-1050 is built to operate, I am not sure that you can control the indication in the manner that you desire.

When a train is detected by the built in sensor the aspect indicates red to following trains. Then, the timed sequence starts.

It is my opinion that the DZ-1050 is meant for mainline use.

I believe some raw signals connected to an Azatrax device would be better suited to the siding control or a complex set of relay controlled raw signals triggered in any fashion.

You also have the multiple combinations.

It makes my head hurt!

Dang I had a feeling it is meant for mainlines. Well I figure I ask after fiddling around with the instructions for a few hours.

 

So what's Azatrax never heard of it before, but I'll try look it up at lunch later today.

Thanks
